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.

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.

Brand history

The American company Ecolab released the first stain remover in 1972. This product was found to be quite effective and quickly gained popularity both among housewives and among owners of laundries and dry cleaners. Later, Reckitt Benckiser received a patent for the production of washing powder; it bought all rights to manufacture Vanish from Ecolab.

After the transfer to a new owner, the brand became even more popular, and demand for it increased several times. Today, the stain remover is sold in 60 countries, including the Russian Federation. Its market first introduced the product in 1994, and in just a few months the first batch of products was sold out. Over time, production expanded , and they began to produce the cleaning substance in the Russian Federation, using American raw materials.

Vanish is available in several forms:

spray for quick stain removal;
Vanish Oxy Action for washing colored laundry - sold in powder and liquid form;
shampoo and liquid gel for carpet cleaning;
bleach for bed linen and clothing.

You can recognize the product by its characteristic packaging: the powder is produced in a round pink jar, gels and shampoos are in tall bottles of the same color, and white plastic containers are made for the bleach. The kit includes a measuring spoon or cap with graduations.

What to do if the remedy did not help?

Once the product has been chosen, you should think about the equipment without which it will be impossible to achieve good results.

What you will need:

plastic bucket 5 l;
soft foam sponge;
medium hard hand brush;
hygroscopic cloth to collect moisture;
household vacuum cleaner;
household gloves.

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.

Tips and tricks

Important recommendations to improve the process of cleaning fabric from stains:

Vanish powder should not be used to remove stains from leather, wool, suede or silk. Failure to follow this recommendation may result in damage to the product.
The smaller the stain remover package, the cheaper the product cost.
However, you won't be able to save money this way. In terms of financial savings, it is more profitable to buy a large pack.
To remove textured stains, such as clay or soil, you need to let them dry and then use a brush to remove any stains or dirt.
Sometimes something needs to be cleaned from the inside. When the opportunity arises, resort to bleach.
It is better to remove oily stains with hot water, but only if they do not contain a protein component.
The sooner you start treating the stain with Vanish, the faster you can get rid of it. Old contaminants eat into the fibers more strongly.
Before you start cleaning, you need to read the information on caring for the item.
It is available on special labels that are attached to its reverse side. The choice of stain remover will depend on this. For example, some fabrics cannot be machine washed, while others cannot be washed in hot water.

Vanish Gold Oxi Action Gels

Vanish Gold Oxi Action in gel form is considered a successful new product among stain removers. The thick form allows the active ingredients to better penetrate the texture of the fabric, which means that removing stains using such products will be faster and more effective.

Options for using Vanish gel products:

For pre-treatment, apply 20 ml of Vanish gel to the stain. Rub the area treated with gel (you can use the bottom of a measuring cup for this). Then fill the measuring cap and put it in the washing machine with your clothes.
When soaking, use 60 ml of product per 4 liters of water.

Table: comparison of Vanish Gold gels

The main distinguishing characteristic of Vanish liquid stain removers is the ability to use them to remove stains on delicate fabrics, wool and silk. The diluted formula of these products compared to powder makes the cleaning procedure safe.

The measuring cup of Vanish stain remover has certain bulges that are convenient for treating the stain.

Before using Vanish stain remover, pay attention to the following recommendations:

Study the labels on clothing. Should not be used on items marked "dry clean only".
For use on colored items, first test the color reaction of the fabric on an inconspicuous area.
Do not allow the stain remover to dry on the textile.

When using oxygen bleaches, you must follow the following safety precautions:

Keep out of the reach of children.

Taken together, these substances remove all types of stains - both fresh and old, but they are not suitable for washing wool and silk items. The powder stain remover is packaged in a convenient jar complete with a measuring spoon that allows you to dose the product correctly.

With the help of Vanish powder, you don’t need to soak and scrub soiled items for hours - just add it to water and start washing.

