Patching, Repairing and more - rewear hacks for old clothes

It’s easy to think that stains and odours make your clothes un-wearable, but the super-boosted formula in our Oxi Action Multi Power Gel for colours and Oxi Action Crystal White Gel for whites helps your clothes live longer. It breathes new life into your favourite garments by removing stains, eliminating odours and keeping colours bright. As well as working wonders on everyday fabrics, such as cotton and polyester, our Oxi Action Gels are also safe to use on delicates, like wool and silk.

There comes a time when an item of clothing is so well loved it can’t stand up to being worn in the same way any more, regardless of how well you’ve been removing stains, reviving colours, and mending clothes with patches. At this point, garment repair can take the form of garment upcycling. Repurpose old clothes into something new, such as a:
- Coin purse
- Tote bag

- Patchwork quilt (an ideal new life for baby clothes)
- Draught excluder (re-using those laddered tights)
- Denim shorts (mending jeans through shortening the legs)
- Shirt dress (repurposing old shirts)

Colours Wash

Extending garment longevity is the purpose of Vanish. These days garment consumption can be very fast, a study claims that garments could be disposed after only 10 wears (“Global Fashion Agenda and Boston Consulting Group, Pulse of the fashion industry” 2018, p. 59).
Our aim is to demonstrate the advantage of using Vanish laundry booster on top of laundry detergent to ensure more effective stain removal at low temperature while maintaining garment colour and condition for longer.
How to help double the life of your clothes with Vanish: Use Vanish Pink powder + Laundry detergent (wash cycle at 30°C)
You will see more favourable results than using laundry detergent alone (wash cycle at 40°C).
With Vanish, stain removal results are visible after 1 wash and garment condition is maintained after multiple washes.
The longevity claim ‘doubles the life of your clothes’ is based on the comparison of garment care results of Vanish pink powder + laundry liquid detergent after 20 washes vs. laundry liquid detergent after 10 washes. Low temperature washes help to reduce colour and fabric damage.
