Hits the Spots
It’s a natural thing to get food, dirt, chocolate and more on our clothes. Now getting those stains out is just as natural with the Felted Goat Milk Soap Stain Stick.
Founder Rachel Bollin wanted to root out artificial chemicals at home after her husband suffered health problems. She started making all-natural laundry products and her business, B & N Laundry, took off.
Their stain stick is made in California with a goat milk soap that contains enzymes to fight stains and leave fabric soft. Rachel added the natural mined salt, borax, to soften water and lighten stains. And her recipe includes orange essential oils, which lift out oils and grease while adding a fresh scent.
If you’re looking for more natural ways to clean, go ahead and start with the laundry.

8/24/2015 12:20 PMI have a canvas bag that I got some spots of red wine on. Can this be used on this and can I just rinse the spot out with water without having to wash the entire bag?

8/24/2015 12:23 PM@Kelly yes Kelly. With red wine, first sprinkle salt on it. Let it sit for a bit. Then use the stain stick and rinse off.

8/24/2015 12:36 PMHow much in advance before washing can you use the stain stick?
Rachel – Special Guest
8/24/2015 12:39 PM@Lucinda it really depends on the stain, you can use and throw in the wash right away if it's a pretty basic stain and if it's a harder stain that's been washed and dried or left in the hamper, you may want to leave the stain remover on for a couple of hours.

8/24/2015 1:01 PMCan a shirt be pretreated when spilled on then not laundered for up to a week?
Rachel – Special Guest
8/24/2015 1:04 PM@Mary Jane yep! wait as long as you need to. We all forget things.
Mary Jane
8/24/2015 1:34 PM@Rachel thank you. Most products now require almost immediate washing and I just don't have that much laundry (thank goodness!)
Mary Jane
8/24/2015 1:36 PM@Mary Jane oops - forgot to say that those existing products end up bleaching the fabric of not laundered quickly - ugh!

8/24/2015 1:11 PMHello Rachel,
This looks like my kind of product! Thanks for designing it. Wondering, however, if a colored garment might essentially bleach out where the soap is applied if it isn't thrown into the wash immediately. Have you experimented with this?
Rachel – Special Guest
8/24/2015 1:14 PM@JoAnne We have a ton of fans who put their children in all kinds of clothes and have never had an issue with it bleaching out. I myself have applied and left it on a stain for a couple of days and had no issues.

8/24/2015 1:38 PM@Michael we have had some customers have luck with paint. It's one of those things you kinda have to test out. The type of paint, color and how long it's been on the jeans is going to make a difference in the success.

8/24/2015 3:42 PMWill it remove rust stains?
Rachel – Special Guest
8/24/2015 3:57 PM@Judith Great question. The closest thing to rust it's been tested on is red clay and it works. I haven't tested it on rust (now I want to) but if it gets out red clay and blood, I would think it would be able to lift out rust. Wish I had a more definite answer for you.

8/24/2015 5:29 PMDoes it work on underarm stains on men's white t shirts?
Rachel – Special Guest
8/24/2015 5:32 PM@Jan yes it does Jan!
Jan
8/24/2015 5:35 PM@Rachel Do you need to let it sit for awhile or wash right away?
Rachel – Special Guest
8/24/2015 5:39 PM@Jan for that type of stain, I would say leave it on a couple of hours.
Jan
8/24/2015 5:46 PM@Rachel I am ordering one right now! Thank you
Rachel – Special Guest
8/24/2015 5:54 PM@Jan thank you for your support
