Description
Description
This 450ml Vanish carpet shampoo cleans carpets and upholstery by hand, with no machine involved. It is a manual shampoo: you mix it with water, whip it into a foam and work it over the carpet, then vacuum once dry. It suits large areas such as hallways, stairs and doorways. It cleans, freshens and softens carpet and helps neutralise odours.
Why use it
- Removes 5 times more dirt than vacuuming alone (Vanish test basis: 100% polyamide carpets, or carpets with 10% wool and 10% polyamide, used as directed)
- For large carpet areas and upholstery
- Helps remove unpleasant odours and freshens dark patches
- Softens carpet fibres
- Used by hand, with no carpet cleaning machine
How to use Vanish carpet shampoo
- Vacuum the carpet thoroughly.
- Mix 1 part shampoo with 9 parts water, no hotter than 40°C.
- Whip the mix into a foam.
- Apply the foam evenly over the area.
- Let the carpet dry.
- Vacuum again.
Test on a small hidden area first and follow the directions on the back of the bottle.
Hallways, stairs and upholstery
Carpets, stairs, hallways, doorways and upholstery. For a single spill rather than a whole area, the Vanish Oxi Action Carpet and Upholstery Spray is quicker.

Frequently asked questions
How do you use Vanish carpet cleaner shampoo by hand?
Vacuum first, then mix 1 part shampoo to 9 parts water at 40°C or cooler. Whip it to a foam, spread it evenly, let it dry and vacuum again.
Can I use Vanish carpet shampoo on upholstery?
Yes. Vanish lists upholstery alongside carpets, hallways and stairs for its carpet shampoo. Test a hidden area of the fabric first.
Can you leave Vanish carpet shampoo on overnight?
Vanish gives no drying time. Its directions are to apply the foam, let the carpet dry and then vacuum, so vacuum only once the carpet is dry, however long that takes.

Vanish makes this 450ml shampoo for use by hand. Vanish sells a separate machine shampoo for carpet cleaning machines.
