Capture Carpet Total Care Kit 250 - Carpet Deodorizer & Freshener Powder - Spot & Stain Remover - Pet Odor Eliminator - Fresh Natural Scent - Dry Rug Powder Cleaner w/Pre-Mist Spray

I bought this because I found three large, like new (they are still being sold on the well known rug website for over five hundred for the three) at a thrift I ran into for a pet gate and the previous owner's high rise was being emptied out right then as luck had it, and the rugs were not a year old yet. The rugs are shag with padded bottoms and slate blue colored without any issues on them, but unfortunately, all three smelled like a cross between Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works in vanilla caramel. Wanting a clean slate for the safety of my family to include pets, I read online this is pretty much what is recommended for the type of rugs and what the pros and dry cleaners would use too. For the price point I figured give it a try if nothing I would just pony up elbow grease. NOTES: I bought just the powder first. I then realized I needed the whole kit and thus ordered this. You will NEED a handle for the brush, The hole for it it's small and round and my telescope window washer tool base screwed into it but my telescoping painting poles did not. If you have a small rug you could get down on the floor by hand moving the brush on a small rug, but I think anything beyond 2x3 in size, save your back and knees and get something to screw into it so you can stand up and also see what you are doing it. PROCESS: It was a little labor intensive I won't lie and a bit time consuming too at just under four hours, but the rugs are fresh, clean and no more candle/lotion odor!!! What I did was: I blew my pool deck off in the direct sunlight. I then shook out each rug on both sides first over my grass. I then laid them out on the deck and did them one by one after the other spraying the pre-treatment spray first liberally, waiting 15 minutes for it to absorb. I then began applying the powder down liberally as well and brushing it in. After that I waited 30 minutes to use my Bissell pet vacuum on highest pile setting to gently cover the rugs surfaces in straight rows and them zig zags to be sure I got the substances out. I then I hung them across my yard in direct sunshine on a new clothes line we got for this purpose. Finally, I spritzed with a Febreze fabric scent spray that we prefer and I left them in the sun for a hour. While that was happening, I prepped the indoor tile by vacuuming and mopping those areas very well with Odo-ban in preparation of the new to us rugs. I brought the rugs in and you would not be able to tell they are not brand new. The are also so soft and plushy! I know this product and all of it's steps work and well for many reasons. After each vacuum during the cleaning process, I emptied the vacuum cannister and found unseen to the naked eyes or all of the shaking prior to beginning of the cleaning...red wig hair, yellow bird feathers, possibly orange cat hair, several metal Christmas ornament hooks, two bobby pins, and two small hard metal objects- we don't know what those were. If you are looking to clean rugs and don't mind a little DIY labor, this is the product to accomplish the goal. I am very happy I tried this before paying the pros or dry cleaners to basically use the same product and technique.

I recently tried the Capture Carpet Total Care Kit, and I have to say, it’s been a total game changer for my home! As a pet owner, I’m always on the lookout for effective cleaning solutions that can handle stubborn stains and odors, and this kit did not disappoint. What I love about this product is 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. Unlike traditional carpet cleaners that can leave a soggy mess, this powder goes on dry and absorbs odors and stains without the need for harsh chemicals. It’s perfect for my pets, giving me peace of mind knowing that they’re safe while I clean. The application process is super easy. I just sprinkled the powder over the stained area, let it sit for a bit, and then vacuumed it up. The results were almost instant! Stains I thought would never come out vanished, and the room smelled fresh. Plus, I really appreciate that it’s an odor eliminator, not just a cover-up. One thing to note is that while it’s powerful, it does take a little time for the powder to fully absorb, so patience is key. But the wait is definitely worth it for the results! Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, pet-friendly carpet cleaning solution, I highly recommend the Capture Carpet Total Care Kit. It’s effective, easy to use, and leaves my home looking and smelling fantastic!

Ok first off it arrived timely but after opening the box there was powder and the lid had popped open on one side even though the safety seal was still on. So I wish the lid had stayed shut and no product had spilled out. How much product was lost, I have no idea. It still seemed pretty full. So one star off for plastic tub lid not being secured sufficiently for shipping. Second reason for not getting 5 stars is the brush. It didn’t fit any of my long handles so I had to use the brush on my hands and knees. Not a huge deal but an inconvenience for sure. Especially because it would be easy for them to include a screw together handle. Also the spray bottle is pretty cheap and flimsy. All things the complete could fix with sturdier container and spray bottle. But I will say the product did work pretty well. I still have some of the spray pre treatment left but no powder left. So I think I will probably just have to toss it. I had some stains in high traffic areas of my carpeted downstairs living room. One of the worst stains is in front of the door that leads to the garage. Walking in and out of the garage and when it gets windy more dirt and dust seems to get it really dirty. So this product did remove those really bad stains. I regularly vacuum and I shampoo at least once a year sometimes twice. So I was surprised that it lifted stains my carpet shampoo didn’t. There is another high traffic area around an end table but I think I must have needed more product to completely cover. So most of that areas got clean but I think I need a second tub of product to get it all. So yes I want to order more but with the no brush handle, flimsy spray bottle and tub lid not being secured I’m not sure if I will. Also I have a newer vacuum at about a yr and half old and it clogged it up something awful. I had to completely clean out the vacuum three times in between getting all the powder up. But yes the product does work and for the price it’s a good deal. Just wish I could buy it local somewhere.

Very happy with this product. It's not magic and does take elbow grease. I use this on a large rug in my living room where my toddler plays,and there were plenty of stains to prove it. Every step is pretty straight forward but for best results I brush pretty aggressively then re-mist the area. Sometimes additional spot cleaning is required, because again this stuff is not magic. It is a great and important first step for aggressive stains. Strongly recommend for seasonal cleaning.

This kit was perfect for cleaning up small jobs without having to pull out all of my carpet cleaning equipment. Worked really well!

I EXPECTED A MUCH LARGER SOIL RELEASE BOTTLE A 12OZ. IT SAID 16OZ BUT THAT INCLUDED THE NOZZLE. ALSO I COULDNT GET IT TO SPRAY TO WORK SO I WENT OUT N BOUGHT A BOTTLE TO POUR IT IN AND USE. MAKE SURE U WEAR A MASK TO BLOCK INHALING DUST POWDER GETS VERY DUSTY I LIKES THE WAY THERE WAS A CONTAINER WITH OPEN SLITS TO SPRINKLE THE POWDER DWN, IT MADE A CLOUD OF DUST . IT WAS A NICE SIZE CONTAINER ALSO. THE BRUSH HAD THE GROOVES TO SCREW IT ON A STICK BUT DID NOT COME WITH THE STICK. I JUST USED A REG BROOM. OVER ALL IT WASNT BAD IT CLEANED OK IT, AND IT WORKED OKAY, ALTHOUGH I HAD TO DO MY RUGS TWICE. WITH A MORE ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE ITEMS. ID GIVE IT A THUMBS UP.

A perfect partner to the Orbiter. Lifts stains, removes odors, and leaves carpets feeling soft and clean without harsh chemical smells. Great for pets and high-traffic areas. Easy to use and surprisingly effective.

Love how capture works. No smell. Great for dog issues on carpet.
