I have a recipe for wash day blues in my house. All my towels are white, and so is all the bed linen. Put this into conjunction with a 14 year old daughter who liberally applies make-up but could perhaps be a little more fastidious in removing it and I more often than not find myself confronted with make-up stained towels and pillow cases. Short of changing all my towels and bedding, which frankly I am disinclined to do, I needed a good wash day solution to the problem. I wash all bedding and towels using Surf biological liquid and this does do a good job with most stains, but of course over time whites tend to lose that original brightness and have a habit ...  Read the complete review

There are too many Vanish products out there. How can consumers be expected to know which to buy from the serried ranks of pretty pink containers? - and now this white container as well, but with the familiar pink Vanish logo on the front. These people take us for suckers, which we largely are, otherwise their strategy wouldn't work. Are we all so much dirtier than we used to be? Do we really need this stuff? My Mum just used to soak a stained item of clothing in the sink overnight, perhaps in a mild bleach solution - or just give it a bit of a rub with some washing powder if anything got stained. Thesedays however we have been persuaded that that isn't good ...  Read the complete review

I have seen reviews that really rate this product but I sadly must be doing something wrong because although this does help to make clothes look a little fresher on the whole (especially whites) and does tackle some basic stains, the ones I really was looking to get rid off resolutely remain on my washing! I bought the 1kg tub with a screw on lid which claims to be the world's best selling No.1 stain remover to use alongside my washing liquid as this is currently on half price offer in Tesco (usually £8.32, currently £4.16) until the 17th May. Compared to the previous formula this claims to tackle even set in stains. For use in the ...  Read the complete review

Despite the hype and the claims that modern washing powders make about their ability to remove stains and keep whites white, the reality is that I have yet to find one that actually lives up to such claims! When it comes to white clothes in particular, I often need something extra to make sure that they stay nice and bright and stain free. That little "extra" is Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White. I always have piles of washing, and do at least one load a day, and when it comes to my whites, such as shirts, socks, school tops, towels and bedding, I tend to wait until I have enough to make a whole load, and wash it all together to avold colour run ...  Read the complete review

I bought Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White after returning from a recent holiday, some of our white items of clothing which we had had down by the pool appeared to have yellow marks on them from the chlorine in the swimming pool water. After hours of soaking and plenty of fairy liquid and white vinegar I gave in and took a trip to Tesco for some Vanish Oxi Crystal White as a last resort. The Packaging Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White comes in a white tub with the word Vanish written in large blue letters across the front of the table with pink colouring behind it. The words Oxi Action Crystal White are also written at the bottom of the label across ...  Read the complete review
