Lunch Box Rescue: Say Goodbye to Stubborn Stains and Mould with The Cleaning Enzymes

Lunchboxes go on quite the adventure every school day. They’re packed with everything from sandwiches to carrot sticks to surprise treats. But by the time they come home, they can look (and smell) like they’ve survived a battleground—sticky spots, mystery smells, and yes, sometimes even… mould! Luckily, we’ve got a cleaning trick that feels like magic—except it’s all science!

Why Mould Grows in Lunchboxes (and How to Make It Disappear)

Lunchboxes tend to trap moisture and crumbs—making the perfect environment for mould. Ever noticed a few fuzzy patches or a whiff of something not-so-fresh? Mould loves warm, dark places, exactly where leftovers and spills can lurk. But with enzyme power, you’ve got this sorted!

How to Zap Mould and Odours Out of Your Lunchbox (It’s a Breeze!)

Here’s how to make your lunchbox as fresh as a daisy:

1. First, Give It a Rinse and Peek
   Rinse out any leftovers and check every corner—those sneaky spots are mould’s favourite hideouts! Rinsing helps loosen any clinging crumbs.

2. Spray with The Cleaning Enzymes
   Now for the fun bit! Spray The Cleaning Enzymes’ cleaner all over the inside of the lunchbox. These enzymes are like detectives—they’ll seek out and break down any mould and lingering odours.

3. Let the Enzymes Do Their Magic
   Take a breather. Leave the cleaner to work for 10–15 minutes. The enzymes are breaking down proteins, oils, and starches—leaving mould with nothing to feed on.

4. Give It a Good Scrub and Rinse
   Grab a sponge, give it a gentle scrub, and rinse with hot water. Mould? History. Odours? A thing of the past.

5. Dry It Thoroughly
   Mould needs moisture to thrive, so make sure the lunchbox dries completely. Try leaving it open overnight to make sure it’s ready for the next adventure.

Why Enzymes Are the Lunchbox Heroes You Never Knew You Needed

Traditional cleaners might mask a smell or scrub the surface, but enzymes dig deep to break down the real problem—even in those tricky spots. And here’s the best bit—they’re eco-friendly and gentle, making them safe for surfaces that come into contact with food.

Tips to Keep Lunchboxes Clean for Longer

• Weekly Enzyme Refresh: A quick enzyme clean once a week helps keep mould and odours at bay.
• Dry It Properly: Always let the lunchbox dry fully before storing it—mould doesn’t stand a chance without moisture!
