How to Choose the Right Pre-Spray for Traffic, Urine and Food Stains
When to Use High Power WS Enzyme, High Power Urine Neutraliser, and Hybrid Enzyme & Solvent Pre-Sprays

High Power WS Enzyme Pre-Spray
(WoolSafe & CleanSeal Approved)
Formulated with live enzymes that digest organic matter such as proteins, starches, and fats.
Best for:
  • Fresh urine, faeces, vomit
  • Food and drink spills (milk, gravy, wine, coffee, etc.)
  • General pet odours
  • Protein-based stains (blood, egg, sweat)
Pros:
  • Continues working as long as moisture remains
  • Removes odours at the source rather than masking them
  • Gentle on fibres
  • Eco-friendly and biodegradable
Limitations:
  • Requires dwell time to achieve best results
  • Less effective on old or set-in stains
  • Limited sanitising effect

High Power Urine Neutraliser – Oxidising Pre-Spray
Uses oxidising agents (such as hydrogen peroxide) to break down odour molecules, stains, and colour-causing compounds.
Best for:
  • Old or severe urine contamination (especially cat urine)
  • Heavy odour situations
  • Stains that enzymes alone do not remove
  • Situations requiring quick results
Pros:
  • Fast acting, minimal dwell time needed
  • Excellent for set-in urine odours and stains
  • Effective on red wine, coffee, tea, and even rust
  • Provides a sanitising effect
Limitations:
  • Can be harsher on fibres if overused

Hybrid Enzyme & Solvent Pre-Spray
(WoolSafe & CleanSeal Approved)
Combines enzyme technology with solvent cleaning power. Enzymes break down organic soils (urine, faeces, vomit, food), while solvents dissolve oily, greasy, or synthetic residues (tar, oil, ink, adhesives).
Best for:
  • Mixed soiling (organic and oily/greasy)
  • Food spills that contain both fats/oils and proteins
  • Oil, grease, gum, tar, cosmetics, ink, or paint
  • Commercial or domestic carpets with varied contamination
Pros:
  • Tackles the widest range of soils in one product
  • Fast-acting, effective for both organic and oily stains
  • Reduces the need for multiple products
Limitations:
  • May be unnecessary for simple, single-source stains
  • As with any solvent-based cleaner, fibre testing and good ventilation are advised
Summary:
  • High Power WS Enzyme Pre-Spray – Best for fresh organic stains and odours, especially food, pet accidents, and protein-based spills. Works deeply but requires dwell time.
  • High Power Urine Neutraliser Pre-Spray – Best for old, severe, or odorous urine problems, or when fast results are needed. Also excellent on red wine, tea, and coffee.
  • Hybrid Enzyme & Solvent Pre-Spray – Best for mixed contamination (organic + oily/greasy). A strong all-rounder for commercial carpets, kitchens, and households with pets.
Choosing the Correct 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.
