Most stain "failures" come from using the wrong product or not giving it time to work — not from a lack of elbow grease.
Match the product to the stain
- Grease needs a degreaser.
- Mineral deposits (limescale) need a mild acid.
- Protein stains (blood, food) respond to enzymes.
Let it dwell
Apply, then wait a few minutes before wiping. Dwell time does the work so you don't have to scrub. Always test on a hidden spot first, and never mix cleaning chemicals.
