Root & Splendor Foaming Stain Remover
100% Plant-Based | Enzymatic | EWG Verified | Non-Toxic | Safe for All Fabrics
Most stain removers work by throwing harsh chemicals at the problem — bleaches, synthetic solvents, petroleum-derived surfactants that strip stains out of fabric while quietly depositing chemical residue onto the clothing that touches your skin every single day.
Root & Splendor takes a completely different approach. This is a bioactive, enzymatic stain remover powered entirely by plant-derived ingredients — the kind of formula a chemist would make for their own family, which is exactly how it was created.
Root & Splendor was founded by a mom of four boys who, alongside chemists and scientists, developed a line of laundry products that deliver genuinely powerful, professional-grade results without a single toxic ingredient. The stain remover became their best-selling product because it does exactly what it promises — and nothing harmful beyond that.
EWG Verified — What That Actually Means:
Root & Splendor Foaming Stain Remover carries the EWG Verified® mark — one of the most stringent health and safety certifications available for cleaning products in the United States. EWG Verified means:
* Every ingredient meets EWG's strictest standards for human health and safety
* Zero ingredients from EWG's "Unacceptable" list
* Full ingredient transparency — including fragrance disclosure
* Each ingredient has been reviewed by EWG scientists and used at concentrations below EWG's health and safety limits
* Third-party lab tested and verified — not self-certified
This is not a marketing claim. It is an independently verified, science-backed certification.
How the Enzymatic Formula Works:
Unlike bleach or solvent-based stain removers that chemically break down fabric along with the stain, Root & Splendor uses a proprietary blend of five plant-derived enzymes — each one targeting a specific category of stain at the molecular level:
* Protease — breaks down protein-based stains: blood, sweat, grass, egg, dairy
* Pectate Lyase — targets pectin-based stains: fruit, wine, juice, berries
* Mannanase — dissolves gum-based stains: chocolate, coffee, ice cream
* Cellulase — lifts and brightens cotton fibers, removing embedded dirt and clay
* Alpha Amylase — attacks starch-based stains: pasta, potatoes, gravy, sauces
Together these five enzymes cover virtually every category of stain — protein, fat, starch, tannin, dye, dirt, oil, blood, grass, mud, wine, coffee, sweat and more — working together as a coordinated biological cleaning system rather than a single brute-force chemical.
Three plant-derived surfactants — Vegetable Glycerin, Coco Glucoside, and Potassium Cocoate — lift and carry the loosened stain particles away from fabric fibers, leaving nothing behind but clean fabric.
What It Removes:
*Grass & mud
*Blood
*Wine & red juice
*Coffee & tea
*Sweat & body oils
*Chocolate & ice cream
*Grease & cooking oils
*Tomato & pasta sauce
*Berries & fruit
*Tannins & dyes
*Dirt & clay
*And virtually any other organic stain
Safe For:
*All fabric types including delicates
*Carpets and upholstery
*Children's clothing — safe for baby skin
*Sensitive skin and allergy-prone individuals
*All washing machine types
*Septic systems and greywater
*Waterways and the environment
How to Use:
Spray directly onto the stained area
For most stains — wash immediately as normal
For tough or set-in stains — gently rub the foam into the fabric and let sit for up to 30 minutes before washing
Wash as usual — hot or cold water both work
* Pro Tip: Combine with Root & Splendor Laundry Concentrate for the best overall laundry experience. The two products are specifically formulated to work together for advanced stain removal and deep cleaning results.
* Foam matters: Because this product is highly concentrated, the foaming spray bottle format is strongly recommended — it controls dosage, ensures even application, and maximizes coverage per bottle.
Storage: Keep at room temperature. Keep out of reach of children. If product gets into eyes, flush thoroughly with water. If swallowed, drink plenty of water.
