What are the ingredients in this product? I have an 11 month old son and a carpet that needs to be cleaned. Can I spray directly on the carpet, have solution dry and vacuum the carpet as usual? Or do I need a carpet cleaner to do it?

I do not know specific ingredients. If your carpet needs cleaning I suggest getting the entire rug cleaned with a steam cleaner. If I had a baby crawling I would not hesitate to keep the place he or she crawled completely cleaned from edge to edge.

I don't think it contains that. It works by dehydrating the fleas and larvae. I used it on all of our carpets, the infestation was pretty bad. I spread it out and covered all I could. I think I actually used a bit less that the recommended coverage. Make sure you do what they suggest as I used a stiff push broom and work it into the carpets. You should not see any powder on the carpet surface after that. We waited about a week and then vacuumed. If the carpet gets wet, you will need to retreat that area. It is a bit of a workout but it is worth it. All of the fleas are gone. Worked great. I don't think it contains that. It works by dehydrating the fleas and larvae.

No, I have owned this machine for many years (Dec 2009) and I have run everything through it. Bleach, Mr Clean, Lysol, Pet Floor, Oxy Clean (dissolved and run through a sieve), TSP, Murphy's (a favorite) and I have used "Dry Foam" (a non-aerosol encapsulating product you mix with water) from the commercial supply house to clean the short pile rugs I have by my doorways. The only things you can't run through it are flammable solvents. I run a clean water rinse through it after I use a corrosive cleaner like bleach before putting the Floormate away. I'm here buying a Floormate as a gift for my sister in law. So my own 4 year old Floormate is still going strong with all of these other cleaning products used.

I used a dry vacuum and it wasn't effective. Maybe if you used resolve and then used a regular (wet) carpet cleaner it might help. I don't know. For me, it wasn't effective.

I steam cleaned the carpet then sprayed. I had a little less than half the bottle left over when I was done with a 1900 sq ft condo. 90% carpet. I may not have put it on thick enough though. I went slow but not super slow when applying. Also, it really didn't seem to work anyway. Had some watered down rust inside an outdoors chair and when I brought it thru the house it dripped on the carpet. Didn't do a thing to protect it and can't get it out of the carpet now. Sprayed near the doorways extra because of the high traffic area.

I don't have carpet just bare floors, I just sprinkled around the edges and put on the back of my counters and around the dog dishes. It is the only thing that I have ever purchased that got rid of the ants. I would just sprinkle on the carpets let set a couple of days and then vacuum and if you see anymore ants you could also sprinkle a little more.

I use resolve carpet cleaner in my brush. As far as the spray goes you have to run it under hot water after each use otherwise it clogs. Once I started doing that I've never had that problem again.

curious after your question, I took a spoon of baking soda and srayed ADMS on it, there was no reaction other than dissolving the soda, so I don't see why you couldn't spray it on carpet that has soda on it.

We sprayed it on carpet before retiring for bed. Letting it sit on carpet over night. So for us, it was dry by morning, ready to vacuum.

I have a carpet cleaner. I mix up a batch, and use it in the rinse water. Hope that helps!

Two bottles is a lot! Did you clean the area after the NM was applied? You may have used so much that (like with hair products) there is just too much residue. When we use it to clean the carpets (not just a spot, but a whole carpet) we also rinse the carpets with plain water (via a carpet vacuum setting) and then vacuum up all the excess water. Otherwise you get a soapy carpet. With spot cleaning we soak up as much of the accident as possible with ppr towels, then treat it with NM and leave towel on it with a heavy object while it dries. That usually does the job and all the leftover accident and excess cleaning fluid is soaked up in the process. Hope that makes sense. Two bottles is a lot!

I figured it would be iffy as this product is more or less like Goo-Gone; it removes sticky stuff. In my review, I also warned readers that when I attempted to remove a sticker from a lovely wall shelf, it took the finish completely off, so I feared it would ruin the carpet. However, I happened to have a piece of carpet. I sprayed a bit of red paint on it, let it dry and then tried Goof-Off. It did not damage the carpet but it did not remove the red paint at all. I would try rubbing some paint thinner on the spot with a stiff brush, followed by some soapy water on a sponge. This has worked for me in the past.

Use Windex or Expo cleaner to clean the board, it takes off residue.The only mess issue we've had is that if you use too much Windex it runs down the board, which can potentially stain the carpet. Just be careful.

I would call The company on that. Ill say if you have fleas in your house on the carpet you should dust or with a layer of salt and leave it for like 2 days it will naturally dry them out and it will vaccum up later. I would do this while you treat the cat since that tends to be how they stay in the house. I'm not a fan of over doing chemicals.

I believe it specifies a "Hoover" carpet cleaning solution but any carpet cleaning solution would work, even a DIY one (you can google it)

Yes, use this product directly on the stain/odor first, then after the product has had time to dry and do its work, shampoo the carpet if you wish.

I believe this is to be applied by spraying directly on the problem area. You might check with their website to see if they a product that can be used in a carpet cleaner. With this I would clean the carpet first and then apply this spray and let it dry. I think they have a solution for pet odors.
