Can I use Sensitive Laundry Liquid in a spot cleaner or wet vac?Updated 11 days ago
TL;DR: Yes. Add 1 pump of Sensitive Laundry Liquid per tank in your spot cleaner or wet vac. For heavy stains, pre-spray Stain Remover directly on the fabric first. Always spot test upholstery and rugs before treating the full area.
How do I use it in a spot cleaner?
How to use it
Add 1 pump of Sensitive Laundry Liquid to your machine's clean-water tank.
Fill with water and run the machine over the stained area following its instructions.
For heavier stains, pre-spray Stain Remover directly on the fabric first and let it dwell briefly before running the machine.
✓ Why it works well
✓ 1 pump is a consistent, repeatable dose per tank
✓ Gentle enough for most upholstery fabrics
✓ Works in wet vacs and handheld spot cleaners alike
⚠ Before you start
✓ Spot test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on couches and rugs
✓ Use the minimum product needed, over-wetting fabric can cause watermarks
✓ If your machine has a rinse cycle, run it after treating to lift any remaining residue
⚠ Don't use Universal Cleaner in a spot cleaner
Universal Cleaner is a ready-to-use bag-in-box formula and isn't designed for dilution or spot-cleaning machines. Don't add it to a spot cleaner, wet vac, or carpet machine. For spot cleaning, use Sensitive Laundry Liquid.
Should I pair it with Stain Remover?
✓ Pre-treat heavy stains with Stain Remover
For set-in or protein-based stains (wine, blood, food, pet accidents), spray Stain Remover on the fabric and let it dwell briefly before running the spot cleaner. The pre-treat step targets the stain so the spot cleaner has less to do. For lighter or fresher stains, Sensitive Laundry Liquid in the tank is usually enough on its own.