Liquid stain remover "Vanish" includes oxygen-containing bleach, anionic and nonionic surfactants, phosphates, cinnamal, citronellol and flavorings. It does not contain chlorine, so fabrics do not become thinner or turn yellow after its use. Before using a liquid product on colored items, it is advisable to test it on a small area of fabric to determine the fastness of the dye. Liquid Vanish cannot be used for washing items with metal or wood trim, however, it perfectly removes stains of paint, brilliant green, garnet, iodine, grease, mold and wine.

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.

Proper Use

When washing by hand, you need to add one scoop of Vanish to ten liters of water and begin removing stains and dirt. When machine washing or removing old stains, you need to add one scoop of stain remover to the appropriate compartment of the washing machine, adding it with a simple washing powder.

If Vanish foam remover is used for everyday machine washing of clothes, it is enough to add only 0.5 measuring spoon to the machine.

When soaking, one scoop of stain remover is diluted in four liters of water. If stains are difficult to remove, you can use two scoops. Things are soaked in water with a solution dissolved in it, left there for a while, after which they are washed and dried. If there are stubborn stains, you need to dissolve 1/8 measuring spoon in 0.5 liters of water, apply the solution to the stain and leave it for six hours (colored items are soaked strictly for one hour). After the allotted time, the items are thoroughly washed and rinsed under running water. You can also dilute Vanish stain remover to the consistency of a paste, immediately apply it to the stain, wait until the product takes effect, and then wash well.

Sooner or later, any housewife is faced with the need to bleach yellowed things. There are several types of bleaches and each of them has its own characteristics of use.

Everyone has white things. And in the process of use and wear, the beautiful white color either “washes out” and takes on a dirty tint, or simply turns yellow from the influence of any factors. We can and should fight this. The main thing is to know the correct technology for bleaching fabrics, depending on the type of bleach chosen.

Chlorine-containing bleaches are considered the most famous and oldest. Our mothers and grandmothers also bleached linen tablecloths with chlorine. When using chlorine-containing products, you should remember that they have a very aggressive composition, which explains their actual effectiveness. It is strictly not recommended to use products containing chlorine for bleaching thin and delicate fabrics. Their frequent use is also not recommended, since chlorine has a destructive effect on the fiber structure. It is best to use this bleach a couple of times a year for linen or cotton fabrics and for removing stains on thick white denim or linen tablecloths.

When used, chlorine bleach is applied directly to the stain and left for half an hour before washing. For comprehensive bleaching, the recommended amount of product is added to the washing water and washed at the highest possible temperature or boiling.

Where to pour the liquid product

Each washing machine has a special compartment or container for putting powder or pouring bleach. Typically, it consists of three parts (compartments), each of which is designed for a specific purpose.

Depending on the type of laundry loaded into the machine, the ditch is located either on its front or top cover. For top-loading models, it is usually on the inner door cover located at the top. Usually the tray has a button to make it easier to take out and wash.

In most washing machines, the smallest compartment is made for rinse aids, softeners, conditioners and antistatic agents. There is a strip on it that limits the required amount of the substance; sometimes there is a warning “Max” or other markings - a flower or an asterisk, the word “Softener”, etc.

The second compartment is usually medium in size and is intended for pre-washing or soaking. Nothing is poured into it, but only washing powder. This sector is either on the left or right in the ditch. It is usually denoted by the letter "A" or "I".

The largest compartment is the washing sector marked “B” or “II”. In the absence of markings, you can identify this compartment visually - it is larger than the others. Gel detergents, shampoos, stain removers, bleaches, or washing powders are poured into it. Depending on the design of the machine, its model and manufacturer, the location of the compartments in the container depends.

Modern washing units usually have a special program called “Whitening”. Linen is sorted before washing: it is recommended to wash underwear first - T-shirts, bodices, panties. Towels are not washed with bed linen, but tulle is not washed with clothes. White fabrics are also washed separately from colored ones. T-shirts and socks can be bleached together if they are cotton.

