Vanish carpet wipes - beware

Just to let you know, I used this on my carpet when dd was younger to mop up spills. What I didn't know was that it would bleach the cream wool carpet we had. I'm sure I read the instructions carefully and just thought the lighter patches were where it was super clean - der how stupid am I!!!! I'm now claiming off our insurance after asking a cleaning company to come and clean it and they said it would do no good.

Just thought I would mention it in case I could stop someone else making the same mistake.

best thing I have found to use on spills anywhere is baby wipes

I'm always amazed at what baby wipes remove. To think we use them on our little ones bums!

I too now use them for everything
