Vanish Reviews 

The vanish stain removal which says it is color safe bleaches the clothing and destroys an outfit!!!!!

I am absolutely disgusted with how little product is actually inside the Vanish Turbo Medium tub. The tub is barely more than half full, which is incredibly misleading and disappointing.

The amount of powder inside would have easily fitted into the smallest tub available. Why use such a large box when it contains so little product?

This feels like a complete rip-off. The packaging gives the impression that you are getting a decent amount, but in reality, you are left feeling cheated. It is certainly not value for money, and I will think twice before purchasing Vanish again.

Very disappointing and not something I would recommend.

⚠️ BE CAREFUL WITH VANISH OXI ACTION CRYSTAL WHITE

I used Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White on a brand-new, expensive 100% cotton white T-shirt. The T-shirt was in perfect condition before I used the product.

After soaking it with Vanish, the entire T-shirt was covered with numerous small pink/red stains. I washed it again, but the stains remained.

What is particularly concerning is that the powder itself contains visible small pink/red and blue-coloured granules mixed with the white powder. I am now concerned that these coloured particles may have transferred onto the fabric during soaking.

This was not an old or damaged garment — it was a NEW and expensive T-shirt, and Vanish has left it badly stained.

I have contacted Reckitt/Vanish Consumer Care and asked them to investigate the product, identify what the coloured granules are, and explain why a product intended for white laundry can leave pink/red marks on white cotton.

I am sharing this review to warn other customers, especially anyone considering soaking expensive white clothing in this product.

This stuff is really useless, I have used it a few times on normal household stains on table cloths and napkins and on stains on clothing , Vanish made no difference at all to any of the stains.

Used the product on a polo shirt from a reputable high street store. The container says, in two places, ‘free from chlorine bleach’. Although it also says test before use, but where do you test a shirt the whole of which is on display when worn. After use the shirt had around 40 large bleach spots and unwearable.
Customer services defended their product by saying we should have tested the product first and the label on the garment says ‘do not bleach, EVEN THOUGH the container says free from choline bleach.
Very bad service from customer care,BUYERS BEWARE

DISGUSTING PRODUCT NEEDS TAKING OFF THE MARKET. THE OXI WHITE HAS RUINED TWO EXPENSIVE WHITE TOPS LEAVING BEHIND YELLOWS MARKS ALL OVER BOTH OF THEM.
NEVER EVER WILL I PURCHASE THESE PRODUCTS AGAIN.

Used this product on a t shirt and it bleached it.
I have been using this product for 27 years with no problem until now.
I contact manufacturer who asked how was it used?, how much was put on? what material?was it prewashed?etc.
I provided all this by e mail with photos of their product and t shirt now the have asked basically same questions again.
Presumably they are stupid, cannot read or are unfamilar with English.
I would have expected some form of compensation but no.
Do not buy these onanists products.

Do NOT use this product. I used it on my son's favourite navy polo shirt and it has come out with tiny pink spots everywhere and destroyed it! It would have been better to have had the small oil stain. Devastated as it was an expensive shirt. This product should be removed from the market!

Vanish carpet cleaner is far from good,best thing to do is look for other products!!!!

Vanish does not remove soil from underwear 5 times 1 after another i washed some underwear and Vanish never even touched the soil stain

⚠️ Consumer Warning: Vanish Oxi Action Ruined My Clothing

I followed the Vanish Oxi Action instructions exactly as stated on the tub, and it completely ruined two of my Superdry jersey dresses (RRP £65 each). These weren’t cheap items, especially in the current cost‑of‑living climate.

After reading other reviews from people with similar experiences, I won’t be seeking compensation because it’s clear the company does not accept liability. They continue to market the product as “safe for clothes,” yet real‑world results show otherwise. If they acknowledged the damage it causes, they’d have to admit the product isn’t suitable and that would cost them millions.

So this post is simply to warn other consumers: be cautious and think twice before using Vanish Oxi Action. Even when used exactly as directed, it can permanently damage your clothing, and you’re unlikely to receive any support or accountability from the company.

Dear Vanish...what happened? I know you for long time. Did u start selling air?
In the box for 600 gr you have place for another 400. This is normal?

I used this vanish oxi action on 2 of my daughter’s t-shirts for minor stains and both t-shirts are now completely covered in pink spots which look like they have been spattered with bleach. I contacted customer services and they took no responsibility whatsoever. I wish I’d just stick to the dr beckenham one that I normally use which works perfectly well. Two £20 t-shirts are now completely ruined :((

My clothes is ruined. What the hell happened for vanish? My clothes full of yellow marks. Never use again.

It doesn’t actually work with anything. It only works when running water though it would work without it. Tried it so many times

I definitely would not give this a star at all,it ruined 2 expensive tops,I emailed them,and their response was they won't accept any liability for damage caused,im actually gutted as I sent pictures of one of the tops that was ruined,the other was binned which was my sons who paid 160 quid,totally ruined,I will go back to my cheaper version which took stains out no problem with no marks left ,they should be ashamed of their company, selling products that destroy people clothes,and then take no accountability for it,hope no one buys their products.

Their product has ruined my husbands best shirt now with pink flecks all over it. If this isn’t bad enough, scaling the defenses of the customer service department is like bashing your head against a brick wall and no one to speak to….
They refuse to take adequate responsibility for damage caused by the product other than a derisory ‘ gesture’ and not the replacement cost.
The parent company is Reckitt ….
Very apt

AVOID. Used vanish oxi action many times in the past with great results. Recently purchased the product from the Vanish Amazon store and it’s completely ruined my clothes. Bleach marks all over three brand new t shirts. I thought perhaps a one off faulty product or batch but after reading other reviews I think not.
