  • Vanish Gold

    We often need to soak our baby’s clothes as he can make quite the mess! We have found that Vanish works particularly well and removes even the toughest food stains. Also my husband’s shirts often build up unsightly stains in the underarms and Vanish seems to do the trick. I will definitely buy again.

  • great product

    Hello. I think that vanish is a little bit pricey to buy in the shop, even with a discount. I think that the amazing way that this works, justifies the cost though. You only really need a little of the product for spot stains but i use the recommended amount in the washing. This actually works well and does what it says it will do on the container!. This is a great size to store in the laundry and is very versatile to use. This gets out a wide variety of stains and it does not wreck or damage the clothes in any way. overall i am pretty impressed with this product and it’s amazing range of cleaning ability especially with my three young children always messing up their clothes or sheets etc. Thanks for taking the time to read my review on vanish.

My fiance is a mechanic and it brings out anything that he gets on his shirts before I had to soak them overnight now I just make this into a paste apply it to the stain and put it through the wash Brilliant!

    I have always been a Vanish user & was keen to try the Gold & have been pleasantly surprised by how quick & effective it is. It has removed most of my husbands stains from his grubby farm work clothes, I have no idea how he gets so much grease on him! This will be a staple in my laundry now.

    I love Vanish gold stain remover. This, and other vanish varieties are staples in our house. I can not imagine doing a load of washing without using it – especially with YOUNG BOYS who like to play in the dirt and give their clothes a work out. If they ever took this off the market I would be lost.

    I was generally happy with the quality and results when I used Vanish Gold. I am a busy mum of 5 young kids, and they are always getting dirty. Grass stains and mud are my biggest enemies, but I found that Vanish Gold worked really well in removing these stains without too much effort from me. I did find that I needed to use a pre-stain remover on some of the tougher grass stains. I will certainly be buying this product again

    I wasn’t part of the trial team but i was looking for a new stain removal product so i gave it a go. Works really well at removing tough stains but i love it most as an in wash booster, removing stains in tandem with my laundry detergent. Look how bright my washing is!

    Absolutely superb for soaking all those nasty toddler and school age child stains! Guaranteed effectiveness of spaghetti bolognaise and grass stains! Had tried a cheaper version but is not worth the small saving. Vanish Gold also works great added to the weekly wash. I won’t be purchasing a different stain removing brand. Vanish Gold all the way…

    I use this most of the time and it does a good job on the boys’ cricket whites, futsal and soccer uniforms and their general grubby clothes. However even Vanish Gold hasn’t been able to restore my boys’ yellow sports shirts to pristine condition. Nothing I have tried has worked for those shirts!

  • This is ridiculously easy to use, and insanely effective!

    I cannot stress enough, just how messy my life is with three boys! There’s mud, blood, grass, food, and something I don’t even want to hazard a guess at what it might be! Vanish Gold is the first product I’ve tried, that ACTUALLY WORKS on all of them! Anything my boys throw at it, it throws back twice as hard. 😀 Add this to your arsenal MoM’s, you won’t regret it!

  • whites are getting whiter

    i use Vanish gold mostly for my partners cricket whites as he generally comes home with green grass stains, dirt stains and discoloration around the collar from sun cream. i have been using Vanish for about a month now and although the stains still show i do see a difference in the whites getting whiter. i soak his whites with vanish to help get those tough stains out. sometimes its effective other times not so much. i would buy again as it does work.

  • Not that effective

    I bought the 500gm jar of Vanish to try as my son plays cricket and wanted to test on his white cricket uniform which normally comes back black and green from playing on the fields . Despite being a good quality powder , I found after soaking the clothes for an hour only certain stains were removed and I still needed to scrub out the rest with a brush . I didn’t find it was strong enough to remove the really tough marks at all . I would only use it on lighter less stubborn stains .

    I could not live without this product! My daughters clothes are always dirty and stained and this never fails to get the stains out. I always have a bucket made up ready to chuck clothes or nappies straight into. It is gentle and never bleaches my colours but makes the whites super white. I find other brands dont work as well as this product. I recommend this to all of my ffriends! Thanks to Mouths of mums for another great review

    I have previously used vanish products and thought that the results didn’t really match up to the adverts, so when I heard about vanish gold I thought stains vanishing in 30 seconds? This can’t be true! But to my surprise it was. The instructions were simple and easy to follow, and the process was completely mess and hassle free. I used the paste method which was

  • It Works!

    Vanish Gold, whether it be making a paste, soaking clothes or adding it to the washing, it is incredibly simple to use.

    Vanish Gold certainly lives up to all the claims it makes however, I’m not easily convinced that it deserves its higher price tag, compared to other stain removers on the market.

    I do like Vanish products in the laundry however, I will only purchase Vanish Gold if it is on sale and cheaper than other choices.

  • work well if put into a wash a soaked

    When I used Vanish Gold… I found it to work well in a wash on soak. When I tried to soak cloths in a bucket I found the cloths needed longer then 30seconds, but I did find over time soaking for too long did weaken the material in my bibs making the button clip pull out of the material.



  • Great on ageing stains

    I took some baby clothes out of storage the other day and they had lots of yellow stains on them that weren’t there when I put them away. I threw them in the wash but it didn’t remove them so I decided to soak them for a couple of hours in Vanish Gold. After washing again all the stains had come out and they looked like new again!

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!

  • My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

    Reply

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

    Reply

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

    Reply

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

    Reply

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

    Reply

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
