Review of Resolve Deep Clean Powder

Have you seen the commercials for the Resolve Deep Clean Powder? I have.

Basically, it looks like you sprinkle the powder everywhere on your carpet, then vacuum it up for some awesome stain-free results.

It doesn’t quite work like that.

The powder is actually moist and clumpy. You first have to shake it before sprinkling it on your problem areas. Then you have to find a cleaning bristle brush. I didn’t have one, so I used one of my vacuum parts then cleaned itafterwards. You have to take the brush, and really scrub in the powder deep into your carpet.

It smells quite strongly. Once you’ve brushed it in as best you can, you then leave for at least 20 minutes so that it dries up and the dampness is out. My carpet is berber, so that’s maybe why I had to brush it in much harder. I also wanted to really clean my whole carpets, but because of the process, I spot cleaned the areas that were really bad, including my stairs(damn parties where people came in with their dirty shoes).

It was actually a lot more work than I’d anticipated, and I had troubles breathing afterwards. The product is apparently non-toxic though.

After I vacuumed the carpet, it was overall less stained. It was not a miracle worker, given the fact that these stains were old, but it still lightened my stairs which now have an overall cleaner appearance.

The product is not bad, but I find the commercial to be highly misleading. I’ve used other carpet deodorizers that you just sprinkle around then vacuum. I thought that this Resolve Deep Clean Powder would work similarly based on what I saw on TV.

It doesn’t. Be prepared to be on your hands and knees scrubbing it in wherever you put it, and be prepared to inhale that shit.
