Amazing carpet refresher This was the only carpet powder I could find on my last trip to Wal-Mart, and I wasn’t expecting much. Our house is mostly tile, but we have a large living room rug that gets vacuumed daily because we have two dogs with some shedding. I noticed lately, while I was doing push ups on the rug, that it smelled of dog. That won’t do!So first I cleaned the rug with our Bissell Spot Bot. I bought the pet cleaning product and saturated the rug with it, then sucked the liquid off. That made no difference. I sprayed it with Febreze which made it smell like coconuts and the faint suggestion of tropical dog.Finally I tried this powder. The instructions say to work the powder in. I didn’t really have a tool to do that the first time, so I just walked all over it roughly. I waited 20 minutes. I vacuumed. Nothing.The next time, I took my broom first thing in the morning and washed it. Once it tried a applied the powder and worked it in with the broom. I waited more like 45 minutes, mostly cause I was doing other things. When I vacuumed it up this time, the carpet smelled like NOTHING, neither coconuts, or fresh laundry, dog, or even wool. It was the absence of all smell. I thought it was actually brillant! So I went back, since we have guests coming, and spayed the coconut spray just for a touch.Just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, I tried to again today. Same smell of nothing! Great news, so I’m buying more.A word of note: this 18oz can had cleaned my 5×7 rug 3 times, so I need about 6oz per clean. When I apply it I’m looking for the whole rug to be clouded in white. The bottle doesn’t mention the intended coverage use, but I would say that you need about 0.5oz per sq ft of carpet.
Really didn’t do a thing. I have some high traffic areas in my house that get dingy quick and vacuuming alone doesn’t do much. I usually have to get out the steam cleaner to make a difference which is a pain so I was very excited to try the carpet cleaning powder. I followed the directions exactly (which included getting a broom and “scrubbing” the powder into the carpet which I wasn’t thrilled with). When I vacuumed everything up, my carpet looked a little fluffier (probably from the broom “scrubbing”), but the dinginess was exactly the same. After about a day of walking on it again, you couldn’t tell I did a thing. I really had high hopes for this product, but it simply didn’t deliver any results for me.
