To effectively use Vanish liquid for colored clothes, you'll typically mix it with water for soaking and/or add it directly to your washing machine. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Using Vanish Liquid for Soaking Colored Clothes:
-
Prepare the Solution: Mix 60ml of Vanish liquid into 4 liters of warm water (maximum 40°C / 104°F). Using water that is too hot could damage your colored garments.
-
Soak the Garment: Fully submerge your colored clothes in the solution.
-
Soaking Time: Soak colored items for a maximum of 1 hour. Do not exceed this time, as prolonged soaking could potentially affect the color.
-
Wash as Usual: After soaking, place the clothes in your washing machine.
Using Vanish Liquid in the Washing Machine for Colored Clothes:
-
Dose: Add 60ml of Vanish liquid to your washing machine drum, either in a dispensing pod/ball or directly into the drum.
-
Add Detergent: Wash as usual with your regular laundry detergent.
Important Considerations:
- Always check the garment's care label before using any stain remover, including Vanish.
- Test in an inconspicuous area: Before applying Vanish to the entire garment, test it on a hidden area (like an inside seam) to ensure colorfastness.
- Do not use on wool, silk, or leather: Vanish liquid may not be suitable for delicate fabrics like wool, silk, or leather. Refer to the product label for specific fabric restrictions.
- Avoid direct sunlight: Do not expose treated garments to direct sunlight while they are still wet.
