Removes set-in stains from your carpets, rugs and sofas.
How to Remove Wine Stains
Red wine stains are particularly unforgiving, but they can be removed with the help of Vanish. Lift stains from carpets and clothes in no time.
Many of us enjoy a glass of wine with a meal, while entertaining friends or snuggled up on the sofa. But white, rosé and particularly red wines cause noticeable stains on nearly all fabrics. Don’t panic –Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Powder attacks anthocyanins (the colourants in wine grapes) directly. Not only does the Oxi Action formula lift stains, it also keeps colours bright and removes odours in one wash.
Know your stains: What are anthocyanins?
Aside from the flavour notes, the main difference between red, white and rosé wine is the colour. White wine is traditionally clear and not such a problem when it comes to accidental spills. However, the pink and purple hues in reds and rosés are created by stain-causing anthocyanins, a type of plant pigment and antioxidant. It’s these tricky little particles that can make red wine stains such a nightmare to remove!
How to remove red wine stains from a carpet

If you’re removing wine stains from fabric that has dried, don’t panic – move straight to the next step.

How to remove other wine stains from clothes
While white and rosé wine are more discreet, all wines contain tannins so the potential to stain is still great. To remove white wine stains from clothes, turn your fabric inside out and rinse the back of the stain with cold water before following the instructions as per red wine. Due to the colourful tint in rosé, you need to treat this the same way you would a red wine stain.
Wine on your clothes, carpet or other fabric is never good news. But wine stains – whether you prefer a red, white or rosé – can all be managed with Vanish, specially formulated to work on the anthocyanins in wine. So put your feet up, unwind and sip away, without a worry in the world…
