How to make white clothes last longer
Brand new white clothes look and feel amazing. However, without the proper care they don’t stay that way for long. But there is a solution to this greying problem – just use Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White Powder to bring back the brilliance. The formula tackles stains and gives an added whitening boost to restore white clothes to their former glory. Simply pre-treat with the powder or to make your whites really shine, just give them a soak following these steps:
RECOMMENDED
Instructions - Powder:
Mix ¼ scoop of powder with ¾ of water (max 40°) to form a paste or add 2ml of gel directly onto the stain
Gently rub the formula in using the scoop or cap and leave for a maximum of 10 minutes
Wash as usual with your regular detergent and add another scoop of Vanish
For stubborn stains, give them an additional soak for maximum results. Simply add a scoop of Vanish powder or 60ml dose of gel into 4L of warm or cold water (max 40°), and then leave it to soak for 1 hour (max) for colours and 6 hours (max) for whites. After, just wash as usual with an extra dose of Vanish in the washing machine.
Important: Always read the label on the packaging before use.
Avoid bleach
You may think that bleaching your whites will bring back their bright white look. However, it can actually turn your favourite garments yellow. Vanish products don’t contain chlorine-bleach, which is why your whites stay bright white after the wash.
How to prolong the life of coloured clothing
Caring for your coloured clothes is just as easy as washing your whites. You can follow the instructions above – simply swap to Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Gel or Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Powder instead.
Tips
Treat stains fast: The faster you can treat your stain with Vanish, the better your chance of saving and extending the life of your clothing.
Choose to air-dry: Heat causes damage to your clothing and can put items at risk of shrinking. Choose the eco-friendly option and hang your clothes out to dry to avoid this happening.
