Vanish for carpets: description and instructions for use of the product

Any carpet sooner or later gets dirty and loses its original appearance. You can get rid of dirt and stains using modern detergents. The most effective of them is Vanish for carpets. It is produced in different forms, each of which has its own characteristics. The product must be used strictly according to the instructions.

Composition and types

The activity of Vanish is due to the content of chemical compounds in it, which are highly resistant, but do not damage fabric fibers. The product does not contain chlorine. It contains phosphates, acid bleach and organic floral fragrances.

You can remove stains from the carpet using wet or dry cleaning. In the first case, the product easily copes with the most difficult dirt and stains. The second type of cleaning is carried out using powder, which is then removed with a vacuum cleaner. Vanish for carpet cleaning is available in several types:

• spray designed to remove local stains;
• dry cleaning powder;
• shampoo for manual cleaning (regular and antibacterial);
• shampoo for washing vacuum cleaners;
• active foam.

All these products help remove even the oldest stubborn stains. After cleaning, the product again takes on a fresh and attractive appearance.

Properties of Vanish

Vanish is a popular cleaning product that has amazing absorbent properties.
It easily cleans a wide variety of stains: from protein stains to difficult-to-remove chemical elements. The rapid elimination of stains of organic origin is explained by the presence in the composition of the detergent of anionic surfactants, phosphates and polyacrylates, which differ in their characteristic features.

They easily pass into the tissue, bind contaminant molecules and effectively eliminate them. The presence of anionic surfactants and oxygen-containing bleach in the cleaning product allows you to remove the unpleasant odor present in many household chemicals.

This property was appreciated by many Vanish consumers. This product will not harm people with allergies.

Vanish gently cleanses fabric fibers without destroying their structure. It can be used on white and colored fabrics. When treated with bleach, brightness and rich color are preserved. “Vanish” for colored fabrics is used according to the instructions, observing the dosage.

General rules of use

Before you start using Vanish, you need to prepare the carpet by cleaning it with a regular vacuum cleaner. Detergents are not suitable for this purpose. The general rules for using the entire line are as follows:

1. The carpet should be vacuumed twice a week on both sides. This will avoid the appearance of dirty spots and streaks after processing.
2. For preventive purposes, the rug is cleaned with Vanish at least once a month.
3. The room must be thoroughly ventilated during processing.
4. It is advisable to use the product immediately after the stain appears.
5. It is not recommended to wet the rug too much, otherwise it may shrink.
6. To maximize the effect of the product, it is not recommended to walk on the surface of the carpet during treatment.
7. It is better not to use Vanish on products with unstable paint.
8. Before you start using a new stain remover, you need to test it. This is best done on an inconspicuous area of ​​the canvas. If the color of the product has not faded and the pile has not lost its shape, then the entire surface can be treated with detergent.

To remove an old, difficult stain, first pour 50 ml of liquid undiluted product onto it. Then foam is applied. This helps remove even the most severe stains.

Carpet pre-cleaning

The main point of carpet cleaning is pre-treatment. Be sure to remove large debris from the floor and vacuum the carpet thoroughly. To prevent the coating from absorbing dust during treatment, wash the floor under the carpet.

If the product is painted with bright colors, try Vanish on an inconspicuous area. If the paint has not washed out or faded, treatment can be carried out.

Also, during treatment, open the windows and take children and animals out of the room so that they do not inhale the vapors of the substance.

Anti-stain spray

You can clean home carpets and rugs using a special spray. The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove. The product is very convenient to use for treating carpets and furniture textile upholstery. An important requirement for work is that the canvas should not be wet before cleaning. Benefits of the spray:

• does not spoil the structure of fabric fibers;
• retains color;
• removes coffee, fruit and wine stains well;
• Cleaning takes little time.

The stain remover spray is not suitable for wet cleaning. It is not used to remove stains from velvet or silk, or on handmade linens.

If the stains are very old and stubborn, the spray may not be effective. In this case, it is better to use Vanish Active Foam aerosol. This product is highly effective. The aerosol can be used on areas of carpets that are in the most visible places and are often subject to contamination. It is very convenient to use it to treat carpets and paths on stairs or in corridors.

To remove dirt, the surface of the carpet is first cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, then an aerosol is sprayed onto the stain.

You can lightly scrub the stained area with a soft brush. Leave the product on for 5 minutes, then wipe thoroughly with a dry soft cloth.

When sprayed, a thick, light foam is formed. It penetrates well into the structure of the fibers and pushes all accumulated particles of dirt and dust to the surface of the pile. This stain remover can only clean small areas. It is not suitable for a large area.

