"I was skeptical at first, but after using this product, I was amazed at how well it worked. Spots and odors disappeared, and my carpet didn't stay damp. I highly recommend it!"

"After trying to clean my old wool rug, I found this product and decided to give it a shot. I used a sifter for application and a different brush to work it in. While I didn't see a huge difference in the Before & After, I was relieved it didn't damage my rug and felt it was cleaner overall. I might use it again."

"I absolutely love this product! I just sprinkle it on my rug and work it in with my fingers. After letting it sit, I vacuumed it up, and it smells fantastic! It's perfect for rugs that can't go in the washing machine. Just a heads up, I wouldn't use it directly on wooden floors."

"I was impressed with how well this product cleaned my carpet. It looked brand new afterwards, and it really freshened up the room. While it didn’t completely eliminate the cat smell, it definitely helped. The process is a bit different, as you sprinkle it on and let it sit, but it dries quickly if you stay off it for a bit."

"After losing my dog, our carpet was in rough shape. I didn't expect much but decided to give this a shot. I used the entire bucket on two rooms, scrubbed it in, and let it sit for a long time. The results were incredible—the carpets looked brand new, and all discoloration was gone!"

"I’ve tried this product a few times, especially in high-traffic areas. The results have been fantastic! I think it might even be better than my shampooer. I did the process twice, and the outcome is definitely worth it, avoiding the hassle of using another machine."

"I recently tried the Capture Carpet Total Care Kit, and I must say, it's been a game changer for my home! As a pet owner, I'm always searching for effective cleaning solutions for stubborn stains and odors, and this kit truly delivered. I love that it's designed for various surfaces—whether it's my couch, car rugs, or upholstery, it works like a charm. The non-liquid formula is especially impressive; it goes on dry and absorbs odors and stains without harsh chemicals, keeping my pets safe while I clean. The application was easy: I sprinkled the powder, let it sit, and vacuumed it up, with instant results! Stains I thought would never come out vanished, and my home smelled fresh. Highly recommend for reliable, pet-friendly carpet cleaning!"

"I had the vacuum cleaner repair guy recommend this product to me a few months back, so I decided to give it a try. I ended up using it on some seriously nasty carpet after my dog had an accident. I followed the directions and left it on for at least four hours. When I vacuumed it up, I was speechless! The carpet looked brand new! I never thought that a solution sprayed on the carpet with powder on top could remove such a horrible stain. I will never use a carpet cleaning machine or professional cleaners again. This is now my go-to for cleaning carpets. It's a bit of work since I can only do small areas at a time, but it's affordable compared to professional cleaning."

"I must admit, I was a bit ambivalent about my experience. The product arrived with a defective lid, spilling some powder, but I decided to use it anyway because I needed to clean my carpets. I moved into a place with wall-to-wall carpet that had a strange odor, even after the landlord claimed it was professionally cleaned. I found this cleaning kit online and it worked wonders! After cleaning one bedroom and the staircase, the odor was gone! It was easy to use, though vacuuming up all the powder took some effort. I love that it smelled clean during use without leaving any perfume afterward, which is great for my sensitive nose. I'm ordering more for the other rooms, hoping for better packaging next time!"

“I used Dry Slurry on our church carpet, and it worked awesome! There’s no strong smell, just a clean look and feel.”

“I was amazed by how well it worked. I mixed it with hot water in my carpet cleaner, and the results were incredible. I wouldn't have believed it unless I tried it myself.”

“This product did a fantastic job removing years of stains. My carpets feel soft and fluffy again, and the stale smell is gone.”

"After 50 years of dry cleaning carpets, I found SaniClean to be a game changer! It exceeded my expectations with immediate results. As an elderly and disabled person, I truly appreciate how easy it is to use and how wonderful it smells. My 25-year-old light beige carpet looks brand new! Thank you, SaniClean!"

"I've never encountered a carpet cleaner as simple and effective as SaniClean! The process is just four easy steps: sprinkle, brush, let dry, and vacuum. I can't wait to tackle my other carpets!"

"With two large dogs, my cream-colored area rug was getting dirty fast. After using SaniClean, I brushed it in and vacuumed, and it looked brand new again! The light fragrance and quick drying time were such a relief."

"I bought a home and found some unidentified stains on the carpet, probably from pet accidents. I decided to try this product, which the previous owner left behind, and I was really pleased with the results. Not only did it tackle the stains, but it also worked well for cleaning the entire area. I will definitely purchase it again."

"Having a dog and dealing with frequent shedding and traffic patterns, I use this product between professional cleanings. It does a fantastic job and has a pleasant clean scent that doesn't overwhelm, which is perfect for my sensitivity to fragrances."

"I had some stubborn stains on my pure wool area rug from leaking mulch bags. After following the instructions closely, I found that while the stains didn't completely disappear, the rug smelled lovely and looked somewhat refreshed. I’m unsure if I would buy it again at the current price, but I might consider it if it were cheaper."

"I tried this along with the powder, and it worked really good. My carpet had some bad spots, and it cleaned it quite well. I was pleasantly surprised!! I will order more of this."

"I’ve used several brands of 'Carpet Sprinkle Cleaner' for over 15 years. I decided to try this brand recently, and I'm so glad I did! It is absolutely the best carpet cleaner! My carpet looks brand new, and the smell is very natural. I will buy no other brand again!"

"I have always used Oreck dry carpet cleaner solution, but I decided to try this brand. It works just as good as Oreck and is much cheaper. I’m pleased with the results!"

"I used this product and it made a big difference on my carpet. It's the best carpet cleaner I've tried so far."

"My poor senior dog had accidents all over the house. I opted for this spot cleaner since I couldn't use my upright rug cleaner. Although I think I used too much spray, it does work if you follow the directions and let it sit long enough before vacuuming. One thing to note is that when vacuuming with a powerhead, you have to go very slowly. I gave it three stars because it does require patience to use."

"I've been using this product for about 20 years. It's a great carpet cleaner! I apply the Prius first, then the powder, and after using the vacuum, my carpet looks clean again."

"I love this carpet cleaner! I just wish they had a gallon refill option. We have two large German shepherds and two cats, one with special needs. This cleaner has no smell and effectively removes stains and odors from any animal accidents. We’ve been using it for years!"

"As a pre-treater for carpet stains, especially from dog accidents, I find this product effective. I follow up with the Capture Rug and Cleaning powder. After letting it dry, the stains disappear completely!"

"This product is relatively easy to use but does take some effort. It has a pleasant lemony scent that doesn’t cause allergies. Although it slightly clogged my vacuum filters, it’s not a big issue. It worked well initially, but some odor returned after a few weeks. My dog had serious issues, and this helped reduce the stench significantly."

"I've been using this product for years. It removes stains without any residue, and I highly recommend it."

"For over 20 years, I've cleaned my carpets with Capture. It's incredible for lifting stains and keeping my carpets clean. I wouldn't choose anything else."

"I simply apply it and wait. The cleaner changes to the color of the stain. Once it’s dry, I vacuum it up. For stubborn stains, I let it sit overnight."
