Vanish Preen Powerfoam

Useless – As others say, absolutely useless. Did not alter the stain in any way. Don't waste your money! Show details

A complete waste of time, money and energy – Has no affect on stains. None of the vanish products I have used do anymore than just washing normally. Show details

Cat Urine Odour – Used as per directions with ok results on 1mtr sq carpet area. After drying time the room smelt fresh although after a couple of days there was an distinct smell to that of 'cat urine'. Can't say I'm impressed with this odour in my bedroom. It's a thx, but no thx product for me. [+] Easy to use Freshened carpet [-] Price Overspray After odour unpleasant Show details

Brilliant – I sprayed it on stains on my carpet and what a good result!Left it for awhile vaccuumed and out the stains came!Instead of being on my hands and knees scrubbing Vanish got them out Show details

Changed from spray to foam – Since Vanish was changed to a foam, I find it very difficult to direct it onto the stain. Eg a shirt collar. It is very messy and the foam is very slippery if it gets on the floor. Show details

seriously just go get a professional carpet steamer, do not recommend this product – The instruction say it will dry in 2hrs and vacuum, i left it for 3 hours and then vacuumed it. Paul (the previous reviewer) said it right, it leaves a residue that is still there after 2 weeks. I paid a professional carpet steamer who steamed it last week but the residue is still there. That is how strong it is. Unfortunately, it is my bed room… Read more

so i have been camping in the living room for 2 weeks. I should have just paid for a carpet steamer to come in in the first place. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Works well – The preening power foam , works reasonably well " but if your not careful " it can get real messy real quick and getting it on anything else but clothing is dangerously slippery Show details

Former Professional Carpet Cleaner – I could always tell the use of this type of product when I cleaned carpets professionally. In my opinion It leaves residial foam in the carpet. This in turn cleans your feet/shoes leaving the dirt in the carpet. Often my customers would tell me the carpet got dirtier within a week or two than it was before use of this type of product. I think it… Read more

should only be used as a temporary measure and a proper clean done with a hot water extraction cleaner (steam clean) by either a hire system or a professional. Please note I am no longer in the industry I am passing this on as informative only.

Don't waste your money on this! – I have stained carpet at my front door. I have a property inspection in a few days, and my property manager is a real tyrant! So I bought some Vanish preen power foam. I followed the instructions to the ''t,'' it did absolutely nothing! Made no difference whatsoever, don't buy this product, it is a waste of money!

TERRIBLE – This carpet cleaning spray was an absolute waste of time, energy and money. The very dirty carpet I used it on did not get cleaner than from vacuuming alone (with a top of the market vacuum cleaner). But it did leave the carpet feeling sticky. Took a day to dry on a low pile carpet. Area was vacuumed repeatedly and still no extra dirt was removed.… Read more

If you have a very dirty carpet do yourself a favour and DONT even try to clean it with this spray foam...!

Good for spot stains – I have been an avid fan of the Preen Carpet powder, to clean large areas, but after receiving a Carpet Shampooer as a gift, this has now become my preferred cleaning option. Of course small spills and dirty marks still occur, on a regular basis, and I often use Vanish Preen Powerfoam to clean these areas. It works well, has a pleasant smell, and is reasonably priced. Overall a good product

Better than vacuuming alone – My carpet is about 7 years old and was becoming grey. I was initially looking for a powder carpet cleaner but bought this aerosol spray foam instead. I sprayed it on my bedroom carpet and left it for 5 hours instead of the recommended two, only because I went out in the meantime. The next day I used it in another room for the recommended two hours… Read more

and it was just as effective. I found the carpets were indeed brighter and cleaner, including the colours on a children's mat, and the smell is pleasant, not overpowering.

The product is sprayed onto the carpet, gently brushed in with a clean broom, left for two hours, and vacuumed. During the two hours it is recommended you don't walk on the carpet, so I am doing 1-2 rooms at a time. It is also recommended that you vacuum first but I didn't; I suppose that would become more important if more dust and dirt has built up.

I did make an effort to vacuum more slowly than usual to get the best results. This product is in a 500g can which seems large but will only cover 2-3 rooms; I would need two cans for three bedrooms and the lounge room. It is recommended only for standard dirt removal, not for stains, but I found it is more effective for dirt removal than vacuuming alone. I will continue to use it once or twice per year as it does make a pleasant difference to the appearance and fragrance of the room.
