How to Get Rid of Stains on Clothes

Whether it's ink, makeup, grass, blood, oil, red wine, tomato sauce, sweat, or any other type of stain, the most effective way to remove stains from clothes is to act quickly and use a high-quality stain remover like Vanish.

Read on to discover how to get rid of stains on clothes that your laundry detergent couldn't, ensuring they are ready to wear whenever you need them.

The sooner you act, the better your chances of completely removing the stain. Keep in mind that the longer a stain remains on the clothes, the harder it becomes to remove.

If the stain is wet or oily, gently blot it with a clean, white cloth or paper towel to remove the excess liquid. If there is excess greasy solid matter, scrape it off with a dull spoon or knife.

Regardless of the type of stain, resist the urge to rub it, as this can cause the stain to spread.

To remove stains from white clothes, use Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White Powder; for colored clothes, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder.
