How to Remove Cola and Soft Drink Stain

Planning a party? Cola, or a range of fizzy soft drinks for that matter, are usually found on the shopping list. Don't let cola stains ruin the day, with Vanish stain removal has never been easier.

Perfect for washing down a slice of pizza or providing the little ones with a special treat, soft drinks are a crowd favourite for good reason. However, with all the fun to be had at such social occasions, it’s not uncommon for cups to knock over and spillages to occur. If you’re wondering, “does cola stain?”, the answer is yes. But, thanks to Vanish, it’s easy to get cola and soft drink stains out of clothes.

For the best results, we suggest using Vanish Oxi Action Powder or gel for coloured clothes and Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White Powder or Gel on whites.

Read on for instructions on how to remove cola and soft drink stains from your fabrics.

How to get cola out of clothes

Simply use Vanish Oxi Action Powder or Vanish Gold Oxi Action Pink Gel on your coloured clothes and follow the instructions below:

How to get cola stains out of carpets

It can be a tough task to remove cola stains from the carpet – even with Vanish! Read our tips below on how to stop the stain from setting in.

INSTRUCTIONS

Blot the affected area with an absorbent cloth or paper towel to soak up excess liquid.
Spray the product onto the stain and leave for 5 mins (max).
Blot away with a clean, absorbent cloth.
Repeat as many times as necessary – for dried in coffee stains this may be necessary

Tips

Time is key – to prevent the stain from absorbing into the fibres, tackle the spill as soon as possible. Grab a clean damp cloth and use a blotting motion to soak up as much of the cola, so you have more chance at successful removing it.
