It figures. You spill tomato sauce on the white shirt you just washed. Or you get ink on your new dress while doing a craft with the kids. The good news is that getting annoying stains out is easier when you know which stain remover is right for the job.

Organic stains: Use Truly Free Enzyme Stain Remover

Most stains fall into this category—grass, dirt, wine, coffee, and of course, food are all from nature, and therefore organic. The same goes for biofluids like baby spit-up, blood, vomit, poop, and urine. One tiny scoop of Truly Free Enzyme Stain Remover—also from nature!—is powerful enough to naturally break down organic material to eliminate the toughest stains.

You can either add it directly to your washer or turn it into a stain-removing paste to spot-treat stains. (This is a good idea when you can’t run a load of laundry—treating stains as soon as possible greatly increases your chances of success.) The water-activated enzymes are also free from harmful chemicals so they’re safe for your family and ultra gentle on your fabrics.

Whitening & Brightening: Use Truly Free Home Oxyboost

Over time, white clothing, towels, and sheets can start to look dingy. Using too much detergent, not separating whites from darks, or washing in hard water can all dull white fabrics. Inadequate washing and rinsing may also leave residue behind that attracts dirt and cause graying.

Unlike chlorine bleach, Truly Free OxyBoost is color safe and gentle on fabrics. Instead of using chlorine, it releases oxygen that breaks down stains to brighten or whiten fabrics. You can use Truly Free OxyBoost either as an everyday stain-fighting boost or as an occasional add in for heavily soiled loads.

How to turn graying fabrics from drab to fab

For especially dingy fabrics, you can also use Truly Free OxyBoost as a presoak or laundry stripper. Remember, never mix whites with colors to avoid any possible color transfer.

Step 1: Fill a soaking bucket or utility sink with hot water.

Step 2: Add 2-3 scoops of OxyBoost and submerge the fabrics—use a wooden spoon or wait for the water to cool.

Step 3: Let it sit for at least 5 hours—overnight is best for extra dingy fabrics.

Step 4: Wash and dry as you normally would.

Stubborn stains: Use Truly Free Stain Stick

Finally, there will be times when you need a bit more stain-removing power up your sleeve. (Like the ink you got on your dress.) The Truly Free Stain Stick is a non-toxic stain remover that takes on the "impossible" without resorting to harmful chemicals.

Step 1: Wet both soiled garment area and the Truly Free Stain Stick.

Step 2: Scrub stain with the stick until lather appears.

Step 3: Rinse to make sure the stain has disappeared.

Step 4: Wash and dry as you normally would.

While we can’t promise you’ll never experience stains, we can promise you that every Truly Free stain-fighter is safe and gentle on your skin, thanks to non-toxic formulas powered by nature.
