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.

- 3Wash as normalWash with your usual detergent, following the care label. Check the stain has gone before tumble drying.
Jumpers, cardigans and blazers
Check the label. Most school jumpers are cotton or polyester blends and are fine to treat; test on a hidden area first, such as inside the hem. Don't use Pro Formula on wool.
Many blazers are dry clean only. Follow the care label, and if you do treat a mark, test somewhere hidden first.
Blood from nosebleeds and grazes
Use the pink one: Enzyme PoweredRinse under cold running water from the back of the fabric, never hot: heat sets blood. Spray Enzyme Powered, wait 1–3 minutes and wash at no more than 40°C.
Top tips
- Treat stains the evening they come home. Fresh stains are much easier than ones that have dried in.
- Keep a bottle next to the washing machine so it's there when the bag is emptied.
- Air-dry uniform you've treated and check it before using a dryer.
