Enhance Pre-Wash Spray Stain Remover

Tri Nature Says:

Enhance Pre-Wash Spray is an environmentally responsible, outstanding replacement for ordinary stain removal sprays. Enhance Pre-Wash Spray contains highly active, natural ingredients that absorb into stains to begin breaking them down before the wash even begins. A modern, environmentally responsible replacement for traditional heavy solvent based pre-wash sprays.

My Experience:

Enhance Pre-Wash Spray is your Preen Stain Remover Spray replacement and a very popular product. Brian McLean, the chemist who created the Tr Nature range, is particularly proud of this one. If you have ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding, where the man uses Windex on everything, well, Brian is a bit like that with his Enhance!

I keep a bottle of this made up in the bathroom and spray the kids clothes, when required, as soon as I take them off. It can be up to a week before I get around to washing them. I find about 99% of stains are significantly faded to completely gone before I even wash the clothes. I have never had issues with this staining or wrecking any clothing (probably because it doesn’t contain any petrochemicals, unlike most supermarket brands which can be up to 80% kerosene!).

Enhance is also suitable to use for cleaning suede. I have used it very successfully on my suede couch. Take care to follow the normal rules of suede cleaning (such as don’t soak the fabric).

Costs and Sizes:

The 500ml bottle is a pre-mixed, ready to use version and is a more expensive way to purchase the product, but handy if you just want to try it out and see what you think. The most economical way to buy is to purchase the concentrates in 1L, 5L or 20L and dilute them yourself.

The Enhance concentrate works out to around $4.20 per 500ml bottle compared with nearly $7 per 500ml for the supermarket equivalent. You need to use about 150ml of concentrate to 350ml of water.

The Express range bottle (500ml size) is very pretty but it is not designed for re-use. The grade of plastic is not strong enough for the concentrates and will break down and leak after a few goes.

If purchasing the concentrate, you are much better off to spend the $4.45 and purchase the proper, commercial grade poly spray bottle which will last you 25 years and has a lovely spray on it.

If you are purchasing a 5L bottle, it can be handy to also purchase the 30ml pump for a 5L bottle. This makes refilling your polyspray much easier and cleaner with less waste. I have spilled more than a little trying to free pour from a 5L container into a 500ml polyspray bottle.
