There’s no need to despair, to throw away clothes, or to resort to the ever popular nudist mealtime policy. With Spray 'n Wash, removing these stains are a breeze.

Baby foods are often made with very simple ingredients, and pureed to ensure easy digestion. What this means for your washing however, is that all the wonderful liquefied vegetables are the perfect delivery system for their bright colored pigments - which cling to the fibers of your or your baby’s clothing. Usually in the same few uncomplimentary colors.


ORANGE

Pumpkin and sweet potatoes all contain high levels of beta-carotene; a proto-vitamin that can be converted into Vitamin A by the body. This substance is also what gives these their vibrant colors, and serves as a highly effective dye.


GREEN


Processed peas, spinach and broccoli all get their vibrant greens from high levels of chlorophyll, the chemical that enables plants to convert sugars and waters into energy through sunlight. Although whether it has any effect on humans is often disputed, one definite side effect is that it turns otherwise nutritious vegetables into potential luminous green stains.


PURPLE


Blueberries and beets are both excellent sources of vitamins and minerals, but are also used commercially to produce dyes and inks. As you would expect, these dyes can be very difficult to remove from clothing as they are very efficient at latching on to natural fibers.

The reason that Spray 'n Wash works so well when compared to ordinary detergents is that it uses enzymes and biological substances to break down the starches and proteins that make up these dyes, meaning that whether your baby wants to eat their food, or wear it, their clothes will always look like new.


HOW TO REMOVE THESE STAINS:


The critical factor with these stains, as with most, is time. The sooner you tackle these stains, the easier it will be to get them out. First, rinse under warm-water from the back of the material to wash out any of the actual food still stuck on, without forcing it further into the fabric. Then use Spray 'n Wash Trigger, and work this into the stain. Don’t forget to also do this to the back of the stain, so the Spray 'n Wash can get to work from the other side as well. Once you’ve done this, launder with the rest of your wash to ensure that these stains don’t stand a chance.
