DustMite & Flea Control 8oz Review

DustMite and Flea Control 8oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Powder that kills dust mites dead. It dissolves in water so you can put it in a spray bottle and spray it around the house on about any surface. Left no residue when I used it and there is no lingering odor that I can sense and my sniffer picks up on things other people do not detect.
Seems to have worked so far, but I'm uncertain as the little woman is fastidious about running the vacuum due to my allergy issues. We also use it on the laundry once in a while as well. I don't know if this is truly effective, I don't examine my sheets and carpets with a microscope, I just know that mites die when you expose them to this stuff (surfactants - it's smothers the poor little allergy monsters). I used to work in a pet shop with reptiles and we had to use something like this to kill mites off every so often when a mite infested batch of critters came in. This is "old school" stuff but it's not an insecticide that the mites get immune to. Kind of like using alcohol on bacteria, it will always work.

Desolv It Citrus Solution 12 oz Review

Desolv It Citrus Solution 12 oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
De-Solv-It by Orange Sol removes sticky-icky stuff from surfaces, hair, skin, and clothing with relative ease. Gooey residue that would otherwise take a lot of time and elbow grease, if it could be removed at all, disappears with De-Solv-It and minimal scrubbing. I use it mostly to remove stickers, but it's also great for sap, gum, and any kind of adhesive residue. It works well to remove stickers from books and book jackets as long as the jacket is slick, not porous. I spray a little De-Solv-It on a paper towel and apply to the sticky scum. I wouldn't spray De-Solv-It directly onto paper, even if its coated, because De-Solv-It is oily and will stain paper if it's allowed to soak in.
Orange Solvent, the predecessor to De-Solv-It, was created in 1932 by Edwin L. Ackerman after he accidentally discovered that orange juice would remove stubborn dental impression cement from his hands. Thus citrus-based cleaners were born. Orange Sol claims that De-Solv-It works well on most kinds of stains, not just sticky stuff, including protein stains, grease, and food. I haven't tried it on food stains, as my normal laundry spot spray works on those. Ouixtar's (Amway) Tri-Zyme is hands-down the best thing on protein stains, including very old stains. De-Solv-It probably is good on grease. It was popular with people who worked on the Exxon Valdese oil spill in Alaska.
De-Solv-It is unfortunately no longer available in a squirt bottle. It comes in a 12.6 fl.oz. spray bottle. This is fine for those using it to treat laundry or large areas, but I have to spray it onto a paper towel to use it on a small area. And I really don't want this stuff to spray all over the place. There is a warning on the back of the bottle against using it on carpet backing, acrylic, some plastics, uncoated paper, suede & leather, silk, elastic, and khaki-colored fabric. But just a droplet of De-Solv-It will ruin modern furniture finishes, the kind that are applied by the manufacturer in either matte or glossy. So keep the spray bottle clear of any furnishings or wood decor that has a permanent finish.
De-Solv-It is biodegradable and emits no toxic fumes, so this is an environmentally-friendly and human-friendly product. It has a light citrus scent. Essential citrus oils, vitamin E, aloe vera, and organic wetting agents are among the ingredients. It contains no water, so this is not a diluted cleaner, and there is never any need to dilute it. You can set the nozzle to "spray", "stream", or "off". The packaging and inadequate warnings are my only reservation. Keeping that in mind, De-Solv-It makes quick work of sticky stuff.

I recently bought and used this cleaner and was really impressed with how well it did. It's a concentrate, so once it's diluted, the price is very inexpensive. I was surprised at how many different jobs it did around the house! I was planning on just cleaning the sinks and ended up unclogging drains, cleaning the toilets and mirrors. It can also be used in carpet cleaners, so I'm planning on trying that next. I also read that it fixes squeaky hinges. I like that it's an organic product but at the same time gets the job done well. So many organic products I've tried in the past did not work as well as the regular cleaners. Plus, this cleaner has such a nice, light scent that I don't have to air out the room when I'm done. All in all, I was very impressed and ordered two more bottles!

Resolve High Traffic Foam, 22-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12) Review

I bought this stuff because of a commercial I saw...I looked it up here cause I'm a big believer in customer reviews. I didn't see a bad one so I decided to give it a try. We have a couple of dogs and cats, and as great as they are they aren't accident free...whether it knocking something over or getting sick, my carpet has definitely seen better days!
I'm in the process of using right now and I can already see a big difference!! I'm using a cleaning brush instead of a mop just so I can make sure I get the stains out and I really don't have to scrub that much! This stuff is great! It doesn't leave that soaked carpet that doesn't completely dry. I can tell that my husband is even impressed even though he won't come out and say it : )
I am very happy and would definitely recommend it!

The Swiffer carpet refills are a great product. However, the company has discontinued them. Now, many of the places on Amazon are selling only the box of 12 (not several packages) for prices $40 and up to $80. For 12 items, this is a big ripoff. I think many people are ordering them thinking they're getting several boxes. Let the buyer beware.

We have 2 dogs and usually nobody that comes into our house can tell but lately they have been acting "bad". So we have been looking for something to cover the smell up and we tried several carpet deodarizers, sprays and powders. I came across this stuff in the dollar store on sale at the time and decided to try it knowing that arm and hammer works well with eliminating odors, and it worked great! Although it is very powerfull it smells great and our dogs had no problems with it I will definitely be buying it again!

RESOLVE Deep Clean Powder: 18 OZ Review

RESOLVE Deep Clean Powder: 18 OZ
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I saw the commercial and went looking for the product almost immediately. I have Berber(sp) carpet that's chocolate brown with lighter colors. Local popular grocery store, out of stock. Target, nowhere to be found. Finally, I found it at WalMart. A plus is that it came with a coupon for a rebate of your purchase price. LOTS of work. Package says for 8X10 room, not on commercial. Should at least say for smaller spaces. There's a four step process. First you shake vigorously to break up the powder. It's recommended that you only spray about 2X8 spaces at a time. Next, you HAVE to brush it into and out of the carpeting. The directions state to brush out stains. Again, not stated in the commercial. That's the harder, unexpected work. Next you wait for 20 minutes. NOW it's time to vacuum. It's also recommended to have a new bag in your vacuum or a cleaned vacuum for a bagless. This part is why I didn't give it 5 stars. It took forever to get this stuff outta the carpet. Over and over again and I used a small handheld in some spots and an upright. At the very end, I had to open the window because the powder began to fly up. Some has landed on the furniture, thank God it's leather for easy clean up. I think for the trouble I went through, I'd much rather just pay to get the carpet professionally cleaned. I think this product is best used on small stains or very small rooms with NO furniture. :) Good Luck. I think I'll pass on future purchases. Concept too good to be true.

Host Dry Carpet Cleaner Shaker Pack (C12103) Review

I've used HOST for over 20 years, both professionally applied by a carpet cleaner and in this do-it-yourself version. It's been great for my carpets and the benefit is it that it doesn't leave your carpets wet.
Recently I bought an expensive sisal rug. Sisal cannot be cleaned with any water as it will shrink and distort the shape as well as discolor. I've got two big dogs and HOST has been a miracle worker on this sisal rug. From dog urine to dog vomit this stuff has cleaned it all with no trace of what had happened left behind and no damage to the sisal. I will always have a tub of HOST around for accidents!
