Tips on how to get shirts white
Avoid bleach. Bleaching clothing with chlorine bleach is bad news for white garments. When combined with iron and hot water, it can turn clothing yellow, so stick to products specifically designed for white garments. Vanish doesn’t contain chlorine bleach so it’s safe to use on whites.
Wash with Vanish. Vanish products have been specifically designed to help keep your clothes bright and white without chlorine bleach, so be sure to add a dose to every wash to keep your whites sparkling.
General advice
- Please refer to the packaging for specific product usage and advice.
- KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS. Store the product only in the original container and always fasten the lid.
- Do not expose product to direct sunlight.
- Before use check if colours may bleed by testing a hidden area of the fabric.
- For best results it may be necessary to repeat parts of the process.
