Shout Advanced Acting Gel, Laundry Stain Remover, 22 fl oz

One 22-fluid-ounce bottle of Shout Advanced Gel

Shout Advanced Gel comes as one 22-fluid-ounce, 650-milliliter trigger-spray bottle. This concentrated, thick laundry pretreatment is designed to help with stubborn set-in marks as well as everyday stains on colorfast washable fabrics. The trigger lets you target the affected area before washing with regular detergent. Check garment care and the complete bottle instructions before selecting clothing for treatment.

Saturate the stain and rub the gel into the fabric

Spray the gel over the stain until saturated, then activate the treatment by thoroughly rubbing it into the fabric. Wait five minutes for the gel to penetrate and wash according to the clothing-care label. Use regular detergent and the warmest water the fabric permits. The product works in standard and high-efficiency washers across water temperatures, subject to each garment's washing requirements.

Choose treatment timing according to the fabric and stain

For heavy-duty stains, the directions allow the gel to penetrate overnight before washing. The product also offers the flexibility to treat suitable items now and launder up to a week later. That option depends on the fabric: read the bottle's color restrictions before delaying a wash. Keep the current instructions with the bottle when planning several stained items for a later laundry load.

Give bright, khaki and fluorescent colors a short treatment

Do not pretreat bright, khaki or fluorescent colors for more than a few minutes before laundering. This limit is particularly useful when sorting items that otherwise look suitable for delayed washing. Check the clothing label and the complete product directions before application, and choose the waiting time for the actual fabric. The general wash-later option does not extend this specific color-treatment limit.

Review the thick gel’s cleaning and fragrance ingredients

The formula includes cleaning surfactants, an enzyme, polymer ingredients and fragrance among its disclosed components. The bottle states that it contains fragrance allergens and is made without bleach, phosphates, parabens or phthalates. Review the complete current ingredient statement for components you avoid when choosing laundry products, and select this trigger-spray gel by its format and directed stain-pretreatment method.

Target the stain and keep the handling instructions available

Stain examples include wine, blood, makeup, olive oil, butter, chocolate syrup and food grease. Some marks, including rust, bleach damage, paint, ink or dyes, may be impossible to remove. Check treated laundry after washing and follow garment care when assessing the result. Do not treat clothing while wearing it, and keep the product out of reach of children and pets.
