Can I use Sensitive Laundry Liquid in a spot cleaner or wet vac?Updated 8 hours ago
TL;DR: Add 1 pump of Sensitive Laundry Liquid per tank in a spot cleaner or wet vac. For a heavy stain, pre-spray Stain Remover on the fabric first. Spot test upholstery and rugs somewhere out of sight before you treat the whole area.
Can I use Sensitive Laundry Liquid in a spot cleaner or wet vac?
How to use it
Add 1 pump of Sensitive Laundry Liquid to the clean-water tank.
Fill with water as usual and run the machine over the area, following your machine's own instructions.
If your machine has a rinse cycle, run it afterwards to lift what's left in the fibres.
✓ Why 1 pump per tank
A pump of the Laundry Pump is 4 mL, so 1 pump gives you the same dose every tank without guessing. There's no added fragrance and no dyes in the formula, which matters more on a couch than in a machine, because nothing is left behind to smell of afterwards.
⚠ Universal Cleaner is ready to use and belongs on a cloth, not in a tank. Use Sensitive Laundry Liquid for spot cleaning machines.
What should I check before I start?
⚠ Three checks worth two minutes
Spot test somewhere out of sight. The back of a cushion or under a skirt. Look for colour change and for any shift in the texture once it dries.
Use the least product that works. Over-wetting fabric leaves watermarks and takes a long time to dry, and neither of those is easy to undo.
Read the furniture's own care code. Upholstery carries a cleaning code, and where it says water is a problem, it wins over anything here.
Should I pair it with Stain Remover?
✓ Pre-treat the stain, then extract it
For a set-in or protein-based stain, wine, blood, food or a pet accident, do the targeted work first. Stain Remover goes into a foaming bottle, then you spray the stain, leave it 5 to 10 minutes and run the spot cleaner over it with Sensitive Laundry Liquid in the tank. Treat the mark fresh where you can. On a light or fresh mark, the liquid alone is usually enough.
Around 60 washes per box, and 1 pump per tank in a spot cleaner. Sensitive Choice approved, Dermatest tested. Septic compatible when used as directed. Made in Australia.
