3. What type of stains can Vanish® remove?
Vanish® can remove up to 100 types of stains including some of the toughest stains such as ink and greasy food stains.
- Bleachable Stains – Stains with strong colours such as coffee, tea, wine or fruit juices. They generally come from fruit, vegetables and plant-based sources. To be removed, they need cleaning ingredients that are strong oxidants to decolorise stains. Vanish® products have Active Oxygen for superior stain removal – which detergents do not have.
- Greasy Stains – Oil-Based Stains such as cooking oil and fats, body oils, cosmetics, and motor oil. To remove this, you need cleaning ingredients that dissolve oil in water. Vanish® products contain surfactants to remove oil-based stains effectively.
- Enzymatic Stains – These stains are generally from more complex molecules (protein and carbohydrates). Some examples include blood, egg, milk, grass, and chocolate. To remove enzymatic stains, you need cleaning ingredients that break the large molecules into smaller components. Vanish® Powder contains enzymes to break down these enzymatic stains to remove them.
