Capture Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner w/Resealable lid - Home, Car, Dogs & Cats Pet Carpet Cleaner Solution - Strength Odor Eliminator, Stains Spot Remover, Non Liquid & No Harsh Chemical (2.5 lb)

I recently used the Capture Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner, paired with the Capture Pre-Mist Soil Release and Spot Eliminator, and I’m blown away by the results! This dry cleaning system is a total game-changer for keeping carpets and rugs looking fresh and spotless without the hassle of wet cleaning. I tackled a variety of stains in my home—pet accidents, coffee spills, and some mystery marks on a high-traffic area rug—and this trio worked like magic.The process is incredibly simple and effective. I started by spraying the Capture Pre-Mist on the stained areas, which loosened up tough, set-in stains like coffee and grease with ease. Then, I sprinkled the Capture Dry Cleaning Powder, which acts like tiny sponges to soak up dirt and odors. After lightly brushing it in with the included carpet brush, I let it sit for about 30 minutes before vacuuming. The result? My carpets looked revitalized, smelled fresh, and were completely dry—no dampness or sticky residue! The powder’s ability to absorb stains and odors, especially when paired with the Pre-Mist, is impressive, and the Spot Eliminator was a lifesaver for stubborn grease spots.What I love most is how safe and convenient this system is. It’s free of harsh chemicals, making it perfect for homes with kids and pets, and it’s gentle enough for delicate wool rugs. The fact that it doesn’t require steam or shampoo means no waiting for carpets to dry, and the results rival professional cleaning at a fraction of the cost. Pairing the Dry Cleaner with the Pre-Mist and Spot Eliminator truly maximizes its stain-fighting power, ensuring every mark is addressed. This combo is a must-have for anyone looking to keep their carpets pristine. Five stars for an innovative, effective, and easy-to-use product

This product is quite effective in cleaning a carpet. Spray on a pre-treatment mist, brush in the damp, dusty product, let it dry and vacuum. Done, ready to use. It does make a sort of sawdust-looking mess, but that is the essential function of how it cleans - and that residue vacuums up nicely. This is especially good for carpets that are too unwieldy to take outside for a wetter process. I use a floor machine with a soft brush to force the product deep into the carpet/rug - but that may not be suitable for a fragile/delicate rug. It would be good to use the whole batch sooner than later because it is likely going to dry out over a fairly short time and become ineffective.

We purchased both the capture brand and the Oreck brand of Dry Carpet cleaner and we couldn't tell any difference. The dry carpet cleaner did a great job in many areas, and was especially good at restoring old, greasy spots in our carpeting (think where the carpet touches a hard surface like the entrance to your house). We were disappointed that neither nor Oreck did a great job of cleaning the carpets. I firmly believe in the dry carpet cleaning system, but they both left a bunch of spots behind that we had to manually clean with another spray.Still, if you haven't tried dry carpet cleaning before, it is so much better for the carpets overall and really makes them revive much better than the wet systems do. Additionally, the particles that are left behind continue to act as little sponges and continue to clean over time. I just wish there were a better machine out for helping beat the dry cleaner into the rug (we used Oreck's orbiter but it just did an ok job--we used to be able to rent another brand's machine that did a much better job.)Pros:When the pre-release and the dry carpet cleaner are used together with the right machine, the results are magicalRevitalizes carpetContinues to clean carpet with powder left behind in carpet each time you vacuumCons:Hard to find good machine to get the dry cleaner into the carpetVery expensive powder for larger areas. We went through 26 lb. of dry powder in our house.

This cleaner is amazing. Works so good.Cleans up spots and brightens carpets.Easy to use. No heavy carpet cleaner to haul around.Light fragrance.

We started using this in the early 1990s for dog accidents, but have used it to clean entire rugs and for other spot cleaning. It works extremely well and has a great fresh scent. We've used it on very expensive rugs, and those rugs have maintained their like-new appearance for years.The way it works is ingenious: with a little dampness the particle expand and contact the dirt particles. When they dry, the particles shrink but keep the dirt attached. Vacuuming removes both the Capture particle and the attached dirt particle(s).Tip: do not saturate the area with the (required) Pre-Mist spray; use a light mist. Put another way, if the area is not dry and able to be vacuumed in about 30 minutes, then you are using too much Pre-Mist.
