Professional Stain Removers for Clothes
Luniva makes two specialist stain removers. Enzyme Powered targets food and everyday stains — curry, sauce, blood, sweat, grass and collar marks. Pro Formula is a pre-treatment for everyday greasy and oily household stains — cooking grease, body oils, makeup, suncream and collar grime. Both cover a wide range of common stains on cotton, linen, polyester and blended fabric. Results vary by stain type, fabric and how long the stain has been left. Colour-safe. No bleach. Fast UK dispatch.
How to use: 1) Spray directly onto the stain. 2) Let it sit 1–3 minutes. 3) Wash as normal with your usual detergent, following the garment care label. Do not let the treatment dry on the fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions — Stain & Dirt Removal from Clothes
What is Luniva and what does it do?
Luniva makes two pre-wash stain removers. Enzyme Powered is an enzyme formula for food, drink, protein and other everyday organic stains — curry, sauce, blood, sweat, grass, baby food. Pro Formula is not enzyme-based and is built for cooking grease, body oils, collar grime, makeup, suncream and workwear marks.
How do I use Luniva stain remover?
The method is the same for both bottles: spray directly onto the stain, let it sit for 1–3 minutes, then wash with your usual detergent following the garment care label. Do not let the product dry on the fabric. No pre-soaking or rinsing required before washing.
Is Luniva safe on coloured fabrics?
Yes. Both Luniva formulas are bleach-free and colour-safe on colour-fast washable fabrics. We recommend testing on a hidden area first, and always follow the garment care label.
Does Luniva remove grease and makeup stains?
Yes — with the right bottle. Use Pro Formula (non-enzyme) for cooking grease, cooking oil, butter, body oils and oily makeup such as foundation. Use Enzyme Powered for food, drink, protein and pigment stains such as curry and blood.
How do I remove dirt from clothes?
To remove ground-in dirt and mud from clothes, let any wet mud dry completely first and brush off the loose soil. Spray Luniva Enzyme Powered directly onto the dirty area until the fabric is saturated, work it in gently with your fingers and leave for 1–3 minutes, then wash with your usual detergent following the garment care label. Do not let the product dry on the fabric. No bleach or scrubbing required, and suitable for cotton, polyester, denim and most colour-fast coloured fabrics.
Does active enzyme stain remover work on blood stains?
Yes — blood is a protein stain, so use Enzyme Powered. Rinse the stain in cold water first (never hot, which sets the stain), spray directly on, leave for 1–3 minutes, then wash cool with your usual detergent following the garment care label. For dried-in blood, re-spray and repeat the 1–3 minute treatment rather than leaving one application on longer.
How long should I leave stain remover on clothes before washing?
Leave Luniva on the stain for 1–3 minutes, for both formulas. Do not let the product dry on the fabric. For older, set-in or stubborn stains, re-spray and repeat the 1–3 minute treatment rather than extending a single application, then wash with your usual detergent following the garment care label. Never tumble-dry the garment until you have confirmed the stain is fully removed, as heat can set any residue permanently.
Can Luniva remove old, dried-in or set-in stains from clothes?
Often, yes. Saturate the stain, work the formula in gently, leave for 1–3 minutes, then wash with your usual detergent following the garment care label. Older stains may need a second application. Results vary with stain type, fabric and how long the stain has been left.
Will Luniva remove stains from white clothes without bleach?
Yes — Luniva is bleach-free, with no chlorine or optical brighteners. Enzyme Powered targets the sweat, food and protein residues behind yellowing; Pro Formula targets the body oils and collar grime. Both work as a 1–3 minute pre-treat before a normal wash.
Is Luniva safe to use in a washing machine and on baby clothes?
Yes. Luniva is a pre-treatment spray applied directly to the stain before the garment goes into the machine — nothing goes into the drum or detergent drawer. It is compatible with all standard washing machines, free from bleach, and suitable for use on baby clothes and bedding — always wash the garment before wearing.
