1. Chocolate Stains:

  • Step 1: Scrape off any leftover chocolate bits (no snacking, we see you!).
  • Step 2: Rinse with cold water from the back of the fabric to push the stain out.
  • Step 3: Tear off a small section of Laundry Leaf Detergent Sheet, wet and gently rub in. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to work its magic.
  • Step 4: Wash in warm water (check the care label first!).
  • Step 5: Spot any leftover stain? Repeat, then dry.

 

2. Candy Stains (gummy bears, lollipops, or sticky caramels):

  • Step 1: Carefully scrape off sticky residue.
  • Step 2: Rinse with cold water from the back.
  • Step 3: Soak in warm water with 1/4 of one sheet of Laundry Leaf Detergent Sheets for 15-20 minutes.
  • Step 4: Wash as usual, and check for any lingering stains before drying.
  • Pro Tip: For those brightly colored candy stains, try a few drops of white vinegar after rinsing to help lift leftover color!

 

3. Makeup Stains (foundation, lipstick, mascara):

  • Step 1: Gently blot with a paper towel to lift off any extra makeup (no rubbing!).
  • Step 2: Tear off a small section of Laundry Leaf Detergent Sheet, wet and gently dab and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Step 3: Lightly rub the fabric together or use a soft brush to work in.
  • Step 4: Wash in cold or lukewarm water (not hot!) to keep the makeup from setting.
  • Pro Tip: For oil-based makeup stains, add a tiny bit of dish soap first to lift oily residue.
