BrightChem Stain Guide: Choosing & Spotter

When it comes to tackling stubborn stains and heavy soiling, knowing which product to reach for can make all the difference. BrightChem’s specialist solutions are designed to target specific soil types, ensuring a cleaner, fresher, and more professional finish every time.

Here’s a quick guide to when and how to use our Solvent Spotter, WS Hybrid Pre-Spray, and High-Power Urine Neutraliser.

Solvent Spotter – Targeted Stain Remover

Best for: Solvent-soluble, oil-based stains

Applications:

• Paint & varnish spots

• Cosmetics (makeup, lipstick, mascara)

• Chewing gum & sticky residues

• Inks, markers & pen stains

• Polymer-based soils (slime, adhesives)

Performance:
Solvent Spotter is designed to cut through tough, oil-based contaminants that water-based products simply can’t shift. Its clear solvent formula penetrates and breaks down stubborn residues, lifting them out of fibres for easier removal. Perfect for targeted spot treatment when dealing with problem stains.

WS Hybrid Pre-Spray – Multi-Purpose Cleaner (50/50 Dilution)

Best for: Mixed water- and oil-based soiling

Applications:

• Food residues & grease

• Soft drink & sugary spills

• Blood & protein-based stains

• Lipstick & cosmetic residues

• Tea & coffee

Performance:
Formulated as a high-alkaline solvent & enzyme blend, WS Hybrid Pre-Spray is highly versatile. It’s especially effective in high-traffic areas, cutting through food oils, organic residues, and particulate soiling. Ideal for pre-spraying large carpeted areas before rinse extraction, leaving fibres fresh and ready for a uniform finish.

High-Power Urine Neutraliser & Mattress Pre-Spray

Best for: Organic odours & contamination

Applications:

• Pet & human urine

• Vomit (animal or human)

• Red wine

• Faecal contamination

• Rust stains

Performance:
This specialist formulation works at the molecular level to neutralise odours and break down protein and tannin-based stains. Particularly useful for mattresses, upholstery, and carpets affected by organic soiling. By oxidising and digesting the source of the stain, it not only removes visible contamination but also tackles lingering odours, leaving treated areas hygienic and fresh.

Pro Tip: Always start with the least aggressive method and test products in an inconspicuous area first. For full stain removal guidance, check out our BrightChem Spotting Guide.
