If the contamination is fresh, then the composition is applied and left to act for 10 minutes. If it is necessary to clean the entire surface of the sofa, Vanish is left for 7 hours.With heavily ingrained dirt, this time increases to a day. Then all that remains is to vacuum up the dirt.

Rules for cleaning the Vanish sofa
Stain removers from Vanish are popular due to their safe ingredients, lack of chlorine in the composition and economical consumption. Before you start cleaning the sofa with any product from the Vanish line, you should find out its purpose and nuances of use.
Antibacterial gel
In addition to cleansing the sofa from grease and stubborn dirt, the product actively removes odors and eliminates pathogenic microorganisms in the upholstery of upholstered furniture. The gel is used in the same way as shampoo.
Powder
It is used to gently dry clean a sofa with cotton upholstery in the presence of individual greasy stains. The powder is scattered over the dirty surface and rubbed into the fabric covering. After half an hour, treat the area with a vacuum cleaner. The dry method will not help to cope with old or complex stains, but it is ideal for systematic preventive cleaning of dust and recently appeared stains.
Vanish shampoo for manual cleaning
Serves to remove old and stubborn stains. First, make a solution of 1 part shampoo and 9 parts warm (+40 ° C) water. Whip the liquid until foamy. Foam is carefully applied to the covering, without rubbing it into the fabric, and left for 30-40 minutes. After this time, the treated area is vacuumed to remove traces of shampoo.
Spray
Convenient for quick superficial removal of fresh traces of food, tea, and cosmetics. Before using the spray, shake the bottle and then spray the product in a thin layer. After 5 minutes, wipe the dampened area dry with a clean cloth, then vacuum it.
Proper coating treatment
In the process of working with Vanish you will need:
- foam rubber or cellulose sponge;
- brush with medium hardness;
- clean rags with moisture-absorbing properties;
- vacuum cleaner;
- a pair of rubber gloves;
- pelvis
Preliminary cleaning of the carpet product from large debris and dust from the reverse side contributes to a more rational use of the cleaning agent and will also prevent the appearance of blurred spots. An exceptional option would be to clean the carpet outside. The benefits are obvious. If this is not possible, then ventilation is a must.
If the floor covering is of synthetic origin, devoid of natural fiber elements, you can safely use dry cleaning with Vanish Oxi Action powder. The only thing you should remember is a categorical refusal to use a washing vacuum cleaner and other types of wet cleaning. An ordinary vacuum cleaner is the only tool present in the work. The cleaning powder must be evenly distributed over the contaminated area requiring treatment. After 30 minutes, contaminated particles of the powdery product can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner.
Difficult stains require more careful manual treatment. In this case, it is better to use a cleaning agent dissolved in water. The product diluted in water in a ratio of 1 to 9 forms a strong foaming solution. Thoroughly whipped foam will become the main cleaning tool. Foam applied to a sponge or brush requires uniform distribution over the surface to be cleaned. The substance, rubbed into the coating in a circular motion, is left for several hours to soak in. The holding time depends on the degree of surface contamination. During the treatment procedure, the remaining product should be collected along the fibers to avoid destruction of the material structure. A little pressure on the brush will not smear the dirt
When working, it is very important not to use brushes with loop bristles. It is better to replace them with a damp rag
Quick drying of the carpet and the absence of putrefactive processes are ensured.
Old stains of organic origin are quite difficult to remove. Therefore, pre-applying the concentrate to the stain will make this task easier.
To effectively remove stubborn dirt, use Vanish manual carpet cleaning shampoo. This shampoo is also convenient to use when cleaning upholstery. The cleanliness and freshness after treatment with Vanish shampoo is undeniable. The fragrances present in the shampoo leave a pleasant aroma in the room and a desire to use this product again. If the area to be treated is large and requires frequent maintenance, it is preferable to purchase a 750 ml package. For standard household cleaning, you can limit yourself to 450 ml. A moderately moistened coating will not shrink during processing and will retain its original appearance. Wet processing of the product requires its isolation for the period of the cleaning procedure, since during this time the product reacts actively with dirt.
Vanish spray is the most practical form of application of the product. It is always at hand and does not require extra time. The solution contained in the bottle is ready for use. It is convenient to use not only on carpets, but also on soft upholstery. Having released a stream of product onto a contaminated surface, there is no doubt about the effective cleaning ability of the spray. The foam that appears as a result of circular movements can easily cope with any type of dirt and stubborn stains. The degree of contamination of the treated surface determines the amount of product used and the exposure time. Remaining product is simply removed with a damp sponge.

