Pumpkin stain removal

  1. Quickly treat the stain with ox gall soap
    Take a bar of ox gall soap, wet it and rub directly onto the stain. Ox gall soap is a natural stain remover that breaks down fats and proteins, making it very effective for all kinds of stains, including those caused by pumpkin.

  2. Let the soap soak in
    Let the ox gall soap soak in for about 30 minutes, giving the product enough time to penetrate deep into the fabric's fibres and loosen the stain.

  3. Wash your clothes as usual
    After the ox gall soap has soaked in, simply put the garment in the washing machine, using a wash cycle that suits its fabric. Sure enough the stain will be gone and you will we all set for your next spooky Halloween activity!

    With this simple method, you’ll never have to worry about pumpkin stains on your favourite outfit again!

Did you know that?

  • Pumpkin contains carotenoids, the orange pigments also found in carrots. That is why they can leave those stubborn stains on light-coloured fabrics. Fortunately, they are easy to remove if you act quickly.

  • Ox gall soap has been around for centuries and was originally made from the bile of oxen. Being one of the oldest and most effective natural stain removers, it works really well for stains from fruits, vegetables and fats.

So go ahead and keep working on those Halloween decorations confidently!
