What were some of the types of stains you used this product to remove?
Spaghetti stains, mud, squished strawberries, felt tip pens and toddler poo.

What did you like most about the product?
It was easy to use and smelt nice.

Would you recommend the product to a friend and/or family member? If so why?
Yes. It removed stains effectively and was easy to use.

Compared to what you did before, how did using Vanish impact your stain removal?
It was quicker with great results.

Is this your first time using Vanish? If so would you now consider buying more of their products?
I have used Vanish products before but not the liquid versions and not for quite a few years. After trialing this product I will definitely consider buying it.

I used the product exclusively to remove stains from my child’s clothing including blueberry, orange and tomato juice stains. These stains in the past have been really difficult to remove. I liked the smell of the product and the fact that it is safe to use on children’s clothing as in the past I’ve always worried about using standard stain removers because of their strong chemicals and smells left on the clothing. There is none of that with this product. I would definitely recommend to friends and family who particularly have young children. I would say that the product was more effective than other products that I have used for quite some time now and I had to re apply stain remover less frequently to properly get rid of the marks when using this product. Before this product I have always used the Vanish granules but now I think I would buy this product instead. However the top of the bottle was broken when I received it so perhaps make the tops a little stronger to last longer maybe?

I used this on food stains particularly mango as well as poo and vomit and also blood

I found it easy to use no need for anything complex

I would recommend to a friend and have done so. My childminder was fretting about getting a stain out of my son’s top and I told her about the vanish and not to worry the stain came out really quickly

It’s been a while since I used vanish I’m eindering now why I ever stopped

- What were some of the types of stains you used this product to remove?
Pooey nappy leak stains, Bolognese sauce stains, food stains, dried blood stains.
- What did you like most about the product?
It was good at getting out poo stains, and it smells nice!
- Would you recommend the product to a friend and/or family member? If so why?
Yes, definitely to all my friends with babies/toddlers as it gets out poo stains!
- Compared to what you did before, how did using Vanish impact your stain removal?
Usually for poo stains I use washing up liquid, which works well is the stain is fresh, but not nearly as well as Vanish on the dried-in stains (eg when the poo leak happened at nursery)
It was also very good at removing Bolognese sauce stains!
- Is this your first time using Vanish? If so would you now consider buying more of their products?
No, I have used Vanish powder before.
For stubborn stains, I think the liquid is better, but for adding to the wash either are good. I would definitely buy other Vanish products.

Tried this on a Blackcurrent stain today! I quickly tried to eat a blackcurrent cheesecake without the kids seeing and dropped a bit!

It's had 2 days to settle into the Top aswell.
After a minute of rubbing it faded, by about 2 mins rubbing with the lid it had almost gone!

Washed & came up like new! (Pics afterwards are straight from the dryer) normally I wouldn't bother as it's only a cheapy from Primark

Very impressed!

• What were some of the types of stains you used this product to remove? --> I used this on my little one's dirty gloves from nursery and on a tomato based sauce stain
• What did you like most about the product? --> primarily, I found that it was really effective at removing stains even when used on a 30 degree wash cycle (with some pre treating admittedly). I really loved the lack of strong chemical odour, which made me more confident that it was suitable for my young child's garments.
• Would you recommend the product to a friend and/or family member? If so why? --> Without hesitation. It's effective and far more so then other products I've tried (aside from Vanish).
• Compared to what you did before, how did using Vanish impact your stain removal? --> I've previously used the standard Vanish products and find that this works just as well, which is great.
• Is this your first time using Vanish? If so would you now consider buying more of their products? -->This is not my first time and I'm pleased to say that it will not be my last either!
