How to Remove Cola & Soft Drink Stains

How to Remove Cola & Soft Drink Stains
Planning a party? Cola, or a range of fizzy soft drinks for that matter, are usually found on the shopping list. 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 on whites, we suggest using Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White Powder. The formula can remove stains, eliminate odours and give whiter whites even after 50 washes!*
Or use Vanish Laundry Boosters for coloured clothes. Both the gel and powder have multi-power properties, so they keep colours bright while also removing stains and odours.
Simply pre-treat or use in the wash to remove cola stains from all your favourite items.

  2. Spray the product onto the stain and leave for 5 mins (max).

  3. Blot away with a clean, absorbent cloth.

  4. Repeat as many times as necessary.

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.
