Advantages: none
Disadvantages: everything
I managed to pick up the Vanish Power Shot in a Pound shop and im starting to understand why it was so cheap!
I have 6 kitties and sometimes there are accidents, food gets dropped onto the floor, i spill stuff on the floor and from reading the back I thought great! finally something that will take this mess outta the carpet...wrong!
I couldnt understand that where ever I used this foam the cats would be attracted to that spot and pee there, I automatically thought something was wrong with my troop of cats and headed to the vets. After a lengthy chat with the vet the conversation turned to the carpet Vanish, one of the ingredients in this foam is Ammonia..something that everyones urine has.. lovely! So the cats could smell the Ammonia and thought I must have just moved the litter trays..so accidents happened.
When I was shopping next I also found a pet version of the carpet vanish and it also contains ammonia, which confused me as to how they can advertise it as pet friendly, maybe if you enjoy your pets piddling everywhere but I seriously doubt it.
In conclusion, not only did I have kitty issues with this product but on other stains like make up, food and drink spillages it did nothing and was a waste of the £1 i spent in the poundshop, if it wasnt a name brand I would not have minded but with name brands you expect results and I did not like the results our household endured!
Summary: Not pet friendly

- 20/08/09 I have a friend who is a veterinary nurse and she told me about ammonia products and also told me to avoid pine fragranced ones too as she said that has the same effect! x |
