Advantages: Effective, quick and much cheaper alternative

Disadvantages: Possible works too well

I thought I would try this as an alternative to vanish carpet cleaner, that I had been using for a number of years, as it was over apound cheaper.

My son decided to give me the opportunity to test this product out almost as soon as I got back from the shops when he dripped a red Ice lolly over the floor. We have a pale blue carpet so it looked like purple blobs all over the floor.

You simply sparay the product onto the carpet and then leave it for 2 minutes. The spay comes out foamy so that you can see quite easily where you have sprayed the product. After 2 minutes I found that the best way was to try and blot the stain out with kitchen roll. The stain did come out after a couple of applications, but as this was a pretty drastic stain I didn't expect that it would come out straight away. The vanish alternative has needed a couple of applications to get the stain out fully for similar stains.

The only criticism I do have is that it has worked too well - not only did it effectively remove the stain but it it cleaned the carpet really effectively - so now I know how dirty my carpet is!!

Summary: Good alternative to the vanish brand
