Vanish Oxi Action Fabric Stain Remover Powder

A really useful product for dealing with stubborn stains on coloured clothes. It works well when added to the wash or used as a pre-soak and helps lift marks that normal detergent sometimes struggles with. I’ve found it a good addition to regular laundry and it helps keep clothes looking fresh. Overall a reliable stain remover that does exactly what it’s meant to do.

Great value, quality condition, appearance as described. Fast delivery.

I recently tried the Vanish Oxi Action Stain Remover Powder for Clothes, and I must admit, I was left disappointed with its performance. Despite its claims of being a powerful stain remover, my experience with this product was underwhelming. One of the main issues I encountered with the Vanish Oxi Action powder is its effectiveness on tough stains. Despite following the instructions carefully and treating stains promptly, I found that many stains remained stubborn and failed to lift even after repeated treatments with this product. This left my clothes looking less than pristine and necessitated additional washing cycles to remove the stains completely. Furthermore, I was disappointed by the lack of versatility of this stain remover. While it may work adequately on some types of stains, it proved less effective on others, particularly oil-based stains and ground-in dirt. Overall, while the Vanish Oxi Action Stain Remover Powder may work for some minor stains, it falls short of delivering the powerful stain-removing action it promises. For tougher stains and more versatile performance, I would recommend exploring alternative stain remover options.

For me, this is the best quality stain remover there is. Removes just about everything without damaging the colour of the clothes. It doesn't even smell bad. Lasts long and it is of great value for money.

It does remove the stains quite well

Great stuff to use when laundering and you need something to remove a stain - whilst it depends on what the stain is, I found it helps to clear most. It is versatile; great value for money. I would recommend you buy some and find out for yourself just what it can do. Thank you

Vanish Oxi Action Powder 1 Kg When I worked in the consumer products industry on detergents back in the late 1970's, washing powders were made by spray drying and consisted of detergents, optical whiteners and other agents. The stain removing additives were limited by the temperatures of the production process and were typically used in washing machines at 60-100C. All cleaning comes from chemical activity ( roll up of fats and trapping in detergent structures- micelles) , temperature ( softening of fats) and mechanical action ( shaking of solids and rolled up fats) . Optical brighteners hid yellowing by fluorescing blue in light ( UV) . There were oxygen bleaches which were activated by the heat of the wash . As wash temperatures decreased , various new oxygen bleaches were tried for stains but either were unstable in manufacture or storage or overactive in use .The customer only wanted a single product to use. Stain removal was limited to using pastes of original powders , special solvents , or ( in the 1980's) cold water soap bar ( Vanish). Fast forward 35 years - washing powders have been replaced by tablets and liquids and operating temperatures are down to 30-40C .Volumes of washing water have been drastically reduced in an ecological drive. Hard water softening polyphosphates have been banned ( or severely limited.) Stain removal and detergency had become more fraught. Detergents were re designed to work at low temperatures but could not manage all severe stains.. Enter a prespotter / additive as powder/ granules - , a preblend of detergents and a concentrated safe(r) oxidizing bleach ( a stabilised form of hydrogen peroxide) which reacts directly in cold water to give active oxygen and can operate as low as 30C and can be selectively applied giving concentrated action or can be added to the main wash. Enzymes and zeolite ( non phosphate calcium ion complexing agents) are also cited in the ingredients .The original problems of stability on storage are overcome..The iridescent pink tub which also comes with its own pink dosing scoop calibrated , shaped , which doubles as a non abrasive rubbing unit , to work the material into the fabric as a paste in pre spotter mode prior to washing. Does it work? YES but , like with all chemicals , care is needed and there is a list of items where the material is NOT to be used . There are three main usages - wash , soak , pretreat - for which excellent details are given on the container. Unlike chlorine bleaches ( which attack all stains and colourings on fabrics) the latest oxidative bleaches are more selective but may still damage sensitive fabrics if used carelessly. To avoid possible irritation avoid skin contact (Wear gloves) In a clever marketing ploy Benckieser invites customers to report their experiences and new uses for the product. These are worth checking out on their website.www.vanish.co.uk . Note added 11/6/2014 There have been several further developments of the VANISH powder additive range including a "super white" and a gold version Based on independent testing ( "Er indoors" the wife) use the "Super white" for whites and stick with the pink for delicates and coloureds - still recommended and buying from Amazon - 60% cheaper than Supermarkets in our experience Recommended! NOTE added 11/9/2014 - still well pleased with both the Pink and the White variants . All products were tested in a Miele washing machine - on lower wash temperatures ( 30-50C). We find the Miele is very good anyway but the vanish powders gives that extra Oomph for the really stubborn stains

Good old Vanish doing exactly what it says it would do - effective, and smells good. Easy to use, just follow the instructions. Good value for money. Recommended!

Nice

Product was different to the one shown in the picture. Product was a bottle of Fairy Liquid.

Great product

Really works on stained clothing. Great value for money.

I love this stain remover. I use both the powder and the spray version, and they both work amazing. The powder is great for adding to a load or soaking clothes, especially for tougher or set-in stains. The spray is perfect for quick spot treatment and has saved so many items I thought were ruined. It’s color safe, which I really appreciate because I don’t have to worry about fading my clothes, and it works even on stubborn stains that regular detergent won’t touch. Overall, this is one of those products I always keep on hand. It actually does what it says and makes laundry so much easier.
