What means can be used?

Among the entire Vanish range, several products are suitable for cleaning upholstery. They come in various forms. In addition, a stain remover is used to combat local contamination.

Shampoo or foam

This product is available in gel form. There are 2 shampoo options:

• for manual cleaning;

Vanish for manual processing has an antibacterial component, which allows not only to clean the surface, but also to eliminate pathogens.

Recommendations

When performing the furniture cleaning procedure, you need to follow simple tips:

1. After treatment, sofas and armchairs should dry without heaters, irons or hair dryers.
2. In order not to spoil the pile of a coating made of delicate materials, you do not need to use a vacuum cleaner often. In this situation, you need to wipe the surface with a piece of soft material soaked in a warm soapy solution.
3. Any cleaning method must first be used on an inconspicuous area of ​​the upholstery, such as the back of the backrest.
4. The surface needs to be renewed using a steamer. The steam removes mites and freshens the material. But after treatment, the furniture must be left to dry naturally.
5. Ventilation is required to eliminate the smell of “old furniture.” It is advisable to take upholstered furniture out into the air for several days in spring and summer.
6. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label.
7. If there are white stains after cleaning, wipe them with a soft brush and vacuum them.
8. Stain removers on leather, silk, and woolen surfaces must be used very carefully.

Compound

To successfully cope with the assigned tasks, the composition of all products must contain special substances. After all, Vanish not only removes stains, but also prevents color loss. Moreover, it renews colors and makes them brighter. How is this possible? The composition will tell you about this.

• Firstly, the entire line of products contains zeolites. These substances successfully deal with fat, breaking it down into microparticles.
• Secondly, the composition, like most modern detergents, contains enzymes - enzymes that dissolve protein at the molecular level. This is an important component in the fight against food stains.
• Thirdly, there are two types of surfactants in the products: nonionic and anionic. These surfactants have a beneficial effect on different types of fabrics, remove static electricity, destroy unpleasant odors, and have a conditioning effect. It is also important that these types of surfactants are completely biodegradable.
• Fourthly, an essential component is active oxygen, or rather, a chemical bleach saturated with oxygen. This important component allows you to bleach fabrics without the use of chlorine, a substance familiar to the average person, but an aggressive and unsafe substance.

Despite the fact that the composition of all products is almost identical, do not forget: each of them has its own characteristics and is intended only for certain purposes. You should not remove a stain on a blouse with carpet stain remover. After all, the product for carpets and upholstery is more powerful, since it is designed for rough fabrics. To achieve the desired effect, do not forget to read the instructions and use the products only for their intended purpose!

Using Vanish shampoo to remove stains on furniture

2. Apply Vanish shampoo for cleaning upholstered furniture using the cap from the bottle.
3. Leave for 5-10 minutes.
4. Blot and rub a little with a clean, damp cloth, which you then need to rinse and repeat the procedure.

But here, too, not everything is so simple. The fact is that Vanish spray and shampoo are used quite economically. Therefore, it is difficult to calculate what is more profitable to buy: a cheap drug, the consumption of which will be large, or a more expensive drug, the consumption of which will be insignificant. The choice is up to the housewives, but you should know one thing: Vanish spray or shampoo for cleaning upholstered furniture would not be so popular if there were no results, right?

Now you know the secret to keeping your furniture clean and fresh. With Vanish, your sofa or armchairs will “sparkle” in a new way, they will be renewed, the fabric will become richer and smell more pleasant. But in order to achieve this effect, it is necessary to get rid of stains in a timely manner and from time to time, and not once every 2 years, to completely clean the sofa and armchairs. It is also important to follow the instructions, which clearly indicate how much of the product needs to be diluted with water, how much to apply to the surface, etc.

Preparing for cleaning: what will you need?

To work with shampoo you will need:

• container for diluting shampoo in water;
• sponge;
• brush;
• vacuum cleaner with a special attachment for cleaning furniture.

To work with foam spray, you will need a sponge or napkin to distribute the foam over the material and then clean it off. After cleaning with any product, it is recommended to walk over the surface with a brush or cloth. It is recommended to carry out all work wearing rubber gloves.
