If there are small children and pets in the house, they should not be allowed into the room during treatment.

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.

How to use Vanish for carpets

The procedure involves applying foam to the surface for a certain time. To get the desired consistency of foam, mix 1 part shampoo with 9 parts water. Shake the liquid thoroughly until a strong foam forms and apply to the surface.

Stain remover spray

The spray is intended for local stain removal. Use it only on heavily soiled areas and not on the entire surface of the carpet. Apply the substance to the stain using a spray bottle so that it is completely covered with the substance. Then leave Vanish on the surface to act for 30-40 minutes.

Cleaning powder

Carpet cleaning powder does not require dilution in water or additional moistening, since it is produced already slightly damp.

Active foam
