Instructions for use

For carpet cleaning to be effective, you must follow the exact instructions for this process. You should prepare for it in advance by preparing all the necessary tools.

This approach to cleaning will allow you to achieve a good effect and cope with any type of dirt.

Inventory

In order to clean the carpet yourself at home, you need to stock up on some equipment. This includes:

Vanish cleaning product;
a bucket or basin with clean water;
soft structure sponge;
dry cloth to absorb excess moisture;
brush with soft bristles;
gloves;
vacuum cleaner.

Sponge

The sponge must be soft so that it can be washed and not rubbed with dirt. At the same time, the pile itself should not be wrinkled. So, choose one that has a soft texture, does not crumble into pieces and does not leave stains on the white carpet.

Brush

It is important to choose a brush with soft bristles. Cleaning should be gentle, especially if we are talking about long, sensitive pile. Rough bristles will spoil and wrinkle the pile, giving it an unkempt appearance.

Moisture-wicking fabric

When a stain is cleaned with Vanish shampoo, it is usually moistened with plenty of water. Therefore, excess moisture should then be thoroughly blotted off. For these purposes, you need to use moisture-absorbing fabric that absorbs water well.

Vacuum cleaner

To clean the carpet after using Vanish powder or spray, it should be vacuumed. For low-pile carpet, you can use a regular vacuum cleaner. But for carpets that have long, fluffy fibers, a hand-held vacuum cleaner is most suitable.

Gloves

When cleaning carpet, be sure to use gloves. They can be rubber or latex. This will protect your hands from the aggressive effects of the cleaning product.

Carpet pre-cleaning

The surface to be cleaned should also be properly prepared. Remove all dust and existing debris. Wash the floor under the carpet itself. If the product is distinguished by bright colors, then first you need to conduct a kind of test. Apply the product to a small, inconspicuous area, rub and see if the paint comes off.

Selecting a cleaning method

There are two types of carpet cleaning. And before starting such a process, you should decide what kind of cleaning will be:

dry;
wet.

These methods have some differences and their own characteristics, which should be taken into account when starting cleaning.

Dry

You can manually clean carpet using a dry method using Vanish powder:

the composition is applied to the pile using a brush, without prior wetting in water;
the powder is aged for twenty minutes;
the carpet is vacuumed.

Wet

For wet cleaning you need to use Vanish shampoo. A cleaning agent is added to a bowl of water and the liquid is whisked until foam forms. Using a soft sponge, the foam is carefully applied to the perimeter of the contaminated surface. As soon as it dries, the carpet needs to be vacuumed.

Post-cleaning

After comprehensive cleaning of the carpet, it should be looked after. The powder used must be carefully removed with a vacuum cleaner so that no particles of the product remain in the pile.

You must check the back of the product to see if there are any stains left if wet cleaning was used. Subsequently, when a fresh stain appears, you can immediately use foam or Vanish spray to prevent dirt from penetrating to the base of the pile.

Important Tips

To clean the carpet and subsequently maintain it in good condition, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

The product should be cleaned regularly, preventing dirt from accumulating;
Vanish products are most suitable for carpets and synthetic coverings;
after cleaning, the pile must be dried to avoid rotting;
Long pile is best treated with a spray.

These simple tips will help maintain the original appearance of the carpet.

Rules for using funds

Even before purchasing, it is important to carefully read the description and understand whether the product will suit your carpet. For example, concentrated foam cannot be used for viscose and wool products. For painted and synthetic carpets, it is necessary to carry out a test before use - apply a small amount of the product to a small, inconspicuous fragment of the carpet. Testing ahead of time will ensure that the paint will not react with the detergent.

Each form of this drug requires compliance with a specific algorithm for use.

All products that require drying indicate that you can walk on the carpet, but do not go barefoot. To prevent the active components from causing irritation to the skin of your hands, you should wear gloves when working with Vanish. If you are susceptible to allergic reactions, then in addition to gloves you will need a medical mask or a disposable respirator - this is a measure to protect against the product getting into the respiratory tract.

When cleaning carpet, be sure to use gloves.

If children live in the house, then it is better not to let them into the room while the carpet is being treated. Chemical components in the composition of the products can cause an allergic reaction; if any household chemicals come into contact with children's skin, irritation may occur.

If there are children and animals at home, they should be kept away from the room in which the carpet is being cleaned.

The same safety measures should be observed for domestic animals; a safe concentration of chemical components for humans will pose a danger to the animal. Children and animals can be allowed into the room immediately after the treatment is completed.

Clean carpet at home in a well-ventilated area.

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.

Also, during treatment, open the windows and take children and animals out of the room so that they do not inhale the vapors of the substance.

Conclusion

Try the method of washing a carpet with shampoo or other Vanish products, and you will want to use it constantly. This is a budget and simple alternative to expensive dry cleaning. Regular treatment of carpets with Vanish will help maintain cleanliness and prevent the appearance of stubborn stains.
