Features of application for different types of coating
Use the product only in accordance with the instructions. For leather or velor, it is recommended to use the appropriate type of Vanish, since it can damage the coating or simply not remove the stain.
Fabric
Clean fabric upholstery in the same way as clothing. For this:
- Mix 1 spoon of the substance with 2.5 liters of water.
- Apply the substance to the dirt.
- Leave to act for 3-4 hours.
- If the stain is old, first apply Vanish powder or gel and brush it out.
Genuine leather and its substitute
To clean such material without damaging it, use a steam cleaner or a vacuum cleaner. For skin, use shampoo: dilute it with water and pour it into a special container. Then steam and let dry naturally.
Suede
Cleaning suede requires a special approach, so handle it very carefully. To avoid damaging the pile, use active foam or spray. After applying the product, rub the surface with gentle movements. The best tool is a suede brush. After treating the surface, allow the material to dry without using a vacuum cleaner.
Made from velor
To avoid damaging the pile bevel, clean the material by hand, without a steam cleaner or vacuum cleaner. Use only active foam, apply it in a thin layer to the velor and work with a soft sponge towards the bevel of the pile. Follow all rules for cleaning velor furniture.
From flock
The flock can be pre-cleaned from dust using a vacuum cleaner, but only with a rubber attachment. It is recommended to remove grease and blood stains with a spray or foam. In this case, move the sponge from the edge to the center so as not to smear the dirt. After treatment, dry the surface with dry wipes.
Additional Tips
To make your furniture sparkle clean again, you need to follow some rules. These include the following:
After treatment, the furniture should dry naturally, that is, without the help of a hairdryer, iron or heating devices.
If you do not want to damage the pile made of delicate fabric, then it is better not to use the vacuum cleaner too often. In such a situation, the surface can simply be wiped with a damp cloth treated with soapy water. Treat furniture with a steamer from time to time. This will prevent ticks from appearing. Ventilate the furniture. This can be done in summer or spring. Follow the instructions for Vanish

How to clean a sofa with Vanish without streaks
To completely remove a stain from a sofa, you need to use a product appropriate for the type of stain and follow the instructions.
From dust and dirt
Dust and dirt can be removed with almost any means, be it spray or powder. The main thing is not to damage the surface of the sofa, which means it is recommended to clean materials such as velor or suede only with dry powder.
Grease stain
If oil or fat gets on the fabric, the main thing is not to let it absorb deeply, otherwise it will be difficult to remove such contamination. You can slow down the absorption a little with salt or starch, but this should be done immediately after the fat reaches the surface.
To remove greasy stains, it is recommended to use a spray or active foam. Apply to the stained area and let sit for 20-40 minutes. Then remove excess product with a dry sponge. When the oil is deeply absorbed, use the powder, first combining it with water to form a paste. Also let it soak and remove with a damp cloth.
Milk stain
Bacteria multiply quickly in milk, why? If the stain is not treated in time, the furniture will begin to emit unpleasant odors. Use an antibacterial shampoo to remove stains and get rid of stench. After absorption, remove the product with a vacuum cleaner and dry.
Wine stain
To remove wine stains from the surface of the sofa, you must immediately prevent deep absorption. Sprinkle fresh dirt with salt or starch and allow to absorb excess moisture for 20–40 minutes. Then remove the remaining salt with a dry sponge or rag and apply Vanish shampoo so that the product is well absorbed. After about 1 hour, dry the surface with a vacuum cleaner.
Coffee stain
Coffee stains are quite difficult to remove with conventional means, but Vanish can correct the situation, although it will take a lot of time. To remove coffee from the surface, use shampoo or active foam, depending on the degree of contamination. Rub the upholstery with a sponge until completely clean, and then remove any remaining dirt with a dry cloth.
Fruit stain
Jam or jam is absorbed into the material to a lesser extent than wine, but to remove stains you will need to repeat the cleaning procedure several times. Apply Vanish to the surface of the sofa and clean the contaminated area using a sponge in a circular motion. Remove any remaining substance and repeat the procedure.
Marker and ballpoint pen marks
The density of the ink does not allow it to quickly penetrate deep into the material, but it is difficult to remove it from the surface of the furniture. The best option to remove marks from a ballpoint pen is spray or active foam. The instructions for use are standard, but you will have to repeat the procedure more than once.
Blood
The faster you treat the bloody stain, the faster you will get rid of it. The best remedy for blood stains is Vanish powder diluted with water. If the blood stain is old, then apply the paste, let it absorb and remove with a dry cloth, then repeat the procedure until the desired result is achieved.
Urine and urine smell
You can remove urine stains and smell by treating furniture with antibacterial powder or spray. Apply the product to the damaged area and let it absorb. Then rub the surface with a hard sponge and remove excess product with a dry cloth.
Reviews
Those who plan to use Vanish for carpets will be interested in reviews from people who have already used products from this brand.
Oksana, 43 years old, Kyiv
I bought Vanish carpet spray to remove a stain from gouache that my daughter spilled on the carpet. The stain was small and I didn’t want to take the carpet to the dry cleaner because of it. The product captivated me with the opportunity to use it on furniture upholstery (our furniture also often suffers from children’s artistic touches). After the first application the stain faded a little, after the second there was no effect at all. Completely disappointed! The product is ineffective and does not justify its high price.
Sergey, 36 years old, Orsk
I would like to share my impressions of using Vanish powder for carpets. Great product! The carpet is like new! If before I had to constantly take it to the dry cleaner, now to get it back clean, I just need to turn on the vacuum cleaner and make a couple of movements. I recommend to everyone!
Olga, 25 years old, Krasnoyarsk
Vanish shampoo for carpets can only refresh the carpet and remove foreign odors. It cannot cope with serious pollution.
Marusya, 32 years old, Ural
We are happy with Vanish, we use the entire line: we wash and clean. And my grandmother likes it.
How to clean a sofa with Vanish without a vacuum cleaner

- sweep away the crumbs with a brush;
- soak a piece of cloth in water and wring it out well;

How to clean a mattress with Vanish
Due to the complex structure of the mattress, cleaning it is quite problematic. The type of Vanish product will depend on the depth of soiling of the mattress. If you need to remove a stain on the surface of the fabric, then use foam or powder. To deep clean the mattress, use a spray or shampoo. These products are well absorbed into the material and remove dirt, but do not forget to dry the mattress so that the smell of rot does not appear.
Is it possible to clean a sofa with Vanish for carpets?
You can only use a carpet cleaner when cleaning a sofa if the surface of the sofa is not made of suede, velor, velvet or plush. Such material requires an individual approach, and if the product is used for other purposes, the structure of the upholstery can be damaged. Before using Vanish for carpets on furniture, carefully read the instructions so as not to worsen the condition of your sofa.
A special place in the Vanish range of products is occupied by a line of products designed for cleaning furniture upholstery. All substances have a special composition that copes well with various contaminants and gives products freshness and aroma.
What to do if the remedy did not help?
Judging by customer reviews, Vanish for carpets has not helped everyone. And this is not surprising, because sometimes even professional dry cleaning cannot cope with stains that they have already tried to remove on their own.
Therefore, before you start treating the emerging contaminants, you should weigh the pros and cons, and then make the right decision.
Cleaning industry experts do not recommend starting cleaning yourself if:
- old stains and unknown location;
- there are old and heavily greasy places;
- There are places where pets constantly defecate.
In such cases, special equipment, professional detergents and stain removers are used.
