Erasing Colour Stains from Clothes: Your Ultimate Guide

Colour stains on clothes are inevitable, but they don’t have to be a reason to panic. Whether it’s food, ink, or dye transfers, stains are a common problem. What matters is how quickly you act and the right products you use to tackle them. With the right approach, even the toughest colour stains can be removed, restoring your clothes to their former glory. 

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to remove colour stains from clothes efficiently with our powerful and effective solution. This will help you keep your wardrobe as fresh and vibrant as the day you bought it.

To tackle a colour stain, it's important first to understand what kind of stain you're dealing with. Fresh stains, such as juice, coffee, or wine, are typically easier to treat than older, more set-in stains. The quicker you act, the more effective your stain-removal efforts will be.

Quick Tip: Always check the garment's fabric care label before proceeding with any stain removal treatments.

Pre-treatment ensures the stain is broken down before washing, which is especially helpful for stains due to food, beverages, or even accidental dye transfers.

• Mix the Solution: To pre-treat, mix ½ scoop of Vanish Oxi Action Powder with ¾ scoop of water (roughly 1 Scoop = 60 gm powder). This simple solution helps tackle everyday stains on various fabrics.

• Apply to the Stained Area: Gently rub the paste into the stained area, making sure it’s fully covered.

• Wait a Few Minutes: Let the solution work on the stain for 5-10 minutes to dissolve it efficiently.

• Wash as Usual: Finally, wash the garment as you normally would.

Soaking can be a game-changer for older, tougher stains. This method allows Vanish Oxi Action Powder to penetrate the fabric deeply, working on stains that have set in over time.

• Prepare the Soak: Add 1 scoop of Vanish Oxi Action Powder to 5 litres of warm water. Make sure the water is not too warm to avoid damage.

• Soak the Garment: Fully submerge the stained garment in the solution. Let it soak for up to 6 hours to ensure the stain is broken down effectively.

• Wash and Rinse: After soaking, wash the garment with detergent as usual. 

Using Vanish Oxi Action Powder, you can easily remove colour marks from clothes, whether they’re light or tough stains.

• Dissolve the Powder: For regular stains, dissolve ½ scoop of the powder in 5 litres of warm water. For stubborn stains, use a full scoop.

• Transfer to the Washing Machine: Pour the solution into the washing machine with the detergent. Then, proceed with your usual wash cycle.

• Enjoy the Results: Once your laundry is done, you’ll notice your clothes are fresh, clean, and free from stains.

Ensure you try the product on a small, hidden section of the fabric to check for any adverse effects. Here’s a general guideline:

• Cotton or Other Fabrics: For cotton or similar fabrics, follow the standard steps and ensure thorough rinsing for the best results.

• Embellishments: If your dress has embellishments, such as sequins or beads, avoid direct application on those areas. Instead, focus on the stained parts of the fabric.

Knowing how to remove the colour from dress fabrics carefully ensures that your special garments remain in great condition.

Some stains can be persistent, especially older marks or stains that have set in. Don't be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t completely remove the stain. Simply repeat the pre-treatment, soaking, or washing process for even better results. Vanish Oxi Action Powder’s powerful formula works best when given more time to work on tough stains.

To prevent future stains, follow these tips:

• Sort Laundry by Colour: Sorting your laundry into whites and colours prevents colour transfer during washing.

• Act Quickly: The quicker you act, the easier it will be to remove the stain. Always treat fresh stains as soon as possible.

• Incorporate Vanish into Your Routine: To prevent stains, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder in every wash. This will keep your clothes looking new for longer.

Vanish Oxi Action Powder is designed to be a powerful, all-purpose solution for removing stubborn stains. Here are just a few reasons why it’s the go-to product for tackling tough colour stains:

• Fast and Effective: Compared to other products, Vanish provides better results with regular use.
