Basement Carpet

1anonly · 01-20-2011, 01:13 PM

A true test for the Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.

Here's the back story first. Around 3 years ago we had a bad rain and I got water in my basement. The water was enough to ruin the carpet down there. We had the carpet replaced and within a week our (My wife's) cat decided to "christen" it with his backside. I tried cleaning it right after it happened with a Bissle Spot Remover machine. It got most of it but I could still see a darker circle in the carpet. I even tried a full size Bissle carpet cleaner on it. The spot just won't go away and is driving my nuts.

Fast forward to today - I decided for the heck of it to try Adam's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner. I gave it 5 or 6 squirts and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then with a stiff brissle brush I scrubbed for 30 seconds and rubbed with a towel.

Yep, you guessed it. The stain finally gone.

This makes me very happy seeing that I'm having a little poker game this Saturday night.

I would of taken before/after pictures but I honestly didn't think it would come out. It looks like Adam is making me eat my words.

Adam's FTW!

nice to know how powerful this stuff really is

It is more powerful than the Woolite pet spray w/Oxy clean and Bissell's little green cleaning spray. It might be the strongest stuff I have ever used.

I did the same thing when I got mine Dan. That stubbrun spot that refuses to move. The Adam's carpet cleaner knocked it out in about a minute.

Like you, I never thought to before and after it for the same reason!

I seen another spot down there a minute ago. I'll see about doing a before/after tomorrow.

That is pretty amazing....that cat stain is usually the most difficult!

That is one great product. I use it all the time in the home to spot clean the carpets and a few times a year I do the whole thing.

It also took the salt off my car carpet after winter last year and its black.
