A versatile, oxygenated powder designed to take care of incredibly stubborn, heavily stained clothes. Soak first, then wash with Hudstone Regular or Delicate Washing Powder.
Our Laundry Soaker is a super effective stain remover and is also great for items like shoes, bed sheets and dirty work clothes. Sometimes it’s all you need to really lift stubborn stains. It can also be added as a wash booster - simply add a scoop to your machine along with our Regular Washing Powder for when you’ve got an extra dirty load (and can’t be bothered soaking!).
Liz's Laundry Tip: 'I highly recommend adding a scoop to your bed sheets when washing, then dry them in the sun. You’ll sleep like a baby on the cleanest sheets you’ve ever felt in your life!'

Here is a before and after of my very soiled tea towel.
I was very surprised to see how clean it came up.
I used my multi purpose spray on the heavy stains and threw them in the wash with 1 scoop of soaker and 1 scoop of regular powder.
Couldn't be happier with the results.
I have been using the Regular washing powder for many months and find my washing is very clean and the whites are much whiter. I am now using the soaker in the washing machine and soaking stains before washing.
The soaker is great and I often add a little to give my dirty loads an extra boost.
Its also great for soaking my grandkids socks and t shirts and gives great results every time.
I absolutely love the Hudstone soaker! I use it on my white bed linens and white T shirts and it brings them out pristine every time. Not that off white colour. I don't usually even need to soak them, I just add it to the washing machine on a long wash and works fantastic. A little goes a long way too.
Absolutely love this soaker .. second purchase and will continue to purchase.. so good for when I soak in my roasting dishes and pans and also leaves my clothes fresh and clean.
Wow! No scrubbing required on these white jeans. These are my boys horse riding competition jeans. White and boys just shouldn’t go together but they have to wear them for competitions 🤦🏻♀️.
The boys rode all day in these, including riding bareback and then played footy with their mates (hence the grass stains).
I soaked them with the Hudstone soaker for approx 24hrs and then washed them with the regular Hudstone wash plus a scoop of the soaker, then onto the line in the sun. No scrubbing required! Happy Mumma here!
This stuff is an absolute miracle worker! Every stain I have thrown at it (dirt, grease, food stains) it has lifted with ease and the items come back looking fresher and cleaner then ever! The best
My son’s favourite pastime is digging holes. Your soaker is the best for getting his clothes from brown to white.
It’s also really good for getting rid of the yellow discolouration older white clothes get.
Add to that it’s Australian owned and made 😍
Thank you
Hey, this soaker is awesome .. I’d recommend it to everyone.. linen and clothing I thought I’d throw away I’m now using again .. haven’t tried the washing powder but will order some soon.
I just place 2 scoops of the Hudstone soaker in the bottom of my front loader when washing bed linen (particularly white sheets and pillow cases). It brings out a crisper version of my overly used sheets! I run an Airbnb and have to wash often! This is a save time trick!! Hudstone’s soaker is also good for actual soaking 😆 I use it before each term to soak the white socks and school shirts to bring them back to life!
Loving the washing powder, soaker and dishwasher powders. Also use the All Purpose concentrate on all surfaces, including natural stones with excellent results. Cost effective, great results and awesome customer service. Love supporting family run businesses, especially when the products and service are this good.
The before and after on my lounge is seriously insane.. I was really worried trying a new product that my lounge covers would not go back on .. but they did and my lounge looks as good as brand new. So incredibly happy. Thanks ☺️
Really happy with this product!
My partner isn’t always keen on products that are cleaner and safer so I hide it in a Vanish container and he doesn’t know the difference!
This gets stains out so well!! I will definitely buy again.
It would be great if they brought out a stain remover spray :)
This product is simply amazing. It really performs better than anything else I have ever used. Not just as a pre-soaker, but as an all round the house cleaner. Super economical, we are on rainwater so I use half doses, which work wonders, so it truly out lasts any other products in it category. It's safe for the septic system, gentle on environment and hands, I won't be using anything else ever again. Thank you Hudstone Team for your amazing Australian products and brilliant service.
Best wishes

I was apprehensive about buying the pre soaker as I’ve never had much luck with stain removers in the past. So glad I gave it a go! Total game changer. And the timing - my baby has just started solids. Here is a picture of avocado stained sleeves which I accidentally left for 12 hours before treatment! I am beyond impressed ☺️
My kids schools shirts and come home with some nasty stains. Soak overnight in the pre soaker and they always wash up perfect. The colour of the water says it all!! (have now got my mum friends onto it and my family)
You wouldn’t know it, but this was victim to a huge poo explosion from my 3 month old. Hudstone soak is my holy grail secret weapon for all baby related stains, and it works perfectly in cold water. Thank you for making such a brilliant product!!!
Better than any pre soaker I have ever used. I also bought this for my family with a new baby and they are absolutely hooked on it and now buy it for themselves.
All the sweat stains in my king sized bed protector gone! Any stains gone! It is the most amazing product that I will never, ever do without again. The best part is it is made in Australia without the fillers and stuff that make other similar products so expensive and less efficient. Try it! You won’t be disappointed. I guarantee it.
Use the pre soaker for my husband's work clothes that are dirty from garden maintenance. Soaked overnight & washed with regular washing powder. Do have an issue of fully removing the sunscreen stain on collar - waiting for the video upload on this.
I live in BALI & I have had troubles with the water staining clothes, in particular white clothes which kept going yellow or stains not coming out. My friend in the Northern Territory recommended this product & company, which resulted in an order, & very quick delivery to my sons home in Melbourne, & me brining it to Bail. All I can say is OMG this product is amazing. I have issued it, my whites are brilliant with all stains being removed. I’m hooked & highly recommend this to all my friends now & bonus is it’s an amazing Aussie product.
Loving all the products, particularly the pre soaker! Best I have found to use on my daughters white competition jodhpurs! After a day in the saddle they can be very dirty and this brings them back to life! Well done Hudstone 😍
This company’s products are brilliant. The PRE SOAKER cleans perfectly every time. We’ve certainly put it to the test too, living on red soil with children playing rugby and soccer in white shorts and socks! I not ever considered returning to the expensive, well known supermarket branded version. Quite the contrary - I’m a convert. And with blood, water and a sprinkle, and it’s gone even without agitation! One year using Hudstone already, with many more to come!
My Hudstone Presoaker and All Purpose in particular have made laundry and cleaning a much more streamlined process, eliminating the need for additional soaker, stain remover, general purpose cleaner and floor detergent products.
With 3 adults and 5 kids at home, it has simplified things for us a great deal and reduced the number of products we need to buy. We keep an All Purpose spray in every bathroom and in the kicthen and laundry so they're always on hand for quick clean ups or treating stains.
I've been using Hudstone for around 3 years now and will continue to do so :)
Thanks for a great product, Hudstone!
