AI Summary

short article 1 min

Consumer advocacy group Choice conducted a product test on 23 stain remover powders and 20 pre-treater sprays, evaluating their effectiveness on common and stubborn stains. The test included stains like sweat, grass, mud, cooking oil, chocolate ice-cream, tomato, baby food, blood, and makeup. The results revealed that the cheapest laundry stain removal spray from Aldi, a major Australian supermarket, performed exceptionally well, ranking among the best. Conversely, some name-brand stain removers did not perform as effectively in the tests. The Choice test aimed to inform consumers about the performance of various stain removal products available on the market.
