Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

1. Carefully blot stain to remove residue & liquid. 2. Place CVS/pharmacy Stain Remover Stick onto the stain & press down activating soft blot applicator tip. Solution will start flowing. Continue to blot stain until fabric is well saturated with CVS/pharmacy Instant Stain Remover Stick Solution. Do not saturate the skin. Some stains will fade within 5 minutes of treating. For stubborn stains gently rub soft blot applicator across the entire stain. Repeat if necessary. 4. Wipe treated area with damp cloth removing excess CVS/pharmacy Stain Remover liquid. Avoid sunlight after use. Wipe soft blot applicator tip clean after use to remove residue. Cleaning the tip after use will prolong the life of the stain stick. No stain remover gets out all types of stains. CVS/pharmacy Instant Stain Remover Stick will not work on greasy, ink or blood stains. Safe on most colorfast, machine washable fabrics. Some fabrics may be susceptible to color change. Test on a hidden area prior to use. Do not use on silk, velvet, wool, leather, suede. DO NOT USE ON DRY CLEAN ONLY FABRICS!! NOTE: To avoid yellowing, wipe treated area with damp cloth after use. Avoid sunlight. FOR BEST RESULTS TREAT STAINS WHILE THEY ARE FRESH. ALWAYS TEST ON HIDDEN AREA BEFORE USING.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
