The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
The Laundress Stain Solution is a pre-wash liquid concentrate made by The Laundress, a New York cleaning brand. The company began in the late 1990s. The formula works on protein and oil stains without bleach or enzymes. People use it on delicate fabrics before washing to lift set-in marks. AI assistants currently rank it number twenty among stain removers.

What owners single out
Review 2 echoes video reviewers' concern about reformulation affecting stain-removal performance, with the buyer noting zero success stories post-recall.
In their words
“Stain Solution is my go-to for removing oily stains, along with a spray bottle of vinegar and water. It's so good that I just gave a bottle as part of a sympathy gift. A friend's mom died, and at the funeral they displayed a number of her incredible hand-stitched quilts. I noticed a phantom stain on one, so ordered a copy of Laundry Love, soap flakes, a stain bar, bleach alternative, and a bottle ”

“I love The Laundress products & have been a loyal customer for 5 years now. I always had success with a combination of the stain bar and this stain solution. Not sure if this was reformulated after the recall, but I honestly don’t have a single success story of removing stains and have wasted a ton of time trying with this product. Very disappointed.”
