  • 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.

  • Vanish Works

    Vanish Gold has become the number one stain remover in our house as it works so well. We have continued to use it as we get some pretty grubby clothes around here and it always does a good job of getting rid of the nastiest stains. I always recommend it to people.

  • 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.

  • I thought it worked great.

    I normally use the ordinary napisan, I tried this new one, it worked great. It didn’t get out some stains in under 30 seconds I guess it depends what the stains are from. But overall it did a great job and brought my clothes back up to wearable standard. I would definatly recommend this product to any mum, as kids always manage to get stubborn stains on their best clothing. If you say your kid doesn’t your lying lol.

  • Great stain remover

    I have always been hopeless with stain removal, often handing over to my own mum, items which required hand washing, soaking or scrubbing! Whilst this got rid of would be stains quickly and easily, I did have some mould stains ( from something staying dirty for a few days in a plastic bag at the bottom of a school bag, unbeknown to me) which still didn’t come out. Otherwise a great product.

  • It works...not sure about the price

    No matter how you use Vanish Gold, whether it be making a paste, soaking clothes or adding it to the washing, it is incredibly simple to use.
    Even though Vanish Gold definitely lives up to all the claims it makes, I’m not readily convinced that it deserves the higher price tag compared to other stain removers.
    I trust Vanish and use their products in the laundry however, I will only purchase Vanish Gold if it is on sale and cheaper than other choices.

  • AMAZING PRODUCT

    we have always used vanish products for stain removers, and this did not dissapoint. wish a very active and hands on 3 year old his clothes are always getting some kind of stain on them, and this product manage to get every stain out, even ones that have been there for weeks and been treated before with another stain remover. would recommend this to all friends and family. also we usually have to use sensitive products and this had no effect on my sons skin

  • Effective & easy to use

    Having always used Vanish over the years I was already happy to try out this new super boosted formula. The instructions are clear, it’s simple to use and it really does work even in the 30 seconds (which I was initially not sure about). It’s great on all the kids gear, especially the tough stains & I’ll continue using it.

    Vanish Gold has makes very easy work of removing stains in my home. Grass stains, garden dirt and mud, dripped tomato sauce and pasta stains, beetroot, red wine, all disappear without trace. So as you see it’s not just kids that make a mess on their clothing, us adults do too!

  • Not as amazing as I had hoped

    I bought this the day I saw it arrive in my local woolies. With a hubby and 2 boys there’s always plenty of grubby clothes to test so I set to work on Mr 1’s tshirt (white) with food stains. Removed small amount of stain after a few minutes, then washed but no more stain was removed. Will keep trying but not 100% convinced!

    It really is good but i find it equal to White King Oxy Boost, i decided to try this as we had been using the Vanish NapiSan Plus – i then moved to White King Oxy Boost then decided to purchase the Vanish Gold – i find it great, it does remove stains easily. I will be buying more of this product as it is easier to purchase and available everywhere

  • Good, convenient and effective.

    this product has over time grown on me, my initial response and experience was that when I first did the 30 second test I got the same result after 30 seconds in just water, I have however soaked clothes in this product a few times and found some hard deep old stains are starting to fade. I prefer this outcome obviously as my daughter refuses to wear stained clothes.
    I do think this is not the miracle product it says it is, but that’s because I am using it on old stains. New stains are easier and have more chance of being removed if you wash on the same day.

    The solid food stains are getting messier and Vanish Gold is my best friend. I use it as a paste as well as soaking and in the wash and it works so well in all aspects. So glad I got to trial this product as it was perfect timing for my messy little Bub. I am sure I will be using it for years to come with two messy little boys!

    I have bought Vanish Gold from Coles and love it, it takes the harder stains out especially with white stuff. As a busy mum with 3 kids and a husband who technically counts as a kid as well I have loads of washing I do each week and to have the peace and mind that this actually works is amazing. I use it not just for stains but for general washing now, I LOVE IT!

    Using Vanish Gold is incredibly easy no matter if you’re soaking, adding it to the washing or making a paste.
    Vanish Gold most definitely lives up to all the claims it makes however, I’m really not convinced that it deserves to be priced higher.

  • I love Vanish

    While I use Vanish products in the laundry, from the spray, the powder and the vanish gel, since having kids these products are so good at removing the stains that come with dirt magnets. I don’t feel the new Vanish Gold made any difference in the stains. The grease stains didn’t lift and the baby food stains from my daughter’s bibs just didn’t come out. I will continue to buy Vanish products, but I am a little let down by the Vanish Gold after all the hype

  • Does all it claims to do

    I recently purchased Vanish Gold when it was half price at the super market.
    While I had great results with Vanish Gold and it did all it claims to do, I felt for the regular price, and compared to other stain remover options, it was a bit on the expensive side.
    In saying that however, whenever Vanish Gold is on sale, I’ll happily purchase.

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.
