The original post is in regard to colour loss from Vanish.

Colour repair pens or dye kit is your best option if the customer will pay.

I misread your post mate , thought you had said varnish, i must wear my glasses in future when on thisforum ! Lol
To be honest there is no bleeching agents in vanish , the whitish area that you talk about must just be soap residue and needs flushing out! Try fibre and fabric rinse

There is an 'oxidising agent' in some Vanish products Stuart, unfortunately.

Never the less it does have the woolsafe logo meaning it dosent contain any bleeches, any optical brighteners or enzyms

and customers probably ignore the dilution rates and water temp.

Post by: Jamie Pearson on December 04, 2013, 11:00:09 pm: Woolsafe criteria does allow a small % of peroxide content. I can't remember off top of my head what it is but it's in the single figures.
