How long does the fragrance last?
Like any other chemical you use in your home, you can expect the fragrance to be distinct when you first apply no vac. As the formula works the fragrance will settle, generally within a half-hour. Good airflow will dissipate the fragrance faster, and it’s also useful to remember that you only need to lightly spray no vac for it to be effective.
What is the different between the Instant Spot & Stain remover and the Sanitiser & Deodorisers?
The Instant Spot & Stain remover is a product specifically designed to remove stains from soft surfaces such as carpets, rugs and upholstery .It is effective against removing stains caused by food, wine, grease and other common household items. The Sanitiser and Deodorisers on the other hand are not spot cleaners and should not be used to remove marks. They are a great way to kill 99.9% of germs on soft surfaces whilst leaving a wonderful refreshing scent. Together the two products will have your home looking and smelling great at the same time as killing 99.9% of germs.
I’m having trouble getting everything out of the Instant Spot & Stain Remover can. Why is this happening?
What is the little red dot on the rim of the Instant Spot & Stain can?
This little red dot indicated the direction of which the dip tube curves. Before spraying an aerosol, you need to make sure that the dip tube is correctly aligned to reach the lowest point of the can when spraying.
The dip tube is curved so that it will always be seated at the bottom edge of the aerosol can. This combined with the domed shape at the bottom allows you to extract all the liquid from a can if positioned correctly.
How many uses do I get in a single can?
The number of uses depends on the size of the room, carpet or furniture you are treating with no vac.
Is no vac safe if inhaled while spraying fabrics?
It’s never a good idea to directly inhale fumes produced by aerosol products. Make sure you read and follow the package directions before use and ensure you are in a well-ventilated area.
Is no vac safe for furniture?
no vac is generally safe for most furniture as long as you follow the usage directions. We recommend you always test no vac on a small inconspicuous area first.
Is no vac safe for animals and pets?
When using no vac, it’s best to keep your dogs, cats or other furry friends in another room, or outside. We also recommend using no vac in well ventilated areas.
Can no vac be used on Persian rugs?
Persian rugs are beautiful items that have delicate fibres and are often handwoven. We don’t recommend that you use no vac on them.
What do I do if I have sprayed to much of the product and the fragrance is too strong?
The first thing you should do is open windows and doors to get the room aired out. This will result in the fragrance dissipating quicker than it otherwise would. A 290g can is enough product to cover 27sqm and a 418g can 39sqm, so only a very light layer of foam is needed.

How much no vac should I use?
The amount of no vac that you use depends on the size and density of the stain you’re treating. The size of the carpet or upholstery also matters – the bigger it is, the more no vac you will need to apply.
If you are using no vac Sanitiser & Deodoriser, a little really does go a long way. The scent of the product can be quite strong upon application, we recommend only applying a very light layer of foam.
Do I need to vacuum after using no vac?
You don’t need to vacuum! no vac has been designed to combat odours without the need for vacuuming.
It’s quick to dry and doesn’t leave any residue, so all you need to do is spray it on and watch your carpet become fresh and clean in about 5 minutes.
Though you’ll still need your vacuum cleaner to break down solid matter and remove dust, so don’t throw it away just yet.
Are no vac cans recyclable?
Yes – The majority of councils accept aerosols in their kerbside collection schemes.
Make sure that the can is empty and do not pierce or squash the can. If the cap and actuator are easily removable, you can remove the plastic parts and put them separately in the recycling bin.
Aerosols, which are not 100% empty, can often be returned to Council recycling centres.
You can check whether your Council accepts aerosols at
