Follow these simple steps for best results.

**Step 1.** Wet the stained area thoroughly with water.

This helps the paste spread evenly and improves penetration into the fabric.

**Step 2**. Apply Stain Away directly onto the stain.

Cover the entire affected area with the paste.

Focus especially on:

- Collars
- Cuffs
- Grease spots
- Food stains
- Heavy soil areas
 
**Step 3**. Rub Into the Fabric

Rub the paste gently but thoroughly into the stain.

This helps the cleaning ingredients work deeper into the fabric fibers.

For heavier stains, work the paste into both sides of the fabric if possible.

**Step 4**. Leave for 20 Minutes

Allow the product to remain on the stain for approximately 20 minutes before washing.

This contact time helps break down stubborn grease, dirt, and set-in marks.

Do not allow the product to dry completely on the garment.

**Step 5**. Wash Normally

Wash the garment using your normal detergent.

For best results, use with OhSo Bright Laundry Paste.

**Tips for Better Results**

- Treat stains as soon as possible
- Repeat application for extremely stubborn stains
- Works especially well on white garments and linen
- Ideal for school uniforms and workwear
- Test on delicate fabrics first
- Follow garment care label instructions
