Complete Stain Removal Guide: Which Alondra Products Work Best
Everyone deals with stains, but not everyone knows the best way to remove them. Coffee spills, grass marks, grease, and wine are part of everyday life, yet they don’t have to ruin your clothes or linens. With the right approach and the right products, even tough stains can come out clean.
This guide will show you how to handle common stains using Alondra cleaning and laundry products, sold by Envirosuds. You’ll learn which products work best for each stain type, how to use them, and a few tips to make stain removal faster and easier.
Why Stain Removal Matters
Stains are more than an appearance issue. Over time, they can damage fabric fibers, leave odors, and shorten the life of your laundry. Whether you’re running a household, managing a facility, or operating a laundry service, knowing how to remove stains properly saves time and money.
Alondra products are professional-grade cleaners designed for both home and commercial use. They’re powerful enough to tackle deep stains yet safe for everyday fabrics when used correctly.
The Three Keys to Removing Stains
Act quickly. The longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove.
Use the right cleaner. Different stains need different solutions. Protein-based stains like food or blood need oxygen-based cleaners, while oily stains respond better to detergents.
Follow dilution and usage directions. Using the correct ratio of cleaner to water ensures effective results without damaging fabrics.

Stain Removal by Type
Below are common household and commercial stains, along with the best Alondra product and method for each.
1. Coffee and Tea Stains
Coffee and tea contain tannins that can leave brown discoloration on fabrics. The longer they sit, the deeper they set.
What to use:
How to remove:
Mix OxyHelp with warm water to create a soaking solution.
Submerge the stained fabric for 30 minutes to one hour.
Rinse and launder using Alondra Green Laundry Detergent.
Pro tip: For white fabrics, soak overnight for maximum brightness.
2. Red Wine Stains
Wine stains are among the toughest, especially on light-colored fabrics. OxyHelp’s oxygen-based formula breaks down the natural dyes that cause red or purple discoloration.
What to use:
How to remove:
Blot excess liquid immediately.
Mix OxyHelp with warm water and apply directly to the stain.
Let it sit for at least 1 hour.
Wash using Alondra Blue or Free & Gentle Laundry Detergent.
Pro tip: Avoid hot water until the stain is gone; heat can set wine stains permanently.
3. Grease and Oil Stains
From cooking spills to mechanic work, grease stains are common but removable with the right approach.
What to use:
Alondra All Purpose Cleaner (for pretreating)
How to remove:
Apply All Purpose Cleaner directly to the grease spot. Use a 1:1 dilution with water.
Gently rub with a soft cloth or brush.
Let sit for 10 minutes before rinsing.
Wash using Alondra Laundry Detergent.
Pro tip: For large grease stains, soak in a bucket with a small amount of detergent for 30 minutes before machine washing.
4. Grass and Mud Stains
Outdoor stains are a mix of organic material and dirt, which makes OxyHelp ideal.
What to use:
How to remove:
Pre-treat with a paste made of OxyHelp and warm water.
Gently rub into the stain with a soft brush.
Let sit for 30 minutes.
Launder with Alondra Green Laundry Detergent.
Pro tip: For white sports uniforms, add OxyHelp directly to the wash cycle as a booster.
5. Food and Sauce Stains
Tomato sauce, ketchup, and condiments often contain both oil and pigment. This combination requires a two-step cleaning approach.
What to use:
Alondra All Purpose Cleaner (for oil and residue)
Alondra OxyHelp Powdered Stain Remover (for pigment)
How to remove:
Blot excess sauce.
Spray All Purpose Cleaner diluted 1:1 and blot again.
Mix OxyHelp with warm water and soak for 1 hour.
Wash as usual with Alondra Blue Laundry Detergent.
Pro tip: Avoid scrubbing tomato stains aggressively, as that can push pigment deeper into fabric fibers.
6. Blood and Protein Stains
Protein-based stains like blood or sweat respond best to oxygen-based cleaners in cool water.
What to use:
How to remove:
Rinse with cool water only.
Make an OxyHelp solution and soak for 30 minutes.
Wash using Free & Gentle Detergent to avoid irritation.
Pro tip: Never use hot water for blood stains—it can cook the proteins and lock in the stain.
7. Ink and Marker Stains
Ink stains can be tricky, but quick action can save the fabric.
What to use:
How to remove:
Place a paper towel under the stain to absorb excess ink.
Spray All Purpose Cleaner directly and blot with a clean cloth.
Repeat until the ink lifts.
Wash using Alondra Green Laundry Detergent.
Pro tip: For permanent marker stains, repeat the process twice before washing.
8. Sweat and Odor Stains
Over time, sweat can cause yellowing and lingering odor in fabrics. Regular detergent often can’t remove both.
What to use:
How to remove:
Soak clothes in warm water mixed with OxyHelp for 1 hour.
Wash with Alondra Green Detergent.
Air dry in sunlight to help neutralize odors naturally.
Pro tip: Use OxyHelp in every third or fourth wash to keep fabrics bright and odor-free.
Combining Products for Best Results
For heavily stained loads or commercial laundry, combining Alondra products can maximize results.
Example combination routine:
Pre-treat with Alondra All Purpose Cleaner (diluted 1:1).
Soak in OxyHelp solution for 1 hour.
Wash with Alondra Green Laundry Detergent.
This three-step method handles multiple types of stains at once, from grease to organic buildup.
Safe and Effective Cleaning Every Time
All Alondra products are phosphate-free and biodegradable, making them effective yet environmentally responsible. When used as directed, they won’t harm fabrics or surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first for colorfastness.
Dilution reminders:
OxyHelp: Mix 1 scoop per gallon of warm water for soaking.
All Purpose Cleaner: Use 2 oz per gallon of water for general cleaning or 1:1 for tough stains.
Laundry Detergents: Follow your washer’s recommended usage for concentrated formulas.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using hot water too soon. It can set certain stains.
Skipping a pre-treat step. Pre-treating saves time in the wash.
Mixing different cleaners. Always use products separately and rinse between steps.
Overloading the washer. Give clothes room to move for better cleaning results.
