Can Vanish Be Used on Coloured Clothes?
Whether it’s a Hawaiian shirt, a plaid skirt or your favourite yellow T-shirt, incorporating colours into your wardrobe can be fun in any season. However, the colour on your clothes can fade and grow dull after multiple wears and washes. Fortunately, Vanish brightens your coloured clothes while removing stains and odours, all thanks to its powerful Oxi Action formula. You’ll also get deep hygiene action*, which gives your washing a deep clean in-wash.
For the best results when washing colours, you can either pre-treat or soak, and then wash with either Vanish Laundry Booster Gel or Vanish Laundry Booster Powder.

How to prevent colour run

There is nothing more frustrating than pulling your clothes out of the machine and realising that the dyes have run, or your brightly coloured clothes are now a new shade of dull. That’s why it’s important to separate your white and coloured clothes to help reduce the risk of colours running and items fading. Yes, it might mean an extra load or two, but it’ll save you grief in the long run.
To help prevent colour run in new clothes, always add a scoop or dose of Vanish to your wash and simply follow the steps above to get items looking as close to new as possible. The Vanish Oxi Action formula not only removes stains and odours, but also helps to prevent colour run and brighten faded coloured clothes – even in a cold wash (20°C).

Tips

Live by the label: The label is a handy cheat-sheet sewn into your clothes that will tell you exactly how to care for them. Don’t risk it – if the label says that your coloured item can only be dry cleaned, take it to a professional cleaner.
Air-dry: The heat from your tumble dryer can damage the colour pigmentation in your clothes more than you would expect. Opt for the natural way, and leave your washing to air dry to help preserve your items.
