About this product

The genuine Vax formula, matched to Vax machines for the results they are designed to give.

A 1 litre concentrated carpet washing solution formulated for Vax carpet washers, safe on most fabric and carpet types when used as directed.

The genuine Vax formula is built specifically to work with Vax carpet washers, avoiding the over-foaming that generic detergents can cause in these machines.

A concentrated 1 litre bottle dilutes down to multiple full-tank fills, making it economical over the course of regular use.

Safe on most carpet and upholstery types when diluted according to the guide on the bottle.

Matched dosing helps avoid the residue build-up that under- or over-diluted generic solution can leave behind.

A straightforward way to keep your Vax machine performing the way it was designed to.

Carpet washers are engineered around a specific detergent chemistry, and using the wrong solution is one of the most common reasons a machine underperforms or leaves a residue that attracts dirt faster afterwards. This is the genuine Vax formula, built specifically for Vax carpet washers.

Being a concentrate, one litre stretches across multiple full-tank fills when diluted according to the guide on the bottle, which keeps the cost per wash reasonable even with regular use.

It is formulated to be safe on most carpet and upholstery fabrics at the recommended dilution, and matched dosing helps avoid the over-foaming that generic detergents can cause in machines not designed for them.

If you already own a Vax carpet washer, pairing it with the genuine solution is the simplest way to get the results the machine was actually designed to deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use the genuine Vax solution in a Vax machine?

Vax machines are engineered around this formula's chemistry. Generic detergents can over-foam or leave residue, so the genuine solution gives the most reliable results.

How far does one bottle go?

It is a concentrate, so 1 litre dilutes down to multiple full-tank fills, following the dosing guide on the bottle.

Is it safe on all carpet types?

It is formulated to be safe on most carpet and upholstery fabrics at the recommended dilution. Always spot-test delicate or natural-fibre carpets first.

Can I use this in a non-Vax carpet washer?

It is formulated specifically for Vax machines. For other brands, we recommend a solution matched to that machine, such as our 1001 Professional Carpet Cleaner Solution.

How should I store it?

Keep it upright in a cool place out of direct sunlight, with the cap sealed between uses.

Choosing the Right Carpet Washing Solution

3 min read CarpetWasherShop

A carpet washer is only as good as the solution you put in it. Using the wrong detergent is one of the most common reasons a machine underperforms or leaves a residue that attracts dirt faster than before you cleaned. This is the genuine Vax formula, built specifically for Vax machines.

Formulated for the machine, not just the carpet

Vax carpet washers are engineered around this solution's chemistry, low-foam, fast-rinsing, and matched to the machine's internal pump and spray system. Generic detergents not designed for machine use can over-foam, which strains the pump and leaves more residue behind.

Concentrated, so it lasts

Being a concentrate, one litre stretches across multiple full-tank fills when diluted correctly, keeping the running cost of regular washing reasonable.

Safe when used as directed

At the recommended dilution it is safe on most carpet and upholstery fabrics. As with any cleaning product, spot-test an inconspicuous area first on delicate or natural-fibre carpets.

If you already own a Vax carpet washer, pairing it with this genuine solution is the simplest way to get the results the machine was actually built to deliver.
