BISSELL with Febreze Freshness Carpet Cleaning Powder Save 14% Off

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 5x7 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.

I''m not quite sure what to make of Bissell''s carpet cleaning powder. It does work, but required alot of work on my part to make that happen. I was pretty surprised to learn that you have to "scrub" the powder into the carpet. I have a high traffic area near my front door, so I tried out the powder there as I didn''t want to crawl around scrubbing my whole living room carpet and after much scrubbing in of the powder it did clean the "path" on the high traffic area I used it on, but it wasn''t worth the time and effort in my opinion. Much easier to use a carpet steam cleaner or even a spray foam carpet cleaner that lifts the dirt out without much if any effort by me. In fact, this powder seems like a step backward in carpet cleaning to me. In the end it did work, but there are easier and faster solutions out there. I wasn''t pleased with how it filled up my bagless vaccum either, it was more work to clean out the canister really well. I suppose if you have a small area to clean or, based on some other reviews, a problem with pets (which I don''t have) this powder might be a good choice, but for me, it was alot of work for very little reward.

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.

The wetness you feel when walking on the powder was kind of weird. I followed the directions on the back of the container. I vacuumed first then used this product and vacuumed again to be sure it did what it says. When I dumped out the canister of dirt it seemed to have worked well. Yuck! I like the scent of the product and I will definitely be buying this in the future!

I couldn''t tell a radical difference between this rug powder and others. You sprinkle a talcum looking substance all over the rug, then scrub it in with a brush -those brushes that come with stick carpet cleaners are great, you don''t have to get on your knees -and then you come back later and vacuum. I could tell just a very slight difference, and I didn''t get as much fresh smell in the room as I was hoping for. The difference was the rug under my bare feet didn''t feel quite as greasy and matted down, but that could have just been a result of the brushing!
