Clean and dry the scoop before placing back into the tub.
After pre-treatment, wash as usual.
For stains that stick around, give them an additional soak for maximum results. Simply add a scoop of Vanish powder into 4L of warm or cold water (max 40°), and then leave it to soak for 1 hour (max) for colours and 6 hours (max) for whites. After, just wash the garment as usual with detergent and an additional scoop of Vanish for good measure.
Important: Always read the label on the product packaging and the garment before use. If you’re unsure, test on a small, inconspicuous area.
Tips
Don’t let it dry: If your items were stained as a result of the washing machine, don’t let the garment dry. It sets the stain and makes it even harder to remove the second time around.
