Resolve is a registered trademark name for cleaning products packaged through Reckitt Benckiser. You may not recognize the name Reckitt Benckiser, but you will recognize some of their popular product lines: Lysol, Mucinex and Woolite. Reckitt Benckiser has a line of carpet cleaning products in both spray and powder form. I purchased an 18-ounce container of Resolve Deep Clean Powder and was stunned to see what it did to my carpet.
How It's Applied
First, you vacuum the carpet. The 18 ounce "Resolve Deep Clean Powder" container says it will clean up to an 8 foot by 10 foot area. The directions say to first shake the container. The bright red container has a twist top much like a container of baby powder. They tell you to sprinkle the concoction on a small area where you are then to work it into the carpet fibers using a soft bristled brush. You are to continue brushing and applying more cleaner if needed to lift stains. After waiting 20 minutes for the powder to dry, you vacuum it up using a new bag in the vacuum.
The Ultimate Challenge
I have an 8 foot by 10 foot wool fiber area rug. The decorative rug has a creamy background with a border of colorful flowers and a flower medallion in the center. I allowed our dog to lie on the rug, a decision only dog lovers will appreciate. The dog's area of the rug became obvious as her fur oils left a darkened area on the creamy part of the rug. As disappointing as that was, it wasn't until I had been away from the house for a day that upon my return, it was clear we had a dog in the house. That area rug smelled horrible, something that I became accustomed to and didn't recognize until my nasal passages had cleared.
Having tried spray carpet cleaners to no avail, I paid the high price for this container of Resolve powder carpet cleaner. At Wal-Mart, the container cost almost $8. Seemed like a lot, but that is far, far cheaper than having the carpet professionally cleaned, and that was assuming the powder would work.
