Denim can be a hardy material, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe from stains. Remove unwanted marks from your jeans with the Vanish Oxi Action formula.
How to remove stains from denim and jeans
For most of us, denim forms a significant part of ours and our family’s wardrobes. From that trusted pair of jeans that we just can’t live without, to our go-to denim jackets, it’s a material we rely on time and time again.
That’s why it can be so annoying to find a stain on our favourite denim jeans or jacket. There’s no need to panic though! With Vanish, you can get your denim clothing looking as good as new in just a few simple steps. For best results we’d recommend pre-treating, soaking then washing the stained item/s using Vanish. And the best news? Our Vanish Oxi Action formula has multi-power benefits meaning it removes stains and odours, while also brightening the colours of your clothes. You’ll also get a proper clean when you use it in-wash, thanks to the deep hygiene action*, leaving you with clean denim every time. It is completely colour safe, so it won’t fade your denims – and our range for whites is designed to not only remove stains but to treat dinginess too! That means you can enjoy stain-free white denim that’s instantly whiter after just one wash.
One concern when it comes to denim is that it’ll fade over time, which is often due to it being washed again and again in hot water. The good news is that Vanish works even in a cold wash (20°C) – enabling you to preserve your coloured denims for longer.
Read on for more top tips on how to use Vanish to get your jeans and denim clothes looking as good as the day you bought them.
