Bedding picks up two kinds of stain: oily ones from makeup, face creams and hair, and body stains like sweat and blood. They need different bottles. Treat each one before the wash and your sheets come out clean.

Pillowcases with makeup or oil marks

Use the blue one: Pro Formula

  2. 2Wait 1–3 minutesLeave it to work. Don't let it dry on the fabric.
  3. 3Wash as normalWash with your usual detergent, following the care label. Air-dry first and check: heat can set any oily residue.

Sheets with sweat or blood

Use the pink one: Enzyme Powered

For blood, rinse under cold running water first, never hot. Then:

  3. 3Wash as normalWash with your usual detergent, following the care label. Check the stain has gone before tumble drying.

Mattresses and duvets

Luniva is made for washable fabrics, so use it on sheets, pillowcases, mattress protectors and removable covers that go in the washing machine, rather than on the mattress itself.

Top tips

  • Change pillowcases often if you sleep in makeup or use face oils. Fresh marks are easier.
  • Treat each stain with one bottle; don't layer both on the same spot.
  • Air-dry treated bedding and check it before tumble drying.
