Cleaning additional sofa elements

Comprehensive sofa care - tidying up not only the upholstery, but also the wood trim, back wall, and tray.

Back and armrests

Dirt is removed from varnished elements with a rag soaked in water with the addition of ammonia. Cracks in varnish and white spots after hot mugs are eliminated with Vaseline or cosmetic oil applied to the surface with a napkin. After waiting 15 minutes, the finish is wiped dry. The white marks will become invisible within a few hours.

Glossy fabric armrests are cleaned with dishwashing detergent. Stubborn greasy marks are first wiped with a low concentration solution of citric acid or vinegar.

Back wall and bottom

Cobwebs are swept away from the back wall, the surface is treated with a vacuum cleaner, wiped with a cloth soaked in soapy water, and allowed to dry completely.

The pallet is vacuumed and ventilated. If there is mold, spray with special antifungal agents Senezh, Savo or Ceresit, then ventilate and wash.

Removing stains

Although vanish is a universal product for cleaning furniture, in different situations it is better to use different types of products and methods. It all depends on the type of contamination, the size of the stain and the time of its appearance. These parameters affect how the surface is pre-prepared and the cleaning agent is applied.

Grease stain

If something greasy has dripped onto the upholstery of furniture, the first thing to do is sprinkle the stained area with salt. The main thing is to prevent oil from penetrating deep into the fabric and filler. Otherwise, the stain will be more difficult to remove. To remove grease stains, use Vanish spray. Spray on the stained area, apply a cloth, iron with an iron without steam.

If neither salt nor starch was on hand in time, and the oil penetrated deeply, then you need to make a paste from the powder and apply it for 3-5 minutes. For old grease stains, use a hand-applied antibacterial shampoo. Rub with a sponge soaked in shampoo until they disappear. Wash off any remaining product on the upholstery with plain water.

Take the spray

Apply to upholstery

After a couple of minutes, wipe with a dry cloth

Milk stain

When removing milk stains, keep in mind that milk is a dangerous substance for upholstered furniture. Milk is a fertile environment for all kinds of bacteria and microorganisms. As a cleaning agent, use antibacterial shampoo or vanish for washing vacuum cleaners. In addition to chemical treatment, the furniture must be dried. If you have a washing vacuum cleaner, the liquid can be sucked out with it. The faster the furniture dries, the less risk that the upholstery and filling will begin to rot. If the sofa has been drying for a long time, an unpleasant odor appears - repeat the chemical treatment.

Wine stain

Wine stains are not easy to remove. Moreover, not only red, but also white wine can leave a bright mark. The stains will not be as intense, but will still ruin the look. If it is not always possible to remove wine stains from an ordinary tablecloth, then what can we say about upholstered furniture. To remove wine stains, do the following:

Remove any wine that has not yet been absorbed using a napkin, blotting and rubbing the stained area;
Pour salt on top of it so that it absorbs the remaining liquid and leave for 10-15 minutes;
Brush off the salt and wipe with a napkin;
Apply Vanish shampoo and scrub with a sponge.

Check after a few hours to see if the stains have disappeared or not. If unsuccessful, wash the area of contamination with vanish again.

Wiping off the wine

Add salt

Removing salt

Apply spray or shampoo

Coffee stain

Such stains are difficult to remove, especially if it was freshly brewed coffee. In addition to pigment, it contains small particles of ground grains that get stuck in the fibers of the fabric. But Vanish copes with such stains easily. Apply Vanish shampoo foam to the stained area for a few minutes and wipe off with a cloth. If the stain is old, rub again with a sponge soaked in a water solution of Vanish shampoo.

Fruit stain

This type of stain also includes stains from fruit jam and puree. To remove them, an aqueous solution of ammonia was previously used. But it took a long time to rub. As a result, the fabric looked wrinkled and sloppy. With vanish, cleaning occurs without much physical effort. The structure and appearance of the fabric are preserved. It remains like new for a long time.

Marker and ballpoint pen marks

Vanish spray is suitable for removing marks. Ink from a marker and ballpoint pen does not penetrate deep into the fabric, but removing such stains is not easy. It's all about the chemical composition of the coloring pigment. Apply the spray to the upholstery and wipe with a dry cloth. If there is no spray, rub with a sponge soaked in a water solution of vanish.

Apply spray

After a few minutes, wipe with a cloth

Blood

If blood gets on the upholstery, the first thing to do is wipe the area with a cloth soaked in cold water with a small amount of vanish. Fresh stains are easier to remove. But it can also handle old, dried marks. Dilute the powder in water to a paste and apply to the soiled fabric. After 4-5 minutes, remove the slurry and rinse the upholstery fabric with water.

