I cleaned a carpet with Vanish in it and although I'd put de-foam in the waste tank, it foamed up real bad. My motors were running but I'd completely lost suction ??? ??? ???. I switched the machine off, sorted the foam out and the machine worked perfectly after that... Weird :o :o :o

Spray defoamer directly onto the vanish and brush in or you will never get rid of it and it will re-soil very quickly ,then rinse thougherly.

       prochem  Fibre and fabric rinse in the solution tank will neutralize the foam and suds.Steve

As Mark says, spray defoamer directly onto it and rinse. You'll have to repeat it a few times but this is the only thing that has truly worked for me. Use cold water too.
