Lifty’s Quick Tip: Treat Pet Stains Before Laundry Day

Here is Lifty’s quick laundry tip for the day: treat pet stains before laundry day.

Pet messes happen. Whether it is a dog bed, blanket, towel, washable cushion cover, or favorite throw, pet stains and odors can settle into fabric if they sit too long.

The sooner you treat the affected area, the better chance you have of helping break down the stain and odor-causing residue before it becomes harder to remove.

Lifty’s Tip

Do not wait until laundry day to treat pet stains.

Blot up any excess residue first, then spray the stained or odor-affected area with InstaLift 7-Enzyme Stain Remover.

Allow the formula time to work before washing according to the fabric care label.

Why Pet Stains Need Enzyme Contact Time

Pet stains are often more than just visible marks on fabric.

They can include organic residue that contributes to lingering odors, discoloration, and repeat smells even after washing.

This may happen with:

  • Pet urine
  • Pet accidents
  • Drool
  • Muddy paw prints
  • Food-related pet messes
  • Body oils from pet bedding
  • Odor-causing fabric residue

Enzyme-powered cleaning is helpful because enzymes are designed to target organic messes and help break them down before the wash cycle begins.

Where This Helps

InstaLift 7-Enzyme Stain Remover can be used as a laundry pre-treatment spray on washable fabrics where compatible.

It is useful for items such as:

  • Pet blankets
  • Dog bed covers
  • Washable cushion covers
  • Towels
  • Pet clothing
  • Throws
  • Washable rugs and mats, when the care label allows

Always check the care label first and test in an inconspicuous area if you are unsure about fabric compatibility.

What To Do Before Washing

For pet stains, use this simple approach:

  • Remove or blot excess residue
  • Spray the affected area
  • Let the formula sit briefly
  • Wash according to the care label
  • Check before drying

If the stain or odor remains after washing, treat the area again and rewash before placing it in the dryer.

Dryer heat can make some stains and odors harder to remove later.

Quick Reminder

Pet stains are easier to manage when you treat them early.

Blot first. Spray next. Give enzymes time to work. Then wash.

A little extra attention before laundry day can help keep washable pet fabrics fresher, cleaner, and easier to maintain.
