How to Remove Masala Stains
It’s easy to remove masala stains with the help of Vanish. Pre-treat, soak or in wash to revive your clothes.
It’s no surprise how much Indians love masala. Masalas are renowned for being packed full of flavour, often with ingredients such as chilly powder, turmeric, tomato and oil – however, sadly, it’s these vibrant spices that can leave a lasting stain on your favourite clothes. But, don’t despair! With Vanish, masala stains can be a long-forgotten issue, as the powerful multi-benefit formula can tackle tough stains, brighten colours and remove odours – even in a cold wash (30°C)!
For the best results, we recommend a three-step process to remove your masala-stained items: pre-treat or soak and wash as usual. For coloured clothes and for your whites, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder. You’ll get unparalleled deep hygiene action*, which gives your washing a deep clean in-wash.

Removing masala stains with Vanish
With Vanish, masala stain removal has never been so easy, especially if you act fast when trying to remove the stain. If you’re dealing with coloured clothes, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder to pre-treat the stain by following these steps:

INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix 10g of powder with equal amount of water, stir for 30 seconds.

- Wash as usual with your normal detergent and add another scoop of Vanish.

Tips
Scrape away – If it’s a fresh stain, scrape as much masala residue as possible off your garment before you start to treat it.
Check before you dry – Always check the stain has vanished before you put it in the dryer. This avoids setting the stain, which decreases your chances of fully removing that brightly coloured stain!
