ARM & HAMMER Dry Carpet Cleaners Review & Giveaway

What can be worse then beige carpet and 8 muddy paws tracking across it daily? How about 16 muddy paws and 4 spill prone kids! Yes, with the addition of two new puppies are carpets officially stand no chance. If you have been a reader of mine you are probably tired of hearing me complain and are wishing just as much as I am that we get wood floors installed ASAP. Unfortunately, it will be at least another six months...sigh. Until then I must make due.

I'm always open to learning more about the latest carpet cleaning products and was thrilled to be introduced to Arm & Hammers new Stubborn Stain Dry Cleaner Pouch and Pet Fresh Stubborn Stain Dry Carpet Cleaner Shakers. I have never used a dry carpet cleaner before and was very curious as to how they worked.

Arm & Hammer Stubborn Stain Odor Eliminating Dry Carpet Cleaner absorbs allergens, eliminates odors and breaks down stains. The cleaning particles work like sponges to absorb dirt, tough spots and odors embedded into your carpet's fibers.  Arm & Hammer Odor Eliminating Dry Carpet Cleaner leaves your carpets clean, dry and ready for use. Let the suction power of your vacuum to do the work! Check out this video to see the cleaner in action!

It seemed simple enough...... I sprinkled the dry powder over the stain, brushed it in and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Then all I had to do was vacuum it up. For my first test I had to try it on some of those stubborn muddy paw prints, as that is my main stain problem. Being that it was a dry stain I spritzed it with water first, then applied the Arm & Hammer Stubborn stain remover, and let it sit. About an hour later I was ready to make my rounds vacuuming and also check out the Power of my new Eureka vacuum I was sent as a thank you - I love it!!!

Not only were the dirty prints gone, but it left a nice aroma.

IDK why the carpet looks darker, maybe because the sun was going down??

However a bigger test emerged later that night as are central air unit became clogged and started to leak a murky mess of water onto our carpet. We quickly unclogged the line and I tried my best to suction out the excess water from the carpet, but from previous experiences me and my husband knew the carpet would be left with a nasty water ring. He brought up the idea of sprinkling the stain remover over the area and letting it sit over night - if nothing else we figured it would absorb some water and leave the area smelling fresher.

When I woke-up I seen the brownish yellow ring seeping through the white of the stain remover, I shrugged to my husband and said it was worth a shot. As I started to vacuum up the powdered stain remover, I realized the stain I seen was soaked into the powder, not my rug! As I sucked up the stain remover the stain disappeared with it. This alone made me a huge fan of this product. It saved a pretty decent sized area of my carpet and for that I will be forever grateful.
