Can I use Sensitive Laundry Liquid in a spot cleaner or wet vac?Updated 3 hours ago
TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid can be used in a spot cleaner or wet vac at 1 pump per tank. Pre-treat heavy stains by spraying Stain Remover directly on the fabric first. Always spot test upholstery before treating the full stain.

How do I use it in a spot cleaner?
Steps
Add 1 pump of Sensitive Laundry Liquid to your spot cleaner's water tank.
Run the machine over the stained area as normal.
For heavier stains, pre-spray Stain Remover directly onto the fabric first and allow it to dwell briefly before using the spot cleaner.
✓ Why it works well
✓ 1 pump is a consistent, repeatable dose per tank
✓ Gentle enough for delicate upholstery fabrics
✓ Works in both wet vac and handheld spot cleaners
⚠ 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 spot cleaner has a rinse cycle, run it after treating to remove residue
⚠ What about Universal Cleaner?
Universal Cleaner is a ready-to-use product and is not recommended for dilution or use in spot cleaning machines. Don't mix it with other products or adjust its concentration. For spot cleaning with a machine, use Sensitive Laundry Liquid.
Should I pair it with Stain Remover?
✓ Pre-treat heavy stains
For set-in or high-protein stains (wine, blood, food, pet accidents), spray Stain Remover directly onto the fabric and let it dwell for a minute or two before running the spot cleaner. The enzymes in Stain Remover break down the stain so the spot cleaner has less work to do.
