The ultimate guide to stain removal for clothes
Dealing with stubborn stains on your family's clothes can be a never-ending battle
How to Remove Stains from Bags
Your – and your family’s – bags go through a lot. From being dumped on the floor after returning home from school, battered in bad weather on the way to sports practice or covered in make-up from a stray lipstick that’s missing a lid – there’s a myriad of reasons your favourite bag may need some extra attention.
Thankfully with Vanish, simply use Vanish Oxi Action Powder to help remove stains and unpleasant odours from polyester bags, like lunch bags and P.T. kits. Or for the best results, we recommend pre-treating the stain and then washing the bag as normal.

How to remove stains from school bags
If you think your handbag goes through a lot, you child’s school bag goes through a lot more. From potential yogurt explosions to muddy P.T. clothes; stains and nasty odours are bound to happen. Follow the steps below to get school backpacks and bags stain-free and smelling fresh with Vanish Oxi Action Powder:
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix 1/4 scoop of powder with 3/4 scoop of water (max 40°) into a paste and apply it directly onto the stain.
- Rub the paste in gently using the base of the scoop.
- Leave the paste on the stain for 5-minutes (max).
- Wash as usual with your detergent and add another scoop of Vanish.
- Important: Always read the label on the packaging. Check that your item is machine washable before you apply the stain remover.
Tips
Dust before you wash – Once you’ve emptied the bag, take the time to remove any crumbs, dust and dirt that can lie in at the bottom of your bag.
Scrap before you scrub – When getting rid of dried stains like mud or dirt, scrape as much off as you can using the side of a spoon, before you try to remove any stains.
