How to Remove Stains from Linen

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.
