Thanks guys,
BANHAM, agree with everything you said. That vanish is such crap. When i had professional guys in a few months ago cleaning my carpets they said to stay well away from the likes of vanish etc. Apparently all they do is strip the carpet of its colour etc.
JANET - Yeah, I had tried the Vanish but like I said above, its really rubbish. The sofa now has lighter patches than the rest!!
CLUBMAn - Thanks!! Taking your advice and 'throwing a throw' over for landlords visit! Will visit Arnotts tomorrow so. Also, enjoyed the thread with the sudocream on the carpet! Are you sure your not Heinrich from ivenus??!!! He suggested the exact same thing to me too!!
