Stain Remover Pen, Waterless Oil & Grease Remover 12ml

An oil mark on a white shirt is normally the end of the shirt, because by the time you get home the stain has set and washing it only fixes it in place. Treating it in the first few minutes is what actually works, and that means carrying something.

This pen is waterless, which is the whole point of the format. There is no dabbing at a mark with a wet napkin and spreading it into a larger pale ring. You apply the pen directly, work it in, and the degreasing agent lifts oil out of the fibres so it lifts away in the next wash rather than setting. Twelve millilitres is enough for many separate incidents, and it lives in a handbag, a car door pocket or a desk drawer.

Aimed at food oil, grease and cooking splashes on shirts, collars, uniforms and light fabrics. Green, rose red, blue or purple. Test it on a hidden seam first if the fabric is delicate or brightly dyed, and keep it away from children.