Instructions for use

The newest detergent has more pros than cons. Young housewives choose capsules because they are very easy to use. When adding laundry, you need to remember that 1 tablet should be placed on 4-5 kg of dry laundry.

The silicone from which the shell is made quickly dissolves in water, so the capsules should not be taken with wet hands. The skin on your hands will be damaged if the concentrated gel from the gel container gets on it.

The rules for using laundry capsules are simple:

put all dirty laundry in the drum;
a capsule is placed on top of things;
place it near the back wall of the drum;
select the desired program;
start the wash.

After the end of the regime, the laundry is taken out of the machine and hung up.

How to remove a Vanish stain

If you do not follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging regarding restrictions on the use of stain remover for silk, leather or wool products, there is a risk of acquiring new marks on the fabric. It sounds like nonsense, but in this case you have to look for a way how and with what to remove the Vanish stain. Having spoiled the item by ignoring the manufacturer’s recommendations, you can further experiment or go to dry cleaning. For those who do not want to give up and decided to continue the fight against marks, but now with a stain remover, you can:

on white things, try “Adrilan” (a product for cleaning plumbing fixtures), pouring it slightly beyond the edges of the stain that has formed, leaving it for 2-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly;
give up the idea of removing the stains that have formed and try to paint the product, achieving a uniform distribution of the dye;
leave the product for work at your summer cottage or throw it in the trash.

Before deciding to use a stain remover, everyone should know how to wash with Vanish for stains, so as not to complain about the product on forums, keeping silent about laziness and the traditional “maybe” that prevented you from studying the instructions for use.

To achieve maximum effect, you should carefully study the rules for washing with Vanish liquid products. The stain remover, instructions for use of which are given below, requires strict adherence to the dosage - this way you will be insured against unwanted damage to things:

1. In the washing machine:

Take 1 capful of liquid stain remover and place it in the washing machine;

Set the required temperature and program.

2. Soaking and hand washing:

Dissolve 1 capful of product in 4 liters of water and soak the laundry;

Soak colored items for no more than 1 hour, white items for no more than 6 hours;

Lightly scrub your clothes before washing.

Neither powder nor liquid products should be allowed to dry on any type of clothing. Otherwise, things may become irretrievably damaged, since, despite the selection of possibly more gentle components, the substances in Vanish products still have a fairly active base.

Stains on clothes, home textiles and carpets are an eternal problem in every home. It is very easy to get confused in the variety of folk remedies for removing stains of different origins; it is not easy to choose the right ingredients and in the right proportion. In this case, there is always a risk of removing the color of the fabric along with the stain. In this case, commercial stain removers will come to the rescue; if used correctly, they can cope with almost any stain, including old ones. Vanish is one of the most famous stain removers. Manufacturers of this brand offer a wide range of products against dirt on clothes and carpets.

Operating principle

Vanish bleach perfectly cleans fabrics and can remove local stains. It contains hydrogen peroxide and various additives. Upon contact with damp fabric, chemical decomposition occurs with the active release of oxygen. Oxygen oxidizes dirt without destroying the structure of fabric fibers.

Advantages

The quality of a product does not depend on its price. Affordability is a key feature. In addition to the affordable price, the product has the following advantages:

Oxygen bleach can be used as a dry powder, spray, or liquid gel. Regardless of the form of release, “Vanish” dissolves perfectly in water and is immediately rinsed after washing.

Flaws

As consumers note, Vanish does not always cope with old stains, for example, from oil or fuel oil. It will take some time to remove stains from clothes.

For the product to work, you must thoroughly treat the contaminated area with it and leave for an hour. It is advisable to add a little powder or gel to the water before washing. Double use will enhance the effect.

