Removing Tea Stains:

Tea is a national treasure, either enjoyed as the perfect morning pick-me-up, an essential component of catch-up chats or a ‘hug in a mug’ when you need it most. With Brits consuming around 60 billion cups per year, there are bound to be some spillages – whether on a white shirt at work or at home on your upholstery. Thankfully with our range of Vanish products, there’s something to treat every type of tea stain.

For tea stains on clothes, pre-treat, and then soak or wash the garments using Vanish Oxi Advance Gel or Powder. This will allow our amazing Oxi Advance formula to work its magic on those typically tough-to-treat stains. For upholstery or carpet stains, use our powerful Vanish Gold Oxi Action Carpet Care & Upholstery Spot Treatment Spray

Read on for detailed instructions on how to get the best results when treating tea-stains with Vanish.
