How to Remove Rust Stains
Tackle unwanted rust stains with the power of Vanish Oxi Action. The formula removes stains, eliminates odours and keeps colours bright.
Rust, also known as iron oxide, is formed when iron and oxygen react in the presence of water or moisture in the air.
Rust stains can appear on your favourite clothes out of the blue, which can be annoying, not to mention ugly! Whether it’s from your washing machine tub or pipes, from an accidental scrape with an old railing, or using the tools in your shed, getting rid of rust stains doesn’t have to be a nightmare.
Thanks to Vanish, you can remove rust stains easily with its powerful Oxi Action formula. Simply, soak the stained garment in Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Powder before putting it in the wash. You’ll get an unparalleled deep hygiene action*, which gives your clothes a deep clean in-wash.

INSTRUCTIONS
Mix 10g of powder with equal amount of water, stir for 30 seconds.
Apply the mix on the stain.
Rub stain as needed
Clean and dry the scoop before placing back into the tub.
After pre-treatment, wash as usual.
For stains that stick around, give them an additional soak for maximum results. Simply add a scoop of Vanish powder into 4L of warm or cold water (max 40°), and then leave it to soak for 1 hour (max) for colours and 6 hours (max) for whites. After, just wash the garment as usual with detergent and an additional scoop of Vanish for good measure.
Important: Always read the label on the product packaging and the garment before use. If you’re unsure, test on a small, inconspicuous area.
Tips
Don’t let it dry: If your items were stained as a result of the washing machine, don’t let the garment dry. It sets the stain and makes it even harder to remove the second time around.