Features of application

Bleach contains sodium percarbonate. This element begins to disintegrate into components at temperatures of 50⁰C and above. The reaction is accompanied by a strong release of oxygen, which corrodes the dirt. Washing at low temperatures prevents chemical reactions. On the other hand, the enzymes included in the composition work at temperatures no higher than 40⁰C.

For bleach to work well, you need to choose the right washing program. Initially, you should wash the item in low temperature water. Subsequent washing should be done in hot water.

Oxygen bleach has a detrimental effect on pathogenic microorganisms. During washing, hydrogen peroxide is released, which has excellent properties. Bleach for colored and white laundry perfectly washes and refreshes fabrics.

Liquid stain remover Vanish Oxy Action

This stain remover is a cheaper version of the powder stain remover with a reduced amount of bleaching ingredients. However, it also works on most stains. Liquid Vanish consists of:

oxygen bleach (5-15%)
nonionic and anionic surfactants (5%)
phosphates
citronellol
cinnamalya
flavorings

The stain remover does not contain chlorine, so it does not affect the strength of the fabric and does not give a yellow tint to white things. Vanish can be used on both white and colored items, but you must first test the dye's fastness on a small, inconspicuous area. Customer reviews indicate that liquid Vanish perfectly removes stains from brilliant green, paint, machine oil, grease, iodine, wine, and pomegranate juice. Unlike its powder counterpart, it is suitable for both wool and silk, but cannot be used on items with wood or metal trim. You can even save things with mold stains with it!

Many housewives use Vanish a little differently. They apply it to the stain and leave it for several hours (no more than 6), and then wash it in the machine without it. You can’t leave soaked items for a long time; you can simply ruin them. Some people use liquid Vanish to remove fresh stains, for example from brilliant green, from linoleum. To do this, first wipe the stain with a wet sponge, and then pour Vanish on it for 10-15 minutes.

Feb 10, 2015 Wanessa

The Vanish brand, widely known on the Russian market, represents a series of stain removers for home and household use, owned by the British company Reckitt Benckiser. This organization is one of the leaders in the production and sale of household chemicals, household products, health and personal hygiene.

The popularity of the Vanish brand is explained by strict adherence to its goals:

Application of innovative solutions to produce products that help maintain health, comfort and cleanliness in the home;

Use of environmentally friendly raw materials;

Responsibility for decision making and results;

Studying customer needs and bringing these ideas to life.

Advantages and disadvantages

Manufacturers produce Vanish for white and colored items. In both cases, it will have several important advantages compared to other popular means. Among the most significant advantages are the following:

removes almost any stain;
suitable not only for hand washing, but also for machine washing;
it contains no harmful chlorine;
does not destroy the structure of the fabric;
safe for children;
easy to use.

Despite this, Vanish (powder, gel, spray) has several disadvantages. They must be taken into account before purchasing. Otherwise, you may encounter various problems.

Disadvantages of the product:

sometimes it removes dirt only the second or third time;
is difficult to wash off from some types of fabric;
has a high cost.

Instructions for using powder stain removers

Using the powder only as an additive is the main recommendation regarding Vanish products. The stain remover, the dosage instructions for which are given below, should not serve as the main detergent:

1. When machine washable:

— for stubborn and old stains, add 1 spoon of “Vanish” to the compartment with washing powder, for ordinary stains – ½ spoon;

— set the temperature and program required for this type of clothing.

2. For hand washing:

— dissolve 1 spoon of powder for old stains or ½ spoon for ordinary ones in several liters of warm water;

- leave the laundry to soak, rub before rinsing.

A good result when washing in a machine is guaranteed at a temperature of at least 30 C, when soaking - about 40 C.

You can also pre-treat stains with powder by mixing ¼ of the product and ¾ of a spoon of water. The resulting solution is distributed over the surface of the stain, left on the fabric for 15-20 minutes, then the item is rinsed.

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.

An important point is soaking, during which the processing time for colored items should not be more than one hour, otherwise the brightness of the colors may fade. White linen can be left in the solution for 6 hours.