Using vanish as a cleaning agent for upholstered furniture will help maintain its original appearance. For a better understanding of how powder and shampoo are diluted and how cleaning is carried out at home, watch the video here.

Instructions for use

How to use Vanish to remove stains? To completely get rid of stains, you must follow the correct algorithm of actions.

General instructions for use of Vanish:

Moisten the stain. Depending on the type of stain, you need to use cool or warm water.
Apply a small amount of product to the stained area of fabric. For a basic powder stain remover, the amount is 15 g.
Rub the cleaner over the laundry so that it is absorbed into the fibers of the fabric.
Wash the item, taking into account the information on its label.

If the stain is minor, or the fabric does not tolerate washing, then simply rinse it.

Stubborn, old or difficult to remove stains require pre-soaking. In this case, the sequence of actions changes:

Moisten the problem area of the fabric (if a liquid product is used, apply it to the stain without pre-moistening).
Rub the powder over the dirt.
Leave the product on white items for up to 6 hours, and on colored items for an hour.
After the specified time, rub the contaminated area manually. These manipulations must be performed carefully so as not to damage the item.
Wash the product according to existing recommendations.

The stain remover can be used during a classic wash in a washing machine or in a basin. This will improve the appearance of things and improve the quality of care for them.

Simply add Vanish to the powder compartment. If the stains are serious, then add 60 g of the base product. For normal contamination, reduce the dosage by half. When washing by hand, the powder is consumed at the rate of 30 g for every 10 liters of water.

How to clean a sofa with Vanish without streaks or marks

Cleaning a sofa with Vanish may vary depending on the type of product.

Shampoos

The product is diluted in water according to the instructions and whipped into a uniform, stable foam.
Using a sponge or soft bristle brush, apply the mixture to the entire surface of the upholstery, trying to use only foam. If liquid gets in, nothing bad will happen, but you should immediately blot it up with paper towels.
Leave the sofa in this form for 30-40 minutes, depending on the degree of contamination. As a rule, the composition should dry directly on the upholstery.
At the final stage, the upholstery is simply vacuumed using a soft nozzle.

Stain removers

They are used to remove stubborn stains. The product is diluted according to the instructions and poured into a spray bottle. Next, you need to spray it on the problem area and wait a certain time, usually up to 15 minutes. After this, wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth.

Active foam

This type of Vanish is, rather, not beneficial to use for the entire sofa, but only locally, that is, specifically on dirty areas of the furniture. If you decide to clean the entire sofa, then be prepared for the fact that you will have to use the entire can. The use of Vanish active foam does not involve any heavy manipulation. All you need to do is shake the product well and apply evenly to the entire surface. To cover the entire area, use a sponge or a special window squeegee. Next, you need to wait about 2 hours and vacuum the upholstery.

Powder

In general, Vanish powder products are not used for upholstered furniture, but if you have no choice and still need to clean the sofa, then you can use them. In this case, only foam is used for cleaning. Do not pour powder directly onto the upholstery or rub it with a damp sponge. It is also not advisable to use soapy water. The best possible option is to apply foam to the upholstery, wait 20-30 minutes and vacuum.

Spray

Vanish spray, like active foam, requires a lot of consumption when cleaning a sofa. It also provides for spraying over the entire surface of the upholstery, so, most likely, after cleaning you will not have any liquid left in the bottle. But this type of product very effectively removes all types of dirt, even the most stubborn ones, and is suitable for cleaning both light and dark sofas.

As you can see, cleaning a sofa with Vanish is a fairly easy procedure that does not involve complex manipulations or a long time.

But it is very important to test the product on an inconspicuous area of the upholstery and see how it affects the fabric. Moreover, it is not enough to just apply Vanish, you also need to wait for it to dry completely, because this is the only way you will understand whether your furniture has deteriorated

How to use Vanish for carpets

Before you start cleaning the carpet, you need to remove dry debris and accumulated dust from it. The best thing to do is take it outside and knock it out. If this is not possible, you should thoroughly vacuum both the front and back sides so that contamination during cleaning does not leave dirty spots on the floor.

Carpets are made from different materials. It is better not to clean items that are handmade and/or made from natural threads, such as wool or silk. Inexpensive synthetic carpets can be treated with unstable dyes, so before using Vanish, you should test the material's reaction on an inconspicuous area. If the color has withstood the treatment, you can safely apply the product to the entire product.

When working with Vanish at home, as with other household chemicals, it is important to follow safety precautions - wear rubber gloves and ventilate the room during and after using the product

Heavy soiling and difficult stains are best removed from the carpet surface as quickly as possible. In this case, Vanish is most effective.

