Just to give you some background, I had a mad panic back in July where I spent several frantic weeks scouring the shops of London town for a perfect dress to wear to my boyfriend's sisters wedding in Ireland in August. I found this beautiful canary yellow creation, sweetheart neck, nipped at the waist and then a full skirt that ... ...500g tub. All of the Vanish products are quite distinctive being bright pink, and this one is no different. (Although the product picture shows it being white, this doesnt look like the same product, but the name is the same!) The tub consists of a pink scoop and the product itself which is white and powdery. This product can be used on colours and whites, but cannot be used on wool, silk or leather. The directions are to add one scoop to your wash ...

Advantages: It will remove most stains. Disadvantages: You may need to wear a pair of rubber gloves.
...I have to get the Vanish out to do its extra work and the garment has to go back into the machine. I should not have been so lazy in the first place. It kind of takes me back to the old days when we used carbolic soap, which always seemed to get most stains out too. Well it washed the dirt of my face.
My husband, never one to remove stains but always one to make them, asked.
“What do you use this bar of soap for then?”
I smiled sweetly and widened ... ...you not to leave the Vanish on the side of the sink, and now I digress, a relative of mine once cleaned his teeth with hair remover, because it came in a tube! Okay so he never grew any hairs on his teeth again but he did suffer from burnt gums. So apart from sweet and sour what other stains does this wonderful little bar remove? So far for me, I would say everything it has rubbed up against.

How Do I Know If I've Got The Right Stuff?
Vanish Gel (pre-wash stain remover) comes in a bright pink and white 200ml tube. I brought my last tube at Tesco yesterday for £2.77, although I have seen it on special.

This is how you know you have the right ... ...will now know what stains Vanish will remove.
a) Brake/Transmission fluid/Oil/Grease/Dirt - Vanish works remarkably well on these stains. Before the MOTH got a uniform, he had to wear his own old shirts to work. I tried Vanish, and it removed 80% of the grease etc - without presoaking. I washed it again the next week, and you can barely see the stain anymore. I think with these types of stain though, treating them quickly, and presoaking, would ...

...tomato stains, I came upon Vanish bar in my local supermarket. I am not a lover of in wash stain removers - why apply something to all of a garment just to remove a few marks so a bar that could be rubbed into specific stains seemed like a good idea.

...a free sample of "New" Vanish Action Ball - an "in-wash stain remover tablet." Coincidence? I think not.
I am adverse to buying extra products for laundering purposes, for example those smelly tissues for your tumble dryer - in my opinion you may as well bung a fiver in with the load and let it do it's worst. And as for this specific cleaner for specific clothing - I'm sorry but I have better things to spend my money on.
