To effectively use Vanish on carpet stains, follow these simple steps:
Steps for Using Vanish on Carpet Stains
Here’s a breakdown of the process, ensuring you get the best results:
- Preparation:
- Shake the Vanish can well before use. This ensures the ingredients are properly mixed.
- Application:
- Hold the can about 80cm (approximately 31 inches) above the stained area.
- Spray the stain evenly, making sure to cover the entire affected area.
- Working in the Foam:
- Use a colourfast clean brush, a clean damp mop, or a sponge to work the Vanish foam into the carpet fibers. This helps the product penetrate the stain.
- Drying Time:
- Leave the Vanish to work for at least 2 hours or until the area is completely dry. Do not disturb the treated area while it dries.
- Vacuuming:
- Once dry, thoroughly vacuum the entire carpet to remove any residue and reveal a clean, stain-free area.
Important Considerations
- Testing: Before applying Vanish to a large area, test it on a small, inconspicuous spot to ensure it does not discolor or damage your carpet.
- Tools: Always use clean tools to avoid transferring other dirt or stains onto your carpet.
- Drying: Avoid walking on the treated area while it is drying to prevent re-soiling.
- Stain Type: The effectiveness of Vanish can vary depending on the type and age of the stain. For tough or older stains, you might need to repeat the process or use a different method.
By following these steps, you can confidently tackle carpet stains using Vanish and restore the beauty of your carpets.
