White Clothes Stain Remover

Bleach is the obvious answer for white laundry — and the wrong one. Chlorine weakens cotton with every wash, yellows synthetics, and reacts badly with sweat and antiperspirant. Luniva is an active enzyme stain remover designed for whites: stronger lifting (5–10 min dwell), zero fibre damage and zero chlorine residue.

Why bleach quietly destroys your whites

Chlorine bleach oxidises cellulose — the very fibre cotton is made of. Over time bleached whites thin, tear at the seams, and develop a permanent yellow cast as residual chlorine reacts with body oils. Active Enzymes lift the stain without ever touching the fabric.

How to use Luniva on white clothes stain remover

Step 1 — Spray and saturate: Cover the stain completely. For whole-garment whitening, spray problem areas: collars, cuffs, pits, hem.
Step 2 — Wait 5–10 minutes: Whites tolerate longer dwell times. Let the active enzyme blend fully digest the stain and surrounding sebum.
Step 3 — Wash at 40°C and air dry: Air dry once before tumble-drying. Heat sets any residue you missed.

Compliance note: Based on controlled laboratory testing. Performance may vary by stain age, fabric type and wash conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Is Luniva better than chlorine bleach for whites?

For most household stains, yes. Luniva removes the stain without weakening the fibre, so whites stay bright and structurally sound. Bleach is faster on dye stains but degrades cotton over time.

Will Luniva whiten yellowed pillowcases and sheets?

Yes — saturate the yellowed area, leave for 10 minutes, and wash at 40°C. For deep yellowing, repeat once and air-dry in sunlight.

Can I mix Luniva with oxi powder?

Yes. Oxygen-based whiteners (sodium percarbonate) are active enzyme-compatible. Avoid chlorine bleach — it deactivates the active enzymes.

Why do my white shirts go yellow under the arms?

Aluminium in antiperspirant binds with sweat protein and bonds to fabric. Luniva's protease active enzymes break that bond — spray, wait 5 minutes, wash at 40°C.

Is Luniva safe on white cotton, linen and synthetics?

Yes — colour-safe, fibre-safe and bleach-free. Spot-test silk and wool on a hidden seam first.
