Tools and Hardware Reviews of Woolite 850B Rug Stick Carpet & Rug Cleaner
Customer Review: Wast of Time and Money
Summary: 1 Stars
The stretch of carpet in my family room that runs between the kitchen and entrance into the garage is, unquestionably, a high traffic area as it's how we enter and leave the house. I'm forever trying to keep it clean, to the point where I use my steam cleaner on it at least once a month. That's a hassle though, because the carpet stays wet for about a day and it's tough to get a stretch of time where I can keep my family from using the carpet. So when I saw the commercial for the Woolite Heavy Traffic Carpet Cleaner with Rug Stick, I thought I'd give it a try. If it worked, I'd have a quick way to maintain the carpet between steam cleanings, because the product is basically a foam that you spray into the carpet and then vacuum when it's dry. Presumably, you're vacuuming a lot of dirt up with the dried foam.
Only not so much. I gave my carpet a thorough vacuuming before trying the Woolite product this morning. Assembling the Rug Stick was easy enough, but I was a bit surprised to see that the box included only a trial size can of the foam cleaner. Still, the area I needed to clean is approx. 15' by 3', so it was enough.
The first problem became obvious as soon as I started trying to apply the foam with the Rug Stick. The directions say to pull the stick toward you to apply the cleaner. Well, let's just say that doesn't work nearly as well as it looks on the commercials and on the packaging. Instead of applying nice, even stripes of the foam to the carpet with a single pull of the applicator, it hiccuped and only put out random streaks of foam. I had to go back over each section two or three times to get any kind of coverage. And finding the correct angle to get the can to spray through the rug stick wasn't easy. I finally found that angling the stick close to 90 degrees worked best -- not the 45 degree angle shown in the directions. The directions also say to shake the can several times while using it, which I did, but that didn't keep the foam from glopping up on the applicator.
Took me about 30 minutes to get a decent amount of foam brushed into the carpet.
Waited about 60 minutes to be sure the foam was dry, and then vacuumed it. Made several passes to be sure I removed all the dried foam, which I had to do because the foam was invisible once I brushed it into the carpet, so I couldn't easily see how much I was getting out with the vacuum.
After a good 15 mins. with the vacuum, I called it a day. I have a bagless vacuum, and I'd estimate that there were 1 1/2 cups of something in the canister after I was finished. Looked like kind of a dirty dust, much like I always find in the canister when I dump it.
I saw absolutely no change in the carpet. It looked no cleaner than before I used the Woolite Heavy Traffic Carpet Cleaner and Rug Stick.
I would not recommend it, nor will I buy it again.
