Gold Oxi Action – Carpet Powder Deep Cleaner, 650g

Has blessed my shag rug with new life. Easy to use and extremely effective. It does have a "smell" but if like me a lot of fragrance gives you a headache this one is an inoffensive, clean smell that eases off quickly after it's been hoovered up. I can imagine if you have a weaker vacuum you may have issues but it lifted no bother with a Henry - did take a few passes and a bit of attention to detail on a very thick, dense pile like mine. So perhaps not the choice for you if you have very thick rugs and/or a slightly pathetic hoover. I do think you will get better results depending on how well you scrub it in and how miserly you are with product; apply generously and scrub vigorously, particularly if you're using on a dense rug, and it will return the effort, the product works if you work it. The other reviews regarding the packaging are correct, it would be a bloody nightmare especially not using the full dose, save yourself the faff and decant it directly into a big sealable plastic tub or zip loc, it's not any more difficult to spread that way. I can see what they were going for with the design but it is patently, rubbish, bypass entirely. I had no issues sprinkling it using a shaking motion out the corner of a tub, or use a scoop. Seriously, just don't bother with the packaging. I got half covered in the product while it was still "sealed" during the shake well stage of the instructions. Decant it, you won't have issues. Absolutely will order again however the amount I received was very generous, more than half leftover after one medium area rug and a generous application, so it might be a while before I need to order again. That said my rug has come up like brand new and is lovely and clean and soft feeling to touch as if it's been fully shampooed with infinitely less faff than renting a rug doctor and lugging it upstairs. A 10/10 household product (if you ignore the packaging).

I found this product very good for my carpet in the heavy traffic areas. My only criticism was it was so messy and kept blocking my filters on my vacuum cleaner. Smells fresh too so would buy again

It has neutralised the carpet odour and the carpet looks cleaner. Useful on wool carpets as any wet cleaning would make them shrink.

Before I used it I read the instructions correctly. I personally felt the product would have been better in a tub with a scoop similar to cat litter ones because the whole process didn't work for me. I found that the powder was clumpy as it fell through the holes onto my rug and scattered all over my floor. Maybe the holes are too big, fewer bigger holes maybe? I tried breaking up the lumps and rubbed them into the rug but it made a mess. Its still in a bag not sure what to use it for.

I have a light brown carpet fitted through two rooms. The carpet is maybe 18 years old and, despite frequent vacuuming, certainly shows a well trodden route across it. The fabric is actually very good but the ingrained unmoveable track marks had me thinking a new carpet was well overdue. I considered hiring a carpet cleaner but thought the carpet was too far gone for that. This was just a gamble for a few pounds I bought this stuff and read the instructions. Set aside a morning and acquired a hand scrubbing brush. I shook the bag before I opened it and sprinkled the moist powder lightly over about a metre square, I scrubbed it in until that area was uniformly white, adding a little more where there wasn't enough, the surplus got brushed across to start the next square .. you get the idea. I had used about 2/3rds of the bag and had a white slightly damp carpet, I went out for a few hours to ensure the powder was completely dry (the instructions say it should be dry in about 20 minutes but the important thing seems to be that it is dry). I started to vacuum and, as I had just poured 500g of powder down, there was 500g to come back up. It filled my poor stick cleaner three times. The difference was amazing but there were still some track mark remnants in the very heavy areas, I sprinkled the remaining powder just over these areas; scrubbed, dried and vacuumed - job done. If you find you have ultra clean areas by over scrubbing, do not panic - a few days of normal footfall will even it all out I thought I would try £14 before spending £3000 - glad I did

Just bought a house where dogs and cats had been allowed to the house now the carpets we thought were quite clean the amount of grime that came out of the carpet was unbelievable another great product from VANISH.

A bit of hard graft getting it into the fibres, but well worth the result. Fibres felt softer, definitely looked cleaner and this was on a near white, large rug with stains. Worth the effort, saved the rug from going to the tip.

If you’ve wondered where this old favourite has vanished too excuse the punt you can buy it here on Amazon

This item is amazing . If u have kids it's a must to have .

Fast delivery good quality

I regret using this product on our carpet. - Did not clean carpet, All stains remained as it is. - Could not get rid off all powder even after vacuuming more than 5 times. - Clogged my vacuum machine. even after cleaning vacuum machine filters several times seems like efficiency of my vacuum machine dropped allot. This is a good powerful 1800W machine we are using for couple of years. -Powder settled everywhere which is another headache to clean -Not sure how much went inside our lungs!!

This pack was opened and wrapped with plastic bubble and tape. Are we serious about this?! No return for the product even! Shameless

Quality is poor and cheap.Smells bad
