Carpet cleaner solution

[peteroldracer]

Generous and considerate as ever I am buying my beloved a Vax carpet cleaner from Amazon.uk, which, when MRW have failed to deliver it and forced me to go and collect it (!) will need some suitable solution putting into it.
Of course stuff like that cannot be sent from the UK, so my initial pleasure at them accepting an order for the genuine Vax stuff was spoiled by the email telling me my order had been cancelled and refunded.
Has anyone found a source of a suitable potion here?

We have borrowed a Vax from friends and my wife bought solution from Eroski. No idea what it was called and she is currently in Scotland, but I will ask.

Thanks ajtg, it came with a small bottle of the Vax solution in the box, but knowing how the OH loves cleaning, this will soon be gone.

The most common product used in Spain is Volvone, you should be able to get it at most big stores or in a droguería. http://www.volvone.es/

Thanks for that - herself is enjoying her new toy, so more needed soon! Lol

Spanish Ebay?

Five bottle deal

Single bottle

Very odd, ebbnflow: I ordered Vax solution at the same time as the machine, but having accepted the order I was advised that they could not send liquids like this and my money was refunded.
How can this supplier offer to despatch it by standard international post?
The other stuff, Volvone, has ammonia in it so I won't put that on our nice rugs!
We have bought some 1001 from Arkwrights 3€ for 500ml.

I sent an enquirey to the above vendors, their reply was that receiving the goods was a bit of a lottery!

However, I did come across two vendors on Amazon.es that would seem to stock the product within Spain?

The first two on this LINK

You can but try....

Thanks for your efforts ebbnflow, but although it is 1001 rather than the genuine Vax, Arkwrights looks to be the best value. It will also be some time if ever that I put myself through all the trauma of getting Amazon to deliver via MRW!

That's inflation for you..

I remember when It used to clean a big, big carpet for less than half a crown
