Vanish Power Foam Carpet

Introduction Vanish is a Reckitt Benckiser brand and they are probably the best known brand when it comes to cleaning products. I have always found that I get good results with the Vanish range, and this 'Power Foam Carpet Cleaner' was a product soon on my radar when it were introduced a number of years back now. If you stick to the big brands when it comes to cleaning products you will usually get good results, and as I had had good experiences in the past with the vanish range I had a good idea I would get good results. I am sure most of you will have seen the adverts for this product in the ... more

Nine years ago I found myself truly single for the first time in many a year and now with a property of my own I was going to ‘fantasy’ furnish it out completely to my indulgent tastes only! My one big decision amongst the delicious decadence of being truly free was cream wool carpets throughout my new home – and my word did they look stunning! Well to be accurate they are 80%wool and the bedroom is a slightly deeper wholemeal colour in keeping with the beech furniture…but you get the gist? However, back in ‘the real world’ some stark practicalities soon became apparent - and one was the very ... more

Well we all get that Lady Macbeth feeling from time to time when we regard our , perhaps , less dramatic spots that haunt our carpets and upholstery! For many years I have used Vanish as an excellent remover of the spots in my life. Having worked mainly on boats for the last 20 or so years I am convinced that boat designers never actually live on them much less clean them or they would not have such a desire to carpet them in pale cream, mainly wool carpets that attract any spots that are going. I always have that pink magic can close to hand to remedy whatever is the culprit be it sun tan ... more

After moving into a new house with my two flatmates, the logical thing for us to do was to host a flat warming party. Really, it was just an excuse for a party the week before fresher’s week at University started. The carpets in the house are a medium blue colour so we thought that spillage of drinks wouldn’t be too much of a bother. Oh how wrong we were… On inspection the next morning there were several marks on the carpet as well as on the rug under the coffee table. Not a good sign as we had only moved in 2 days before and the carpets were pristine! I ran down to the nearest shop, a Tesco ... more

Vanish Carpet and Upholstery Foam...... Since moving into our flat a couple of years ago now we have had laminate flooring which is very handy especially as I am rather accident prone and Jack being a toddler is just a messy stain waiting to happen. However In the front room we do have a rather large beige and light brown rug along with the bedrooms which are carpeted with a cream coloured flooring thus this does need cleaning from time to time. I have always used 1001 stain remover and found this to be adequate but the rug in the front room had become so encrusted with play doh and jam that I ... more

The carpets in our hallway and on the stairs have been looking a little bit shabby in recent weeks. Despite having a mat outside the front door and requesting that people remove their shoes, particularly when it’s been raining, the carpet was covered in dirt patches. It doesn’t help that it is quite a light-green colour so shows up any dirt and grime quite clearly. I normally get the Vax machine out to give the carpets a good clean but this is a big job and not one that I would want to do to regularly! I spotted a new Vanish powerfoam carpet cleaner whilst shopping a few weeks ago, which ... more

I moved into my house in 2007 and the carpet was brand new then, though perhaps not the most expensive of carpets! A plain beige colour and a loop pile for harder wear it looked the part at the time. 2 toddlers later and the carpet was worse for wear with a few food and drink spillage stains and the door area showing heavier foot traffic stains. I bought the Vanish Power Foam as a cheaper alternative to having someone come out and clean it - and the following are my comments on how it performed. I think overall the foam is useful on lightly stained areas - I did the whole living room carpet ... more
