How to wash whites
It can be glaringly obvious that your ‘white’ clothes have turned grey when they’re matched up to a new item. Although it can be frustrating to see them fade, there’s no need to bin your item when it’s past its best. Oxi Action Crystal White Powder will restore it to its former glory in no time. Simply follow these simple instructions on how to soak whites:
RECOMMENDED
INSTRUCTIONS
Add 1x scoop of Vanish powder into 4L of warm or cold water (max 40°)
Soak the item for up to 6 hours (max) for whites
Add another scoop of Vanish powder and wash as usual with your regular detergent
Important: You’ll get best results when you wash whites and colours separately, but always read the label on the packaging before use.

How to wash clothes without bleach
To keep your white shirts white, your sheets pristine or other items of clothing looking their best, it’s best to avoid bleach when washing. Chlorine bleach can interact with heat, causing your items to turn yellow and dull, so always stick to chlorine bleach free products that are specifically designed for white items – like Vanish!
Simply follow the instructions above to keep white sheets white without bleach, as well as any other greyed items that you want to bring back to life.

Tips
'It might be easier to wash whites and colours together, but don’t be fooled – colours can run and ruin your whites. Washing whites on their own will save you time in the long run, especially with Vanish, which keeps them looking whiter for longer.
