All of the Shout products are phosphate and bleach free. Even the containers are recyclable.
- Shout products contain surfactants and enzymes to help remove stains. Surfactants are substances that break up the stain and keep the stain particles from redepositing on the fabric.

Simply saturate the stain and wait one to five minutes before washing. Shout Advanced Gel was designed for stubborn stains, set-in stains and greasy stains. You can leave it on overnight before washing. Advanced Aerosol has foaming action and works best on grease or oil stains. Simply saturate the area and wait one to five minutes before washing.

The only product you can use on dry clean only garments is the Shout Wipes. Since some garments bleed color, you should always pretest the material to avoid lightening areas. Stubborn stains may take two applications to work. Avoid scrubbing the stain. Ultra Gel can be left on for a week but not on bright-colored clothes or khaki pants. On bright clothes or khaki pants, leave it on for just a few minutes. Always read the instructions on each one of the products as well as the washing instructions for the garments.