Useful tips and tricks that will increase the effectiveness of the approach

A few simple tips will help you easily wash your carpet with a detergent stain remover at home:

• The use of Vanish is not allowed for coverings made from natural materials. They can only clean synthetic carpets or rugs.
• The carpet covering must be permanently dyed. To be on the safe side, you can test the effect of the product on the reverse side of the rug or in an inconspicuous part of it.
• To avoid an allergic reaction to the powder, work with Vanish only with rubber gloves.

• When applying carpet shampoo, you should start at the edges of the carpet and work your way toward the center.
• You should collect the product from the surface of the carpet using a vacuum cleaner not against the pile, but in the same direction, so as not to damage its structure.
• On a carpet with loop pile, you should not use a vacuum cleaner to collect the dirt that has been brought to the surface of the carpet. These types of carpets are prone to oversaturation with moisture and are more difficult to dry. You can remove any remaining shampoo using a slightly damp cloth.
• If the carpet has a very long pile, then it is better to avoid using liquid Vanish. It is unlikely that you will be able to remove shampoo residue from such a coating at home. In this case, a foamy product in spray form is ideal.

Dirt on the carpet spoils its appearance and allows pathogenic bacteria to multiply.

The following tips will allow you to clean upholstered furniture with Vanish and not damage the upholstery:

• If after cleaning with powder there are stains left, treat them with a soft cloth and clean with a vacuum cleaner.
• Do not use wood trim cleaner.
• Do not repeatedly apply a washing vacuum cleaner to the upholstery, so as not to destroy the structure of the fabric.
• Start cleaning on a small area of ​​the sofa, preferably behind its back.
• Vanish treatment with a steam cleaner will help to update the sofa.
• Strictly follow the instructions for the chosen product.

To extend the life of your sofa, use furniture covers. They are made of material that can be easily washed with a simple detergent.

Positive results will be maximally expressed, and the risk of damage to the product is minimal, if you take into account the following points:

1. Carpet can also be cleaned with Vanish, but only if the product contains synthetic additives. The humidity level should be minimal and drying should take longer.
2. After cleaning the carpet using household chemicals, it is recommended to vacuum the product at least 1-2 times a week.
3. Coating treatment must be carried out at the first sign of contamination; you should not accumulate dirt in order to “remove it later in one fell swoop.”
4. Work should be carried out in a well-ventilated area; this not only reduces the level of discomfort, but increases the effectiveness of the approach.

Shampoos for manual cleaning and vacuum cleaners

This chemical product will not only help remove dirt from the surface, but also get rid of animal hair and unpleasant odors. After treatment, the carpet pile becomes soft. The product is one of the most popular in the line. It combines moderate cost with high quality. How to use Vanish for carpet cleaning:

1. The carpet is thoroughly vacuumed before cleaning.
2. In a bucket or basin, dilute shampoo with water in a ratio of 1:9.
3. Foam is used for cleaning, so the mixture must be beaten as thoroughly as possible.
4. Take a small amount of foam onto a regular sponge or medium-hard brush and apply evenly to the carpet. There is no need to wet it before doing this.
5. Wait until it dries completely and vacuum the carpet again.

This shampoo is not suitable for handmade silk carpets.

In the situation with washing vacuum cleaners, a separate type of product is used. At home, it can be used to easily clean any dirt from carpets, rugs and furniture upholstery. In addition to dirt, shampoo eliminates unpleasant odors. After using it, the canvas looks much fresher and brighter than with regular manual cleaning. The pile of the product softens and remains that way for a long time. But if you don’t vacuum the carpet before you start cleaning, then dirty stains will remain on it. After finishing work, the product must be dried, otherwise mold will appear on it.

The procedure for processing a rug or furniture with Vanish:

1. Clean the surface first using a dry vacuum cleaner.
2. Dilute 1.5 caps of concentrate in 1 liter of water.
3. Pour the resulting mixture into the special compartment of the device.
4. Vacuum the carpet.
5. Allow the product to dry and clean it again with a vacuum cleaner without water.

Shampoo with an antibacterial effect is also available. It can be purchased in 450 ml bottles. It produces a very dense, rich foam.

The antibacterial component contained in the product is active against many types of pathogenic microorganisms. The disadvantages of this shampoo include its high toxicity.

Types of "Vanish" for carpet cleaning

Instructions for using Vanish for carpets vary depending on the type of product. The Vanish product line includes:

• shampoo: for manual carpet cleaning; a product with an antibacterial effect against difficult stains; special shampoo for use in washing vacuum cleaners;
• stain removal spray;
• carpet cleaning powder;
• active foam.

The compositions of these products are very similar. One of the main components is surfactants (surfactants), which break down dirt particles and allow them to be easily removed from surfaces.

The choice of product is determined by the degree of contamination of the coating and the characteristics of the material from which it is made. Let’s take a closer look at the general recommendations and features of using one or another type of “Vanish” for carpets.