Shampoo

Shampoo for manual cleaning of carpets and shampoo with an antibacterial effect are designed for wet cleaning of stubborn dirt and dust, and eliminating odors. The latter is capable of destroying up to 99.9% of bacteria and microorganisms (according to the manufacturer), that is, it can be used to disinfect the coating. Mothers whose young children often play on the carpet will especially appreciate this property. The shampoo is convenient for treating carpets with both short and long pile.

Vanish shampoo for manual carpet cleaning effectively removes stubborn stains

The sequence of actions when using “Vanish” for carpets in the form of shampoo:

Carpet cleaning using Vanish is much more effective than regular water cleaning. For those who want to try alternative methods, we recommend reading our article: “How to effectively clean a carpet at home.”

Spray

Vanish spray is intended for local removal of stains on the carpet, including difficult to remove stains. It is better to use it on fresh stains. The product comes with a spray bottle, which makes it easy to use. You can also use the spray to remove stains from the upholstery of a sofa and other furniture.

How to use the spray:

spray onto the stain and leave for 5 minutes;
in case of heavy or difficult to remove contamination, rub the liquid in with a brush with medium-hard bristles (this way the active substances penetrate deeper into the material);
remove with a clean damp cloth after 5 minutes.

Powder

Moistened Vanish powder is indispensable when cleaning large carpets. Thanks to its absorbent properties, the product actively absorbs dirt and unpleasant odors, restoring freshness and cleanliness to the coating.

Instructions for using the powder:

shake the powder package before use; Pour the powder onto the carpet and spread it with a soft brush over the entire surface. Since the powder is moistened, there is no need to add additional water to it or wet the carpet; leave the product until completely dry (20-30 minutes); remove powder using a regular vacuum cleaner

It is important to collect all the grains, so it is better to vacuum the coating several times.

Active foam

Active foam, like shampoo, is used to remove stubborn dirt and dust, as well as to refresh the carpet. But unlike shampoo, “Vanish” foam is more convenient to use - you just need to spray it onto the surface of the carpet from a distance of 70-90 cm.

The foam is spread evenly over the carpet in a dense layer and left on the surface until completely dry (this may take several hours). Then the remaining foam is removed with a regular vacuum cleaner.

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.

How to clean upholstery using Vanish

It is difficult to argue with the statement that clean upholstered furniture is cozy, pleasant, and beautiful. But only housewives who take care of upholstery know the value of this. Cleaning the fabric surface of sofas, armchairs, and upholstered chairs is not an easy job. This task becomes much more complicated if there are small children and animals in the house. Dirt, stains, smell - this is a real scourge that you have to fight if you want your furniture to have a well-groomed, neat appearance. It must be said that the Vanish line of upholstery products successfully copes with these three problems: it cleans the surface of dirt, removes stains, and eliminates unpleasant odors. Depending on the properties and quality of the fabric upholstery, as well as the nature of the dirt, you can choose shampoo (gel), stain remover or powder for this purpose. Before using any product, do not forget to thoroughly vacuum the upholstery or brush it with a dry brush, getting rid of dust, hair, wool and small debris.

Shampoo "Vanish"

Prepare a solution of 9 parts warm water (about 400) and 1 part shampoo.
Lather the product thoroughly.

Leave the spray on for 5-10 minutes.
Wipe the area with a dry cloth or vacuum.
If the stain does not disappear or has partially disappeared, the procedure can be repeated. Stain remover "Vanish" in the form of a spray is very convenient to use

Vanish powder

When it comes to cleaning upholstered furniture, of course, every housewife cares first of all about not spoiling it. But some types of fabrics really do not like water treatments: they dry poorly, retain stains, and shrink. What to do? Should I limit myself to dry cleaning with a brush or vacuum cleaner? But what about dirty upholstery and faded paints? Vanish powder for dry cleaning will help solve this problem. It has a slightly moistened structure and works as an absorbent: like a sponge, it absorbs all the dirt and bad odors from the fabric surface, while simultaneously refreshing the paint. The undeniable advantage of the powder is its ease of use.

Shake the powder package vigorously, then apply it evenly to the upholstery.
After 30 minutes, thoroughly vacuum the upholstered furniture.
If there is a stain on the fabric upholstery, it can also be removed using powder. To do this, sprinkle the stain generously with powder and vigorously rub the product into the surface. After 30 minutes, remove the residue with a vacuum cleaner. Dry cleaning with Vanish powder is suitable for fabric upholstery that does not require the use of liquid products.

Advice. For carpets with long pile, it is better not to use this product. because it will be very problematic to collect all the powder without any residue, using even a powerful vacuum cleaner.
