Thick hoodies and sweatshirts
Brushed fleece on the inside of a hoodie soaks up a stain like a sponge, so make sure the spray goes right through. Spray the front of the stain until it's wet through, then turn the hoodie inside out and check the back of the fabric. Pull the drawstrings out a little so they don't tangle in the wash.
Printed T-shirts
Treat stains from the inside where you can, and patch-test near the print first. Wash printed tops inside out at the temperature on the care label, and don't iron directly over a print.
Top tips
- Treat the stain before the wash, not after: heat from a dryer sets what's left.
- Grey marl and pale colours show oil marks the most. Check them in daylight before drying.
- Wash hoodies inside out to keep the outside soft and stop bobbling.
Questions
Blot off any excess, spray Pro Formula until the stain is wet through, leave 1–3 minutes and wash inside out as normal. Thick fleece may need a second treatment for older stains.
Yellow underarm marks are sweat, so use Enzyme Powered. If there's also a stiff, greasy build-up from deodorant, treat that separately with Pro Formula.
Patch-test near the print first, treat from the inside where you can, and wash inside out. Both sprays are bleach-free.
