Our Products
Our products, in absolutely no part of the production process (both individual chemicals and the final product) are tested on animals. In 2015, animal testing in the UK household cleaning products industry was banned. Regardless, we do not believe in animal testing and our products are cruelty free.
All of our products are made, designed and tested in the UK.
All our products are manufactured using detergents that are biodegradable in compliance with EU/UK guidelines as they must be to conform to the detergent regulations. Inorganic components are either inert or readily neutralise to form inert compounds. All of our packaging is recyclable and boxes also contain recycled material. All of our products are created in the UK to lessen our carbon footprint.
We supply safety data sheets by email upon request. Please get in touch by email info@dirtbusters.co.uk letting us know the name of the product(s) and we can send these over to you.
Our solutions are vegan as we do not use animal derived products. Even Glycerin, when used, is vegetable derived.
The only product that isn't vegan is our Leather Balms Lavender & Sandalwood. These two products contain some Bees Wax as well as Tallow.
We never test on animals.
Carpet Cleaning
If your machine has two tanks, one for clean water and the other for cleaning solution, you should dilute our product 50:50 with water so that it is diluted even further by the machine. If your machine has one tank for both water and cleaning solution you should dilute our product 10ml per Litre.
One of the most common mistakes when using an extraction cleaning machine to clean carpets is over-wetting. Going over the same patch of carpet many times causes the back of the carpet to become wet, this releases an unpleasant smell. If this happens, you can allow the carpet to dry before using the machine again with your Carpet Cleaning Product of choice from our extraction machine range. Use the machine over the carpet just once to remove the smell and clean thoroughly.
We recommend using a carpet Pre-Spray before using an extraction machine for best results. Spray the Pre-Spray onto the carpet, agitate if with a clean brush/broom, and then extract with a machine using your carpet shampoo of choice from our carpet cleaning range.
Yes, all of our extraction cleaning machine products, including our Pet Carpet Cleaning range, are suitable for upholstery cleaning. The best solution for safe upholstery cleaning is Clean & Condition.
We have 3 Pre-Sprays– 1, 2 & 3 – 1 is the gentlest solution suitable for all carpets, 2 is medium for synthetic carpets, and 3 is the strongest for very dirty synthetic carpets such as in restaurants. For general cleaning at home by non-professionals, we recommend our Pre-Spray no.1. This is our lightest Pre-Spray suitable for any carpet material. If you’re not a professional carpet cleaner and are unsure on what to use, choose Pre Spray no.1.
If the stain is on the surface of the carpet such as from tea, coffee or fake tan you can use our Tea & Coffee stain remover. This is designed to lift tannin. If the colouring is over patches of the carpet, it is likely it has been lifted from the bottom of the carpet such as from flooding or over-wetting during cleaning. For this you can use Citrus Rinse in an Extraction machine, which should balance out the colouring. Always test before use in an inconspicuous area.
Clean & Condition is the best extraction machine chemical safe for upholstery, rugs and general carpet cleaning. It leaves a soft conditioning treatment.

To clean the inside of an oven the products to start with are our Bio Oven Cleaner combined with Oven Cleaning Paste.
