How to Remove Food Stains with Alondra OxyHelp Powdered Stain Remover
Food stains are part of everyday life. Whether it’s tomato sauce on a white shirt, grease from cooking, or a splash of coffee on your favorite towel, they always seem to happen at the worst times. The good news is that most food stains don’t have to be permanent. With Alondra OxyHelp Powdered Stain Remover, you can lift even the toughest marks and keep your clothes looking fresh and bright.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to remove common food stains step-by-step, plus see a quick reference chart for tackling specific types of stains.
Why OxyHelp Works So Well
Alondra OxyHelp uses oxygen-based cleaning power to break down and lift stains from fabric fibers. Unlike bleach, it’s color-safe and works on whites and colors alike. It’s also compatible with both standard and high-efficiency washing machines, making it a go-to solution for everyday laundry.
When mixed with water, OxyHelp releases active oxygen that loosens and dissolves tough stains like coffee, chocolate, and grease without damaging fabrics. It can be used as a pre-soak, a laundry booster, or a direct spot treatment depending on the type of stain.
How to Use OxyHelp for Food Stains
1. Pre-Treat the Stain
Start by brushing off or rinsing away any excess food. Mix a small amount of Alondra OxyHelp with warm water to form a paste. Apply it directly to the stained area and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
2. Soak if Needed
For larger or older stains, fill a basin or sink with warm water and dissolve OxyHelp according to the directions on the container. Let the stained item soak for at least 30 minutes before washing.
3. Wash as Usual
After soaking, wash the item using your regular laundry detergent. For an extra boost, add a scoop of OxyHelp to the wash cycle.
4. Check Before Drying
Make sure the stain is completely gone before putting the item in the dryer. Heat can set stains permanently. If needed, repeat the treatment once more before drying.
Stain Removal Guide: Common Food Stains and How to Treat Them
| Stain Type | Treatment Steps | OxyHelp Method |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee or Tea | Rinse with cold water, then pre-treat. | Apply OxyHelp paste directly to stain, let sit 10 minutes, then wash. |
| Tomato Sauce | Scrape off excess and rinse in cold water. | Soak for 1 hour in warm OxyHelp solution before washing. |
| Grease or Oil | Blot with paper towel, don’t rub. | Pre-treat with OxyHelp paste, then add to wash cycle. |

These methods are safe for most washable fabrics. Always check garment labels for care instructions and test colorfastness on delicate or dyed fabrics before soaking.
