Used it until they had a sneaky price increase – I always used this product and found it the best. That was when it was in 1 litre bottles with 52 washes. Now it's changed and is in 2 litre bottles… Read more

with ONLY 40 washes (obviously watered down). I emailed this company and asked why, I didn't even receive a response. Big mistake, I won't be buying again.

remover I have used. I recently spilt curry sauce on an expensive Tommy Hilfiger sloppy joe. I tried hot water, Sard’s wonder soap but to no avail. I purchased this product off eBay. Worth every cent. I highly recommend this stain remover.

in the rubbed areas as in photo. Has something changed in the composition of Sard Wonder Soap? We are now keeping this cake of soap for Whites Only! My wife has used Wonder Soap soap for over 40 years on colours and whites for effective stain removal. Is. It the Fluoro colour or the soap that has changed. This top is over 5 years old and has had normal washing over this time. It hasn’t needed stain removal before. See on the photo for the areas the soap was rubbed.

I am used to using another popular Oxy Action Powder that by name would make things disappear.... Absolutely excellent. I use it for everything, from… Read more

washing clothes (I don't bother with washing powders... this works on all clothes and towels, running shoes, etc), to soaking baked-on baking trays and frying pans, etc. Even use it in the toilet cistern. Wherever there is dirt or a stain this will clean it. For example, if I have a heavily stained teacup, I fill it with water and add an eighth of a teaspoon, and after a few hours, it looks like Bone China. The glass, or pan or tub is full of foam, and you know it is going to be squeaky-clean. But it is not cheap. So when I saw the White King version... again a 2kg tub.... I thought I would try it, as it is much cheaper. Unfortunately, not in the same race. Had to re-do the test items with the other brand, and THEN they were clean. White King may be as good for cleaning fabric items, but I doubt it.

thing thats worked! I soaked my sheet for around 24hrs and added a bit more than recommended because it was a 15lt tub but they came out really well. Also great that this is a more natural product than some other brands and it still does as good or better job.

HOW MANY PRE WASH PRODUCTS HAVE YOU BOUGHT? – Just like me, I can guarantee that you have tried most of them. The bottom line is, if it didn't work the first time I simply didn't buy it again! … Read more

So how much money have I spent, always with the hope that the next one would? My issue was my work shirts and the fact that I love perfume! I will NOT give up my perfume, therefore, it seemed that I was stuck with the permanent yellow stain at the collar from not just perfume but greasy moisturisers and makeup. I tried MANY products, shirts looked good while they were wet but once the hot iron got to the collar, well, people must have thought that I never washed my neck! And olive oil! - anything with olive oil splattered on it meant the end of being seen in it again. I bought OZKLEEN PRE WASH POWER to try - my local supermarkets in Adelaide don't carry it so I bought it online directly from Ozclean. Well, like most of their products which I have tried so far, it REALLY worked. No ifs or buts, perfume stains, gone. Olive oil stains, gone. That it does work is all anyone would want of any product. The best!

red and green on clothes.

If you follow the instructions it works perfectly. Thank you as saved me $300 plus in new uniforms.

See photos. These clothes had been washed then dried in dryer. I found the pen at entry when I opened the dryer. I immediately started the ink removal process by putting old towel under and applying remover. Left for 15 minutes then blotted the 50 plus marks over the clothes. Every single mark was removed. The clean shirt is the same shirt that had the largest stain. I was skeptical that it would work but it did. Only tip wear gloves as my hands looked like a Smurf in the end.

Clear liquid with eucalyptus oil – What I like about this is that it is a clear liquid and you don't have to rinse it off and it has no harmful chemicals. I think it is great for… Read more

pretty clean linoleum floors (or at least it worked on those for me). It didn't remove marks for me on the linoleum but I am a pretty awful cleaner I confess. I also used it on grey unsealed tiles I have in the bathroom. Moderately successful with those. Wouldn't probably buy it again cause I think I need something stronger.

