How to remove stains from fabric with Vanish
Vanish fabric cleaners are designed for the everyday as well as tough-to-treat stains, but to increase your chances of success at full stain removal, knowing how to tackle them correctly is invaluable. There are three ways you can use Vanish to remove stains:
Pre-treat:
For stains on silk and woollen items, follow these steps:
- Pour 2ml of Vanish liquid directly onto the stain and gently rub.
