Planning a party? Cola, or a range of fizzy soft drinks for that matter, are usually found on the shopping list. Perfect for washing down a slice of pizza or providing the little ones with a special treat, soft drinks are a crowd favourite for good reason. However, with all the fun to be had at such social occasions, it’s not uncommon for cups to knock over and spillages to occur. If you’re wondering, “does cola stain?”, the answer is yes. But, thanks to Vanish, it’s easy to get cola and soft drink stains out of clothes.

For the best results on whites, we suggest using Vanish Power O2 Multi-action white powder or Vanish Oxi Advance Crystal White Gel. The formula can remove stains, eliminate odours and give whiter whites even after 50 washes!*

Or use Vanish Oxi Advance Powder or Vanish Oxi Advance Gel for coloured clothes. Both the gel and powder have multi-power properties, so they keep colours bright while also removing stains and odours.

Simply pre-treat or use in the wash to remove cola stains from all your favourite items.

30-second stain and odour removal.

Instructions

  1. Blot the affected area with an absorbent cloth or paper towel to soak up excess liquid.
  2. Spray the product onto the stain and leave for 5 mins (max).
  3. Blot away with a clean, absorbent cloth.
  4. Repeat as many times as necessary – for dried in coffee stains this may be necessary.

Tips

Time is key – to prevent the stain from absorbing into the fibres, tackle the spill as soon as possible. Grab a clean damp cloth and use a blotting motion to soak up as much of the cola, so you have more chance at successful removing it.
