What it does

A small pre wash stain spray from The Hate Stains Co., sold for food, grease and coffee stains on kids' clothes and other laundry.

  • Spray on, rub in, then wash as usual
  • Short ingredient list built around a mild surfactant
  • Small bottle that fits in a diaper bag or purse
  • Same formula line also sold as wipes and a pen for on the go use
  • Marketed on Amazon toward newborn and baby laundry

Worth keeping in the laundry room or diaper bag for parents who treat food stains before washing. Reviewers found it strong on sauces, jams and ketchup, but weaker on mustard, set in wine and old grime, and it costs more per ounce than ordinary stain removers.
