Every person at least once in his life has encountered stains on clothes, carpets, and furniture. Sometimes they cannot be washed off with regular powder. Liquid stain remover “Vanish” will help eliminate stains of various types; instructions for using the product will help you avoid mistakes. "Vanish" is a trademark of the British and Dutch company Reckitt Benckiser. Their home, care and hygiene products are sold all over the world. In Russia, the brand became famous in 1994 thanks to its bleaches and stain removers.
Vanish: general characteristics, composition and release form
Vanish product is one of the most purchased in the world.
It gained its popularity due to its high efficiency, versatility and large assortment. The main distinguishing feature of all products of this brand is the absence of chlorine in the composition. This reduces the risk of developing allergies and reduces the negative impact on the human body. Most specialists allow the use of this popular product for processing children's things. You can use a stain remover only after carefully studying its composition. This will help avoid unwanted consequences and protect fabric products from losing their attractive appearance. For all types of Vanish, the composition will be approximately the same. It will necessarily contain the following components:
- Zeolites. These minerals break down fat and help remove it from fabric fibers.
- Enzymes. Such components are enzymes that can remove stains from any food.
- Nonionic surfactants (surfactants). They reduce the negative impact of chemicals on fabric and protect it from loss of quality.
- Anionic surfactants. They are organic compounds that help relieve static tension.
- Various bleaches. These chemical components are saturated with active oxygen, which helps to quickly remove even the most difficult stains.
Manufacturers are trying to diversify their products and create the most effective products for each type of fabric. Because of this, you can find many types of Vanish on store shelves.
Release forms:
- powder;
- spray;
- gel;
- liquid concentrate;
- active foam;
- gel capsules.
Tips and tricks
Instructions and the exact dosage of stain remover can be found on the back of Vanish. Clothing and textile cleaning professionals recommend:
- Wash colored, white and black laundry separately. This is explained by the fact that due to the corrosive composition of the powder, light-colored fabrics will stain and fade.
- It is recommended to wash underwear by hand. Before washing with stain remover by hand, be sure to stock up on rubber gloves. This way you can protect the skin of your hands from toxic compounds in the composition and prevent allergies.
- It is not recommended to use stain remover unless absolutely necessary. The aggressive composition contributes to the erosion of fabric, thinning of its fibers, and fading of color.
- Before washing children's clothes, it is better to choose gentle formulations. The product is applied pointwise to contaminated areas and rinsed many times.
“Vanish” is stored in places away from children and animals. After treatment, the room must be ventilated to prevent allergies and toxic compounds from entering the lungs.
In addition to clothes and carpets, the stain remover is used when washing furniture, car covers, and textiles. Contraindicated materials are satin, velvet, and corduroy fabrics. The furniture is cleaned with a small amount of liquid Vanish, left for 10 minutes, and blotted with dry material. Car seat covers and seats are cleaned in a similar way.

Which one to choose for different types of washing?
To achieve maximum effect, you need to choose the right stain remover.
Features to consider:
- To get rid of gray things, products containing bleach are suitable. Such packages bear the inscription “crystal white”. These stain removers contain active ingredients that make fabrics several shades whiter.
- To remove stubborn stains, for example from soil, vegetable oil, grass, it is recommended to use products from the “Gold” series. Their enhanced formula allows you to carefully and quickly remove even the most difficult stains.
- To get rid of stains containing a protein component (ice cream, milk, sebum, chicken eggs, etc.), it is recommended to use Vanish spray. Such stains should be washed only in cold water. Treating them at high temperatures will cause the stains to change their chemical formula, making them more difficult to remove. Vanish spray allows you to get rid of dirt even at low temperatures.
- Liquid products in the form of gels should be used for washing items made from delicate fabrics. Such stain removers are used to care for wool, silk, linen, etc. A powder product is suitable for cleaning other fabrics.
Products that contain bleach should not be used on colored items. This may lead to their damage.
Shampoo for washing vacuum cleaners: instructions and reviews
Shampoo for washing vacuum cleaners has a slightly different composition. The active components contained in the mixture for manual cleaning can significantly damage the internal elements of cleaning equipment, so preserving parts from corrosion and chemical exposure has become one of the main tasks of such Vanish products. This type of stain remover has standard packaging - a 450 ml bottle.
As with regular shampoos, the instructions for use suggest first normal vacuuming, and only then using the product itself. To do this, mix ½ cap with warm water and fill the tank with the resulting liquid. Upon completion of cleaning, you should wait until the coating dries. Then use a vacuum cleaner to remove any foam that may remain after using Vanish shampoo.
The stain remover, whose customer reviews were divided approximately 50/50, did an “excellent job” of cleaning colored carpets, but it was not possible to clean light-colored carpets even after repeated cleaning. The smell of the shampoo is quite pleasant, but somewhat harsh - the room must be ventilated after use.
Precautionary measures
To safely and efficiently clean things with Vanish, you need to follow the following precautions:
- If there are doubts that Vanish can spoil the quality of the item, you need to test it on the back of the product, in the most inconspicuous place.
- It is necessary to ensure that the stain remover does not get on the metal elements of the item. This applies to buttons, rivets, zippers, etc.
- The product should be stored out of the reach of children.
- Vanish should not be allowed to get into your eyes. If this happens, they need to be washed with plenty of water and see a doctor.
- Vanish should not be combined with other products containing chlorine.
- It is recommended to use gloves while working. If the product gets on your skin, rinse it with plenty of water.
- The fabric with the composition applied to it should be in a dark place. Do not expose the soaked stain to sunlight or leave the product near heat sources.
- The stain remover package must be kept closed.
The product must be kept out of the reach of small children. If stain remover gets inside the body, you need to call an ambulance and show doctors the label with the composition.

