Ever wonder why every stain removal tip tells you to blot, not rub?
Turns out, there’s real science behind it—and it’s the secret to keeping your carpet, couches, and clothes looking good.
Let’s break it down.
When a spill happens, your first instinct might be to rub or scrub the stain out with a damp sponge. Bad idea.
Because rubbing just pushes the stain deeper into fabrics or fibers, helping the stain spread and set. It can also damage the weave of the fabric.
Here’s what to do instead.
Blot or gently dab with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much of the stain as you can.
The sooner you get to work, the easier the stain will be to remove. So be sure to act fast.
Here’s the right way to blot stains away.
💡 Pro Tip: To keep stain from spreading, always blot from the outside toward the center of the stain.
Stain-Fighting Enzymes Work With Your Fabrics, Not Against Them
Most traditional stain removers use harsh chemicals—bleach, ammonia, and synthetic solvents—that destroy the stain by stripping it out.
The problem?
Not only do they release harmful fumes that may irritate your skin and lungs, they destroy your fabrics. The stain may be “gone,” but you can still see an outline of it on your furniture, clothes, or rugs.
At Truly Free Home, we believe there's a better way
Think of enzymes like tiny stain-eating machines. They target specific organic molecules—in food, grass, sweat, coffee, or wine—and break them down into smaller pieces that can be lifted and rinsed away.
Enzymes work exceptionally well on these organic stains and even biofluids that households with kids and pets are only too familiar with: baby spit-up, blood, vomit, poop, and urine.
Our Odor & Stain Eliminator uses a blend of beneficial bacteria that produce enzymes that:
✔️ Break down stubborn stains at the molecular level
✔️ Neutralize odors from pets, spills, or “uh-ohs”
✔️ Protect your fabrics with zero dyes or harsh bleaches
And because it’s made with plant-based, non-toxic ingredients, it’s safe for your kids, your pets, and the planet.
