Lifted0%

What it is

Haemoglobin and other proteins. Hot water coagulates them into the fibre. On white cotton and linen, hydrogen peroxide foams on contact because blood carries the enzyme catalase.

How fast it sets

Fast. Hours, not days.

Lift with

Enzyme

protease + amylase

How we lift it

  1. Cold water only, from the back.
  2. An enzyme (protease) pre-soak breaks the protein down.
  3. A dab of 3% peroxide on white linen for the last shadow; it will foam.

Never

Hot water, a hot dryer or an iron until it's gone.
