With Vanish, removing egg stains from your favourite garments is simple. For optimal results, either pre-treat, or pop it in the wash with your regular detergent. For your coloured clothes, use Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Powder. Or, to remove those bright yellow stains on your white clothes, use Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White Powder.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Blot the affected area with an absorbent cloth or paper towel to soak up excess liquid.

  2. Spray the product onto the stain and leave for 5 mins (max).

  3. Blot away with a clean, absorbent cloth.

  4. Repeat as many times as necessary – for dried in coffee stains this may be necessary.


Tips

Clean ASAP – If you’ve accidentally dropped a carton of eggs on your carpets, or perhaps just spilled yolk on your shirt, try to remove the stain as soon as possible with a clean cloth. This will decrease the chances of the stain setting in.
Scrape it – If the egg has already dried, scrape as much as you can off with the side of a spoon (to avoid damaging your garment or carpet) before treating it with Vanish.
