Context: We have been a long-time Shout stain remover user — and came across Meliora’s Laundry Stain Removal Soap Stick in our quest to remove all plastic bottles out of our home.
We tested Meliora’s Laundry Stain Removal Soap Stick on our dining table runner — which had accumulated some greasy looking stains over the last few weeks:
We wet the fabric and rubbed the soap stick in the stained area
Stain came out FULLY, we are very excited!
We are excited to test this on more stains! Per its Amazon review, customers claim it has helped them remove baby poop stains, deodorant stains, wine stains and more - wow!
