MamaSuds | Laundry Stain Stick IN THE CART • UNDER REVIEW One ingredient. That's it. MamaSuds Laundry Stain Stick is made entirely from saponified olive oil (sodium olivate). No complicated stain-fighting formula, added fragrance, dyes, or mystery ingredients. Just a solid olive oil soap designed to spot-treat stains on clothing, couches, and upholstery before washing. Why It's In Our Cart Stain removers are one of those products where ingredient lists can get complicated quickly, so this little stick immediately caught our attention. MamaSuds uses the same olive oil soap that forms the foundation of its liquid soap, converted into a concentrated solid bar. It's palm-free, coconut-free, SLS-free, dye-free, and phthalate-free. But a beautifully simple ingredient list only matters if the product actually works. We're putting this one up against the kind of stains that happen in real houses with real kids, food, pets, and laundry. Ingredients Sodium olivate (saponified olive oil) That's the whole list. How to Use Wet the stained fabric, rub the stick directly onto the stain, then wash as usual. Each stick weighs at least 1.3 ounces.
