Hello all:

New member here and first post-- can someone recommend a cleaning solution and defoamer for the old Vax 121 (Wash Wizard Plus)? I can't locate the original recommended products; any reasonable subsitutes?

I got in touch with the Vax England office-- they don't ship anything to the U.S.

Thank you,

Lou

You know speaking of Vax, I remember 3 years ago I went into a thrift store called the plaid tag and I definitely remember seeing a rare orange Vax vacuum from the 90’s and it’s the one that is mostly popular and it was $20 and I couldn’t believe my eyes but I didn’t get it so no biggie.

Use Hoover US detergents!!!

Use Hoover's solutions. TTI owns American Hoover and British Vax.

I'm surprised the idiotic Vax customer care department didn't suggest Hoover US as a suitable detergent!

Alternatively use separate solutions provided by Rug Doctor, but be careful to dose correctly. Bissell solutions should work too.

When Vax first came on the scene, the detergent and defoamer was separate.

Then, 1001 made a great to-do with their own 3-in-1 machine detergent, and advert saying "For best results, ignore the Vax instructions". The 1001 detergent had defoamer already added.

1001 made detergent (defoamer already added) for the UK Hoover Aquamaster (the deadly rival to the Vax).

Nowadays, modern 'Vax' detergents have the defoamer already added.

And Hoover detergents will be rebranded Vax detergents - and vice versa.

Shockingly I have had great results with the Carpet Cleaning solution sold at Sam's for commercial use, a gallon is $6.60 and makes 30 gallons, not wow smell, more like Windex, but sure works
