What enzymes are good at, and what they're not
Enzymes shine on organic, everyday stains: food and sauces, curry, coffee, tea, red wine, chocolate, blood, sweat, grass, milk, vomit and pet accidents.
Heavy oil and grease, body oils, collar grime, makeup and suncream need a different kind of chemistry. That's why Luniva makes two sprays: for those marks, Luniva's guidance is to use Pro Formula, which is a non-enzyme formula.
Are enzyme stain removers safe on colours?
Enzymes don't bleach. Luniva Enzyme Powered is colour-safe and bleach-free on colour-fast washable fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, denim and linen, plus towels and bedding. Patch-test silk, wool, viscose or dry-clean-only items first: wool and silk are made of protein, which is why many biological products ask for care with them.
How to use an enzyme spray
Use the pink one: Enzyme Powered- 1Spray directlySpray Enzyme Powered onto the stain until it's wet through. Don't rub: it pushes the stain deeper.
- 2Wait 1–3 minutesLeave it to work. Don't let it dry on the fabric; if it starts to, mist it again.
- 3Wash as normalWash with your usual detergent, following the care label. Check the stain has gone before tumble drying.
Top tips
- Rinse protein stains like blood and egg in cold water first: heat cooks protein into fabric.
- Give the enzymes 1–3 minutes, then wash. Don't let the spray dry on the fabric.
- Grease and makeup? Reach for the blue bottle instead.
Questions
Both use enzymes. A detergent spreads them across the whole wash; an enzyme spray puts them directly on the stain before the wash, where they're most needed.
No. Pro Formula is a non-enzyme pre-wash spray for greasy and oily stains. Enzyme Powered is the enzyme formula in the range.
No. It's a pre-wash stain treatment: spray it on the stain, wait 1–3 minutes, then wash with your usual detergent following the care label.