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.

Helpful tips for using cleaning products
Many housewives advise, after vacuuming, to additionally wipe the carpet with a damp cloth in order to completely remove the remaining product. And it is right! Then it won’t be scary to walk barefoot, and children will enjoy playing on the product without harm to their health.
Vanish cannot be used to clean silk carpets.
The biggest mistake housewives make when cleaning carpets is applying Vanish for a very long time, namely, several hours. This is strictly prohibited! The instructions spell out in large letters and numbers the optimal amount and how long to keep Vanish on the carpet. Otherwise, there is a possibility of damage to the product and no dry cleaning will help. And don’t forget about the beauty and health of your delicate hands; it is advisable to work with this product while wearing rubber gloves.
Release form
Vanish is available in the form:
- Dry cleaning powder
- Shampoo
- Spray
Each of the listed forms has its own advantages and operating features. Dry finishing of floor coverings is common. Vanish Oxi Action dry powder consists of fine grains that act as an abrasive. The powder easily penetrates deep into the villi, binding dirt elements. It is the small particles of Vanish that do the most difficult work. All that remains is to remove the contaminated powder with a vacuum cleaner.
In cases where more thorough treatment of the carpet is required, manufacturers recommend using a liquid form of the drug in the form of shampoo or spray. Deeper cleaning of the pile always requires moisturizing. When working, you should follow the instructions for using these forms, and also monitor the level of moisture in the carpet. Excess moisture promotes the development of rotting processes, causing an unpleasant odor that is difficult to get rid of over a long period of time.

Methods for removing various stains on carpets
In addition to various cleaning methods, which must be carried out regularly, there are ways to remove different types of stains. If a child smears plasticine on the carpet, guests spill wine, or your beloved dog puts meat juice, you need to act immediately:
- Fruit stains can be removed by a mixture of laundry soap and apple cider vinegar in proportions 1:1 and diluted in 1 liter of water. The product is applied to the stain, gently rubbed in, and then removed with clean water.
- Coffee stains can be removed with dishwashing liquid. Fresh stains should be slightly wetted, add a couple of drops of gel, rub and rinse with water. Hydrogen peroxide and even beer cope well with this task.
- Glycerin will help remove long-standing traces of coffee. It is applied to the stain and left overnight, and washed off in the morning with a detergent solution.
- Grease stains are removed efficiently with a mixture of salt and alcohol (1:4). The product is rubbed several times in the direction of the pile. Not so quickly, but it is possible to remove traces of fat with chalk with talcum powder, tooth powder or starch. Pour the powder onto the stain and let it sit for a little over an hour, then vacuum the coating.
- To remove wax, paraffin, chewing gum, and plasticine, we use the cold method. We apply ice in the bag to the problem area to bring it to a solid state, and then remove it with a knife or scraper. Sometimes they use a completely opposite method - a cloth or napkin is applied to a drop of the substance, and a hot iron is passed over it. The disposal item must remain on the fabric.
- Blood stains can only be removed with cold water. We soak it, if it’s dry, soak it, take shaving cream and rub it into the stain. You can take a soda solution, hydrogen peroxide or ammonia. After a certain period of time, wash everything off with a sponge.
- Stains on carpets with a dark surface can be easily removed with table salt or lemon juice.
- Salt can also be used on red wine stains. The cleaning area must be quickly filled with wine, but only white, and moistened with cold water. The next step is salt in unlimited but reasonable quantities. We cover the stain with it, leave it and vacuum it after 15 minutes.
To remove stains from ballpoint pens and felt-tip pens, use alcohol or a solution of glycerin and liquid soap.
