What are the Best Methods for Towel Stain Removal?

Towels can quickly become victims of everyday messes. Whether you’re using them in the kitchen, bathroom, or for outdoor activities, they come into contact with various stains. Oil, food, and soap can easily stain towels, especially when they’re not treated properly. Fresh stains are easier to handle, but even dried-in stains can be removed effectively.

The key to successful towel stain removal is addressing stains promptly and with the right solution. Thankfully, with the right methods, it’s easier than ever to restore your towels to their original state.

Don’t let stubborn stains stress you out! Here’s a comprehensive towel stain cleaning guide to help you restore your towels to their fresh, clean state: 

1. Pre-Treating Stains
   For the most effective towel stain removal, pre-treating your towels before washing is crucial: 

• Start by combining ¼ scoop of Vanish Oxi Action Powder with ¾ scoop of warm water (max 40°C) to create a paste. 
• Spread the paste on the stained area and let it rest for 5 minutes. 
• If necessary, gently rub the stain with the knobbly base of the scoop to lift the stain even further. 

After this, simply wash your towel as usual.

1. Soaking for Stubborn Stains
   For tough, dried-in stains, soaking is one of the most effective towel cleaning methods:

• Dissolve 1 scoop of Vanish Oxi Action Powder into 5 litres of warm water (max temperature 40°C) and soak your towel. 
• Soak coloured towels for up to 1 hour, and leave whites in the solution for up to 6 hours. 
• After soaking, wash the towels as usual, or for best results, rub the stained area before rinsing.

1. Washing Machine Method
   For everyday stains, just add half a scoop of Vanish Oxi Action Powder to your washing machine alongside your usual detergent. For more stubborn stains, use a full scoop. This method works wonders, even at 30°C, whether washing coloured or white towels.