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.

After treating carpets with any type of stain remover, you must thoroughly vacuum the treated surfaces to remove any remaining chemicals.

Instructions for using the stain remover are always included on the Vanish packaging. Experts in the field of textile processing advise:

Do not use stain removers on white and colored laundry at the same time. The corrosive composition of the product will certainly cause coloring of light-colored fabrics.
Use rubber gloves when hand washing. This will protect your hands from harmful chemicals and also help avoid allergic skin rashes.
Do not use stain removers unless absolutely necessary. Frequent washing with the use of such products adversely affects the composition of fabrics, the fibers are gradually destroyed, and the color fades.
Study the ingredients of products very carefully before processing children's things. If possible, avoid the use of chemicals or apply them directly to areas of special contamination.
Store stain removers in a dry place, out of the reach of children and animals.
Thoroughly ventilate the premises after using Vanish products to avoid allergic reactions when chemicals enter the respiratory system.

When using Vanish products, you must not only be careful, but also follow step-by-step instructions for use. Only in this case will the processing of products be safe, and stains will be removed most effectively.

Quality substitutes

Effective bleaches that are comparable to Vanish in quality include:

Amway Pre Fresh . The cost of this product is about 590 rubles per 400 ml. Its main advantage is its convenient spray form. However, the whitening effect cannot be achieved. The spray is convenient to dose, so one package will last for a long time.
Ace Oxi Magic . The price for a 0.5 kg package of bleach is about 140 rubles. The powder can be used for both colored and white laundry. This is a fairly effective and inexpensive product with a pleasant aroma and an affordable price tag.

Ace Oxi Magic is available in retail chemical aisles, while Astonish Oxy Plus and Amway Pre Fresh are available for purchase online.

Summing up and conclusions

Before first use, be sure to check the color fastness of the carpet or furniture upholstery to Vanish. To do this, apply a small amount of the substance to an inconspicuous place and leave for a while. If the product has not faded, then Vanish is suitable for cleaning it. Advertisements from manufacturers claim that the product can deal with any stains without much effort.

However, customer reviews do not always confirm such an assessment of the product. There are both positive and not very enthusiastic reviews about Vanish on the Internet. Of course, some users may simply not follow the instructions. The result does not live up to expectations. In other cases, old stains really cannot be removed by any stain remover. Some users are quite grateful to the product manufacturers for saving things that they already wanted to throw away.

In some cases, Vanish components can cause an allergic reaction. Overall, it is certainly worth evaluating this product yourself.

The attitude towards smell is the same - from the biggest plus to the biggest minus.

In addition, most buyers agree that the price is too high and does not correspond to the quality. However, Vanish really copes with many fresh stains. For example, it removes tea stains by 59%. This is the best result among other manufacturers. But in terms of whitening, his result is satisfactory - only 45%.

In some cases, the components of the stain remover can cause an allergic reaction. In general, of course, it is worth evaluating this product yourself. But it’s not for nothing that many people use it constantly and don’t look for other stain removers.

What to look for when purchasing?

To purchase high-quality bleach, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Label quality. The original product is packaged in bright packaging, on which information on the use of the product, its composition and expiration date is clearly printed. There must be instructions in Russian.
The stain remover bottle must be tightly closed. If the container is not filled to the brim, you can weigh it. The weight should not differ from the volume stated on the label.
The product must have a sufficient shelf life. The larger it is, the better, since many housewives use stain remover very economically.

If you have doubts about the quality of the product, you can ask the seller for a certificate of conformity. He must provide it upon request.

What is the price?

Vanish stain remover prices vary widely. They start at 150 rubles for the universal liquid stain remover Vanish Oxi Action and end at around 1,300 rubles.

The cost depends on the product series and its nominal volume. The highest prices are for stain removers marked Gold.

To save money, you can wait for discounts or promotional offers. They are often found both in large retail stores and on the Internet.
