...As I opened the front door I asked my husband where the dog was, he said he had washed the dog and had then lost her. “Lost her” I enquired. “Yes” he said with a grin, I used the bar of soap under the kitchen sink the one called Vanish. Only joking! Joking? Who is joking? So if we do not use it for washing animals, what do we use it for? I buy a 75g box of ‘Vanish Bar’ and find that it lasts me months that is not because we are ultra careful and never stain anything it is because it is an excellent product and certainly the best I have tried, it lasts a long time and is really effective. I have tried sprays and other products and I must admit I still use them but they never ever seem as good as the plain old bar of whiteVanish. What annoys me the most is spraying a garment with another product, and then popping... Read review

Advantages: Works 99% Of The Time
Disadvantages: Sometimes Too Much Comes Out Of The Bottle At Once

...When I moved to the UK, shopping was a new experience for me. Brand names were totally unfamiliar, and I had no idea which brand was better. When I needed to buy stain remover for the first time, I brought Vanish Gel. There's no looking back now. 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. The lid is at the base of the tube, and is transparent. You will notice a bright pink plastic brush thing attached to the tube. This is how you know you have the right type of Vanish. How Does It Work? You squeeze the tube a little - don't squeeze too hard, otherwise you'll end up with too much of the stuff on the brush. You will notice that some of the goopy stuff comes...

...become the best friend I have in my “cleaning” cupboard ~~~The VANISH RANGE~~~ Hailing from the vast Reckitt Benckiser empire, the stable of such varied brands as Veet, Gavison, Harpic, Airwick, Calgon, Finish, Cillit Bang and Dettol, this brand has impeccable pedigree: that is if you admire such breeding as issues from multinational conglomerates! I checked out its environmental credentials, as I like to do with cleaning products, not because I am a born again environmentalist but in order to fend off any of the criticism levelled at me by worthy, environmentally-friendly acquaintances. The corporation’s environmental policy statement and annual sustainability reports, looked, in truth, a tad woolly but then I scored a bull-eye when I discovered that the company are one of the members of the “ Corporate Leaders Group on Climate...

Advantages: Bright whites, Large bottle lasts a long time, Tough on everyday stains
Disadvantages: Can't handle tough stains

...to get most of my wash clean and more importantly it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. The first thing that caught my eye (literally) about this product was the bottle. In one word it’s pink! Yes that’s right pink. Bright luminous pink. Not the best colour to advertise a product in but one that definitely worked. Well I picked it up didn’t I? So what is it and what does it do I thought to myself. On the front label it has the name Vanish Liquid In-Wash Stain Remover and it claims ‘Ultimate Stain Removal’. Sounds good thought I so I turned the 2Litre bottle round and had a look at the instructions for use on the back. These were as follows: For loads with everyday tough stains – Just add 100ml of Vanish directly into the drum. Dose detergent as normal. Start wash cycle immediately. (Alternatively add 100ml to the detergent drawer... Read review

...to be much in the way of dirty clothing – the after thoughts of this however were “Just exactly how long HAVE you worn the same socks and underpants, Sam??!!” Boys, Eee-yuk! It was then that I extracted from the bag a BRAND NEW long sleeved Falmer t-shirt top I had bought him to travel in - then that my question as to what had he worn for the past 5 days was answered, THIS! This top is sky blue and Sam had managed to obviously wear it CONTINUALLY (possibly even to bed???? Eee-yuk!); you can imagine what state it was in, can’t you?! Had it not been brand new I would prob
