Vanish Oxi Action Fabric Stain Remover Powder

Gets baby poo out of clothes. Keeps whites looking fresh after heavy staining.

A really useful product for dealing with stubborn stains on coloured clothes. It works well when added to the wash or used as a pre-soak and helps lift marks that normal detergent sometimes struggles with. I’ve found it a good addition to regular laundry and it helps keep clothes looking fresh. Overall a reliable stain remover that does exactly what it’s meant to do.

anish Oxi Action Colour Safe Satin Remove delivers excellent stain removal while keeping colours vibrant and fabrics soft. It’s gentle enough for coloured clothes, yet tough on tough stains. A reliable product offering great value for money and impressive cleaning performance.

For me, this is the best quality stain remover there is. Removes just about everything without damaging the colour of the clothes. It doesn't even smell bad. Lasts long and it is of great value for money.

It does remove the stains quite well

Great value, quality condition, appearance as described. Fast delivery.

I have been using Vanish for years and it never disappoints. Gets all kinds of stains out - blood, poop, grass, tea, tomato sauce, mechanical grease, etc - very easily, and even brightens most whites that have started to go grey. (However, I recommend using Vanish regularly with your white was BEFORE they start to discolour.) Doesn't need much, I put maybe half a scoop per load unless it's a particularly large load. Side note: I used to have trouble with washing bedding coming out greasy (due to all the sweat, body oils, and skin that goes into sheets etc), but Vanish helps get rid of that. I recommend combining it with Distinctive washing powder. You can also use Vanish as a stain remover on other products, for example your plastic food containers. It won't completely remove red/yellow stains from tomato or curry sauce, but it does a great job breaking down almost all other food oils, and at the very least a good soak in some boiling water and Vanish will get rid of most smells and you'll feel confident in the sterilisation. I prefer Vanish to Napisan.

Vanish Oxi Action Powder 1 Kg When I worked in the consumer products industry on detergents back in the late 1970's, washing powders were made by spray drying and consisted of detergents, optical whiteners and other agents. The stain removing additives were limited by the temperatures of the production process and were typically used in washing machines at 60-100C. All cleaning comes from chemical activity ( roll up of fats and trapping in detergent structures- micelles) , temperature ( softening of fats) and mechanical action ( shaking of solids and rolled up fats) . Optical brighteners hid yellowing by fluorescing blue in light ( UV) . There were oxygen bleaches which were activated by the heat of the wash . As wash temperatures decreased , various new oxygen bleaches were tried for stains but either were unstable in manufacture or storage or overactive in use .The customer only wanted a single product to use. Stain removal was limited to using pastes of original powders , special solvents , or ( in the 1980's) cold water soap bar ( Vanish). Fast forward 35 years - washing powders have been replaced by tablets and liquids and operating temperatures are down to 30-40C .Volumes of washing water have been drastically reduced in an ecological drive. Hard water softening polyphosphates have been banned ( or severely limited.) Stain removal and detergency had become more fraught. Detergents were re designed to work at low temperatures but could not manage all severe stains.. Enter a prespotter / additive as powder/ granules - , a preblend of detergents and a concentrated safe(r) oxidizing bleach ( a stabilised form of hydrogen peroxide) which reacts directly in cold water to give active oxygen and can operate as low as 30C and can be selectively applied giving concentrated action or can be added to the main wash. Enzymes and zeolite ( non phosphate calcium ion complexing agents) are also cited in the ingredients .The original problems of stability on storage are overcome..The iridescent pink tub which also comes with its own pink dosing scoop calibrated , shaped , which doubles as a non abrasive rubbing unit , to work the material into the fabric as a paste in pre spotter mode prior to washing. Does it work? YES but , like with all chemicals , care is needed and there is a list of items where the material is NOT to be used . There are three main usages - wash , soak , pretreat - for which excellent details are given on the container. Unlike chlorine bleaches ( which attack all stains and colourings on fabrics) the latest oxidative bleaches are more selective but may still damage sensitive fabrics if used carelessly. To avoid possible irritation avoid skin contact (Wear gloves) In a clever marketing ploy Benckieser invites customers to report their experiences and new uses for the product. These are worth checking out on their website.www.vanish.co.uk . Note added 11/6/2014 There have been several further developments of the VANISH powder additive range including a "super white" and a gold version Based on independent testing ( "Er indoors" the wife) use the "Super white" for whites and stick with the pink for delicates and coloureds - still recommended and buying from Amazon - 60% cheaper than Supermarkets in our experience Recommended! NOTE added 11/9/2014 - still well pleased with both the Pink and the White variants . All products were tested in a Miele washing machine - on lower wash temperatures ( 30-50C). We find the Miele is very good anyway but the vanish powders gives that extra Oomph for the really stubborn stains

Nice

Product was different to the one shown in the picture. Product was a bottle of Fairy Liquid.

Great product

Really works on stained clothing. Great value for money.

I love this stain remover. I use both the powder and the spray version, and they both work amazing. The powder is great for adding to a load or soaking clothes, especially for tougher or set-in stains. The spray is perfect for quick spot treatment and has saved so many items I thought were ruined. It’s color safe, which I really appreciate because I don’t have to worry about fading my clothes, and it works even on stubborn stains that regular detergent won’t touch. Overall, this is one of those products I always keep on hand. It actually does what it says and makes laundry so much easier.
