Tough Love is our powerful, considered stain remover, designed to lift everyday and stubborn stains without fading colour-fast fabrics. The powdered, chlorine-free formula is effective on common marks like wine, grass and coffee, while being kinder to clothes than traditional stain treatments. With a neutral scent and no harsh fragrance, it fits easily into a more thoughtful laundry routine. Packaged in an infinitely recyclable aluminium bottle.

A targeted solution for stains without harsh chemicals

Some stains need a little extra help. Tough Love is designed for those moments, offering effective stain removal while staying gentle on colour-fast fabrics. The powdered formula activates in warm or hot water (depending on the care label), helping lift stains without chlorine or heavy fragrance.

Use as a pre-soak or alongside your regular wash, depending on the stain and fabric

More than 30%: oxygen-based bleaching agents.

If you spot a stain on your clothing then it’s important to deal with it as soon as possible. Some substances will come out more easily when wet, but not when dry. Use the hottest water that the care label will allow when removing stains.

Before Using: Test for colourfastness and compatibility on an inconspicuous area of the fabric. Do not use on leather or suede, wood, or metals. Do not soak fabrics with metal fasteners or flame-resistant finishes. 

Pre-soak: Apply our stain removal directly to the stain, massage in gently with your fingers or a soft sponge, and then leave to soak in warm or hot water (if you can), for one hour. If the stain has faded but not totally disappeared, then repeat. When it’s totally disappeared, wash by hand or by machine as normal.

Machine Wash: For light soiling use 3-6 g of stain removal, Medium soiling use 6-10 g; heavy soiling use 10-15 g per kg of dry laundry.

The Best Product

Asked The Clothes Doctor expert for advice on removing a long standing tea stain from a cashmere jumper. Had tried all sorts before but it was not shifting. Used the Tough Love product and bingo the stain was gone! So so happy. Thank you ❤️

This actually works!

This is the only stain remover to work on a stubborn stain on a pair of cream shorts. Couldn’t believe that it’s finally gone after trying many different stain removal products.

Brilliant product

Badly stained T-shirt, which had been in a suitcase for a fortnight ... On first wash without this product I could still see stain. This product is a lifesaver - brilliant. Extremely happy with result

First time use

I bought this product with the laundry "soap" just because I enjoy other products from this range. To be honest I didn't expect much but to my surprise it took a rather large tea stain out of a white top in no time at all! I will certain buy again when needed.
