How to Brighten and Clean without Bleach

When it comes to keeping our clothes clean and bright over time, we can often struggle to find a good balance between washing regularly while not letting them fade. Some of the things that cause fading include washing your clothes at too high a temperature, as well as washing whites and coloureds together or even with bleach in the hope to remove stains. Luckily, with Vanish, achieving cleaner clothes that are 100% stain-free is possible without causing any fading. Plus our amazing Oxi Action formula works brilliantly in a cold or warm wash.