This product has amazed me on how well it works on grease stains. Even if the stains are old.. this has worked brilliantly in removing them. Show details

on a stain-free area. Put both jumpers in for a second cycle with double detergent, and the spots came out. Jumpers look great now, but water, power and detergent bills will all be higher.

Amazing stain remover – Amazing stain remover!! I add to my normal wash cycle and it works a treat. Removed stains out of some heavily stained sheets and clothes in one wash. At $3.90 it's way cheaper than Napisan. I'd definitely recommend Show details

exactly. Within 10 minutes most of the garment colour was bleached out. Pants are now off white and the green colour stain still present. Totally destroyed the garment. Interesting that the instructions recommended using the full sachet for the smaller water amount hendwash method and washing machine method on longest cycle. BEWARE.

Does nothing on removing tea towel, pillowslip stains even when soaked for the day with extra powder. No not contacting customer service, better things to do. Will just replace items.

difference over time rather than just using them once. Have never been stuck in my front loader. I do use multiple sheets in a wash. Much better than the whitening products you add to a wash.

to persevere for quite sometime, I've given up and gone elsewhere. Do the company a favour and FIRE the person who thought this was a good idea... and still haven't corrected it after so many scathing reviews. Very disappointing.

think it was recoverable but I purchased Sard Wonder Colour Run Remover and washed in the washing machine as directed. Even though it took me a week or so to do it, the product removed the colour stains completely and the t-shirt is as new. I was quite surprised as I have not had great results with other brands before.

Stain Remover 750mL. I have found the original product to be the best Pre Stain product I have ever used over many decades. The price is also 5 stars i.e. $2.10 compared to to others $4, $6, $9 ... I've tried them all. $$$ is not always the "best".

of a sliding door is his personal toilet (yes there’s plenty of clean cat trays etc, I’ve tried all the tricks and my conclusion is he’s just a [Content Removed]!!) Anyway I’ve spent nearly a thousand dollars on pheromone plug in’s and sprays as well as enzyme cleaners etc etc and the stink of cat piss lingers and the dick keeps going back to the same spot. In comes Trueeco and holy bloody [Content Removed] but this stuff is AMAZING!!! The stench is gone! Just gone!! Plus the cat in question doesn’t pee there as often!! Like we’ve gone from every single day to once this week and I think it was just to remind me he’s still a dick cos it was a token amount at best. Anyway this is by far THE BEST cleaner for animal “accidents” that I have ever come across. Thanks Trueeco!!

Actual trash. Not only were the stains not gone, but it stripped the colour away as well within two minutes of being applied. Might as well save your money and just burn whatever you've stained instead. Show details

I recently bought the Crystal White Vanish Trigger pack stain removal from Woolworths, which the manufacturer advertises as colour safe on the front… Read more

of the pack. 3 pieces of coloured clothing, which I used the stain remover on, have been bleached. It is clearly not colour safe. The manufacturer Recketts is arguing that the washing instructions on my clothes state no bleach, and I should have tested it beforehand. I trusted the Vanish brand and its front-of-pack claim, and clearly this was a big mistake. Since then, I have been through all my coloured clothes washing instructions, and they all say no bleach. So here is the irony. Coloured clothes manufacturers say never use Vanish, and Vanish claims safe with Colours. And when Recketts get caught out, they hide behind their back-of-the-pack details written by a lawyer to minimise risk to them. This is completely misleading advertising, and the product should state whites only, no colours. Now that I have read their website thats what this variant was designed for, WHITES , NOT COLOURS, so why confuse the consumer! I am seeking compensation for my clothes and the product cost, with fair trading and the removal of this false pack claim with ACCC. I trusted this brand and its front-of-pack claim. Reckett Benckiser have offered to refund the cost of their product, but is hiding behind their back-of-pack information, which was written to minimise risk to them. Trust broken. I expected more! No one wants a Vanish stain remover that ruins clothes. Never again Vanish, never again Recketts. I now realise I have been buying a dishwashing detergent, an insecticide, a disinfectant, and a painkiller from this company. Never again!
