9. What type of stains can Vanish® remove?

Vanish® can remove up to 100 types of stains including some of the toughest stains such as ink and greasy food stains.

  • Bleachable Stains – Stains with strong colours such as coffee, tea, wine or fruit juices. They generally come from fruit, vegetables and plant-based sources. To be removed, they need cleaning ingredients that are strong oxidants to decolorise stains. Vanish® products have Active Oxygen for superior stain removal – which detergents do not have.
  • Greasy Stains – Oil-Based Stains such as cooking oil and fats, body oils, cosmetics, and motor oil. To remove this, you need cleaning ingredients that dissolve oil in water. Vanish® products contain surfactants to remove oil-based stains effectively.
  • Enzymatic Stains – These stains are generally from more complex molecules (protein and carbohydrates). Some examples include blood, egg, milk, grass, and chocolate. To remove enzymatic stains, you need cleaning ingredients that break the large molecules into smaller components. Vanish® Powder contains enzymes to break down these enzymatic stains to remove them.

10. Can I replace my detergent with Vanish®?

No. You will need to continue using your usual detergent. Vanish® products have been formulated for use alongside your detergent, not to replace it.

11. Can I get stains out of wool or silk by using Vanish®?

Vanish® Liquid range can be used on both wool and silk. Do not use Vanish® on leather. Always follow the washing instructions on your garments. For detailed information please see our dedicated product pages.

12. Why should I add Vanish® + detergent in every wash?

Most detergents contain only surfactants & enzymes, leaving behind the toughest and most coloured stains, the bleachable ones. 

Adding Vanish®, a laundry booster, to your wash makes up where the detergent fails at removing the toughest of stains. And Vanish® has loads of other benefits on top of stain removal to prolong the life of your clothes such as colour care, whitening, removing germs, and removing odours.

13. Can I use bleach with Vanish®?

We do not recommend using bleach with Vanish® products. Bleach is harsh on clothes. Bleach yellows your whites, damages the colour and the fabrics, making them more susceptible to tearing.

Using Vanish® Pink on white clothes will not have adverse effects, but the white clothes will not be whitened compared to if you use Vanish® White.

Using Vanish® White on coloured clothes will not have adverse effects, but the coloured clothes will not be brightened and protected compared to if you use Vanish® Pink.

It is perfectly safe to use Vanish® on your clothes without fading colours. If however you have any doubts about using Vanish® on any of your garments always test a small area first.
