The miracle of parenthood means you get to watch your little one become a person in their own right. However, when babies grow at such a rapid rate, it’s common for them to go through an enormous amount of clothes in a very small space of time – not to mention the stains these clothes are subjected to. No need to fret though, the Vanish formula removes stains, brightens colours and eliminates odours, all in one wash. So, you can use Vanish on your baby clothes to extend their lifespan and spend more time with your child and less time worrying about the washing!
For the best results on your little one’s clothes, you simply have to add Vanish along with your usual baby detergent to every wash. For coloured clothes, use Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Powder or Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Gel and for your whites, use Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White Powder.
Read on for more information on how to care for baby clothes.

Your baby’s skin is delicate and can be sensitive, so it’s always best to give any new, store-bought clothes a wash before you dress them. Because Vanish is safe to use on baby clothes, it’s a super simple process; for coloured clothes, just add a scoop of Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Powder or Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Gel to every load. You’ll get amazing deep hygiene action*, which gives your washing a deep clean in-wash.
*removes stains for hygiene boost.

  1. Add one scoop of the Vanish powder or a 60ml dose of Vanish gel to your detergent washing machine drawer.
  2. Wash as usual with your regular detergent or a baby-friendly detergent.
  3. For baby clothes that are no stranger to the washing machine and have dulled over time, why not give them a soak to greying and dulling over time? It’s easy to do a large batch of clothes, too; simply add a scoop of Vanish powder or a 60ml dose of gel to 4L of warm or cold water (max 40°). Leave the items to soak for a maximum of 1 hour for coloured clothes or 6 hours for whites. Then, wash them following the steps above.
