How to Remove Stains from Linen
Linen doesn’t have to be hard to care for, treat stains immediately with the power of Vanish.
Compared to cotton, linen is a heavier and stronger material, making it a common choice for bedding, tablecloths, and napkins. Because of this, your linen items can go through a lot – from protecting your table at big family dinners to keeping you warm at night. Vanish can help you keep your linen stain-free so you can love it for longer.
Even though linen is a super absorbent material, we recommend a three-step process with either the Vanish Laundry Booster Powder or Vanish Laundry Booster Gel. The powerful Oxi Action formula banishes stains, brightens colours and removes odours in just one wash. Plus, when you wash your clothes with Vanish, the deep hygiene action* gives your linens a deep clean. All you have to do is either pre-treat, soak or use in-wash to get the optimum results.
