Vanish powder stain remover is suitable for both white and colored items.
The unreliability of the box is the main drawback of Vanish.

The clothes after washing are so clean that they look like new.
Vanish Oxi Action Crystal Whitening Powder Stain Remover: reviews
Powder "Crystal whiteness" is a special tool for whitening things from "Vanish". The stain remover does not contain chlorine, so it can be recommended for children's clothes.
The principle of action of Vanish Oxi Action “Crystal Whiteness” is the presence of active oxygen, which breaks down impurities and pushes their particles out of the fabric structure. Bleaching agents help preserve the whiteness of things and prevent the appearance of yellowness in subsequent washings.
White stain removers of this series do not particularly complain to customers - approximately 50% of respondents said that after washing, stains remain on clothes (they are especially visible in ultraviolet light), or clothing starts to smell unpleasant. Testing the “Crystal Whiteness” more successfully, they said that the remedy is quite suitable for eliminating weak spots from drinks and food.
Instructions for use of powder stain removers
The use of powder only as an additive is the main recommendation regarding Vanish products. The stain remover, the dosage instruction of which is given below, should not serve as the main detergent:
1. Machine washable:
- for heavily stubborn and old stains add 1 spoon of “Vanisha” to the compartment with washing powder , for ordinary stains - ½ spoon;
- set the temperature regime and program necessary for this type of clothing.
2. For handwash:
- dissolve 1 tablespoon of powder for old spots or ½ spoon for ordinary warm water in a few liters;
- Leave the laundry to soak, before rinsing - rub.
A good result when washing in a machine is guaranteed at a temperature of at least 30 ° C, while soaking - about 40 C.
Also, stains can be pre-treated with powder by mixing ¼ products and ¾ tablespoons 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.
Shampoo for manual cleaning of carpets and upholstery: reviews
The brand also did not ignore other home textiles - upholstery and carpets, on which dirt accumulates no less. A special “Vanish” shampoo is designed for these surfaces. The stain remover is designed not only to cope with pollution of any complexity, but also to protect the pile and preserve the color of the fabric.
Such a consistency as shampoo was chosen by the manufacturer for a reason. When diluting the stain remover, a thick foam forms, which envelops each villus and deeply penetrates the structure of the tissue, cleansing it.
Shampoo for carpets is available in plastic containers of two volumes - 450 and 750 ml.
When testing several carpet cleaning products against the background of analogues, it was Vanish that was recognized as the best. The stain remover was characterized by the participants as an almost perfect remedy: after application, the coating acquired a fresh look, severe pollution disappeared without a trace. Things were a little worse with white carpets and upholstery - to completely eliminate stains, “Vanish” shampoo had to be used at least two times.
Antibacterial shampoo for manual carpet cleaning: reviews
Shampoo with antibacterial effects - an innovation in this segment of products. The manufacturer claims uncompromising and almost complete extermination of harmful microorganisms parasitizing in upholstered furniture - up to 99.9%. Sold in 450 ml plastic bottles.
The absence of any differences from a simple analogue is the first remark of buyers in relation to the antibacterial shampoo “Vanish”. Stain remover (the price of which, by the way, is slightly higher than the usual product - about 280 rubles per bottle) removes stains and unpleasant odors no better and no worse. However, despite this, some consumers noticed the primary signs of an allergic reaction to the too sharp chemical smell of the product.
Instructions for using shampoos for carpets

- Pre-clean the carpet with a vacuum cleaner.
- Dilute the product in warm (not more than 40 C) clean water per 1 cap of shampoo for 9 caps of liquid.

Shampoo for washing vacuum cleaners: instructions and reviews

To do this, ½ cap should be mixed with warm water and fill the tank with the resulting liquid. Upon completion of cleaning, wait for the coating to dry. Then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the foam that may have remained after using Vanish shampoo.
The stain remover, customer reviews of which were divided by about 50 to 50, handled the cleaning of colored carpets to "excellent", but light coatings could not be cleaned even after repeated cleaning. The smell of the shampoo is pleasant enough, but harsh - after use, the room must be aired.