Soaking is carried out according to the following scheme:

The measuring spoon can only be returned to the jar in dry form.

Adding Vanish to each wash will allow you to get a more effective wash result.
Gel
Like the powder, the gel can be used to soak, pre-treat stains, and enhance the effect when washing.
Treating stains before washing:
- Apply a small amount of product to the stain.

Spray
Using a carpet cleaning spray is very simple:
- Remove dirt and debris from the carpet.

For example, gel capsules are recommended for use exclusively for washing clothes in a washing machine, and special carpet cleaning products should not be used when removing stains from clothes.

At the same time, these forms of release have a fairly high consumption, which is not very convenient when removing large-scale contaminants.
Benefits of carpet cleaning with Vanish products.
Carpet cleaning is a difficult and tedious job. However, the composition of Vanish for carpets is selected in this way
that using these products when cleaning carpets makes the job much easier.
- Vanish shampoo is recommended for deep cleaning of carpets. This cleaning agent must be mixed with water, then applied to the surface of the carpet and wait until it dries completely (and this must be done in a ventilated room). Finally, the carpet should be vacuumed thoroughly.
- Moistened Vanish powder should be applied to the surface of the carpet, and when it dries, remove the excess with a vacuum cleaner. There is no need to use water during the cleaning process with this cleaner.
- Vanish stain remover in spray form is designed for cleaning furniture upholstery, car seats and carpets. This product is great for topical stain removal. You just need to spray the product onto the stained areas, wait a few minutes, and then remove the stain remover with a sponge.
Not all modern cleaning products effectively remove various stains. The same cannot be said about Vanisha. This stain remover can be used on any surfaces, such as furniture upholstery, carpets, car seats, covers and other textile surfaces. Vanish is extremely effective and very convenient to use.
Stain remover "Vanish" is designed to clean textiles from various contaminants and can be used for washing colored and white items at low and high temperatures. The manufacturer notes that it is not recommended to replace regular washing powders with it, since this product has a high concentration of active substances and is only suitable for additional cleaning. To achieve maximum effect, before using Vanish stain remover, you must carefully read the instructions.
How to use Vanish
The use of powder or liquid products is carried out in different ways, depending on the degree of contamination of things and the composition of the fabrics. Clothes are treated with normal washing methods, and stains are removed from carpets in a variety of ways, depending on the form of the stain remover.
Before starting any treatment, you should carefully read the instructions for use of the product. It is advisable to test the composition on a small area of the product being processed in order to exclude possible damage to the entire item.
Removing stains from clothes and linen
Powdered stain remover can be used for hand and machine washing:
- When soaking and hand washing, you need to dissolve 3-4 scoops in 10 liters of warm water, immerse the laundry in the solution and leave for several hours. The duration of soaking depends on the degree of contamination. During the process, it is necessary to carefully wash away any existing stains by hand until they disappear completely.
- When machine washing, add one scoop of product to the compartment with regular powder. Washing is done in a suitable mode, but at elevated temperatures you can expect the most positive results.
- It is recommended to apply powder diluted to a paste-like consistency to individual stains, leave for 10 minutes, and then you can wash the item in a suitable mode or by hand.
It should be noted that different types of contaminants may take different times to completely remove. Some stains are removed only after repeated treatments, while fresh stains are usually removed the first time. For heavy, old stains, it is recommended to soak items in a solution with a stain remover, pouring the concentrated solution over the stain before putting the items in the washing machine. For the effect to last, you need to additionally add a little Vanish to the regular powder in the washing machine compartment.
When washing automatically, it is very convenient to use gel capsules. This innovative type of stain remover does not differ significantly from powders and liquid types of the product, but its use in the washing machine is due to the placement of the capsule directly into the drum. Do not immerse capsules in the detergent compartment, since the shell covering the gel will not have time to dissolve when pouring water. After the shell dissolves, a regular gel appears in the drum, which is used for washing.
Carpet stain removers
Before treating stains on carpets, you should thoroughly vacuum the floor covering. Various forms of products available for removing stains from carpets allow you to choose the most convenient option for yourself:
- Moistened powder. It is necessary when cleaning large areas of carpet. The product helps remove stubborn and old stains. Before starting treatment, you need to thoroughly shake the Vanish package, then evenly sprinkle the product onto the contaminated areas. The composition should dry on the carpet for 20–30 minutes.
- Spray. It is sprayed onto the stain, left to act for 5 minutes, and then removed with a damp cloth or sponge.
- Shampoo for manual cleaning. It is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10, thoroughly whisk the solution until foam forms. The foam is applied with a sponge to the dirty areas and left there until completely dry.
- Shampoo for washing vacuum cleaners. It is diluted with water, as with manual shampooing. The composition is poured into a special compartment of the vacuum cleaner, then the carpet is treated.
- Active foam. It is sprayed onto areas of contamination and left until completely dry.