Dry cleaning powder

Vanish powder does not need to be diluted with water. With its help you can clean and refresh a large area of ​​carpeting or furniture upholstery. The product will also help in removing dried stains. Thanks to its active components, it pushes dirt particles onto the surface of the pile, after which they can be easily removed in any convenient way.

The powder is good for manual cleaning. After its use, the product does not need to be dried. When vacuuming, Vanish quickly clogs up the dust container, so it is better to use disposable containers that can be replaced immediately after cleaning. To properly clean the surface with powder, you need:

1. Vacuum the carpet or furniture thoroughly.
2. Shake the packaging of the product well and scatter it over the contaminated surface. To distribute the powder evenly, you can use a brush.
3. Wait 20 minutes.
4. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the product along with dirt from the surface of the carpet.

Carpets with long pile will need to be vacuumed several times. This cleaning is done slowly and following the instructions for using Vanish for carpets and floors. If using the product for the first time, it is advisable to first test its effect on a small area.

Under the Vanish brand they produce many products designed for treating fleecy surfaces. On sale are stain removers for upholstered furniture and carpets, hand washing products, foam for furniture and curtains, and active concentrate with oxygen.

All of them are designed to treat the sofa from heavy dirt. Basically, they are reliable and do not damage the material covering the furniture.

To avoid damage to the fabric, before treating the sofa with Vanish, you should test the product on the upholstery.

To do this you should:

1. Apply the product. Vanish should be sprayed or applied to a hard-to-see area of ​​the sofa. If the foam becomes colored upon contact, it is advisable not to use Vanish.
2. Wait. It is recommended to leave the foam on the fabric for half an hour. After this time, wipe the surface with a light cloth.

User reviews

Those who want to clean the carpet with Vanish shampoo will have to spend a lot of effort and time, since everything is not as easy and simple as they show in advertising. I haven’t cleaned my carpet for 8 years. I decided to wash it as written in the instructions. I whipped up a thick foam and applied it with a sponge. The result was visible almost immediately. However, brushing took a lot of effort. After this, the carpet became wavy and wet. It took several days to dry. Once it dried it straightened out and started to look much better. I'm happy with the result.

I bought Vanish shampoo for manual carpet cleaning. I acted according to instructions. It was not possible to achieve such a stunning effect as in advertising. Of course, the carpet began to look fresher, but the same effect could have been achieved using ordinary soap or powder.

Elya, Vologda

I liked Vanish for carpet cleaning. It washes away dust, dirt, wool and hair well. But to get the effect, you need to act correctly. You should apply the shampoo as written in the instructions, then wait a few hours. Then you will need a special attachment for the vacuum cleaner - turbo or for knocking out dust, there should be rotating brushes inside. You need to vacuum very slowly. Dirt must be periodically removed from the nozzle. If it is possible to wash the carpet outside, then it is convenient to use a mini car wash. The foam is knocked down under water pressure, then the carpet is dried and vacuumed again.

Advantages and disadvantages

Every housewife, leaving money in household chemical stores, hopes for a good result and expects maximum return from the purchased product. But despite advertising, reviews and advice, you can learn about the possibilities, disadvantages and advantages of a purchase only after using it. What are the chances of “Vanish” getting a permanent “place of registration” among other domestic helpers? What is its advantage over other chemicals?

• Highly effective in combating dirt and stains. It seems he can do anything! Grease stains and cosmetics, brilliant green and iodine, blood, traces of drinks and grass... It is interesting to watch how the contamination disappears after applying Vanish, as if by magic.
• No chlorine! The absence of this, to put it mildly, unsafe component will protect your items and upholstery from loss of color.
• Smell. “Vanish” adds a light aroma, destroying all unpleasant odors.
• Safety. Products of this brand can be used by families with small children, as well as people suffering from allergies.
• Reasonable prices. Vanish brand products can be classified as mid-price. In addition, the manufacturer offers packaging of different weights, ranging from a 90g bag to one and a half kilogram buckets and three-liter bottles. As they say, for every taste and budget.
• Economical. Many housewives note that Vanish is used very sparingly: even a small amount copes well with the task.

Agree, it’s hard not to give in to temptation and buy a product with such wonderful qualities. But do not forget that the coin also has a flip side. Unfortunately, even the most modern, powerful and safe product has drawbacks.

• Alas! Not all dirt and stains can be cleaned with Vanish. Old, ingrained, dried out, they often cannot even be processed multiple times.
• Not all types of fabrics and upholstery can be treated with the stated product. This is especially true for expensive samples. Silk, brocade, velor, velvet will not tolerate even such a delicate approach.
• When caring for furniture, try to avoid contact of Vanisha with wooden and metal parts - this can ruin their appearance.
• The line of these products cannot be used for cleaning upholstery and leather or faux leather products.
