does it bleach color from carpets
806092
Don't know about carpets, since I hate them, but I have used this for over 20 years on couches, chairs, curtains, etc. with nary a change in color. Follow the directions and the standard advice (test YOUR carpet in an area that won't show) - but unless your carpet was dyed with some kind of odd process, I doubt you will find that it bleaches with this product. Hope this helps.xx,mgh (Madelyn Griffith-Haynie - ADDandSoMuchMore dot com)- ADD Coach Training Field founder; ADD Coaching co-founder -"It takes a village to educate a world!"

No it doesn't, you will have to use the hand held attachment, this machine does good at getting stains out

In my opinion your chances are slim-to-none that your carpet will look any better using dye to cover a bleach mark. The dye is unlikely to match the color of the carpet, and if the carpet's not a natural fiber the dye may not take at all. Besides, it's suppose to be done using extremely hot water for a period of time, like in the washing machine. Really, you will just make a mess. I wouldn't do it.

I'm not sure. It does have bleach in it. I have found that bleach products aren't very good about taking out yellowing stains. I use this product because I have well water that has a high iron content. When used in my washer it does well with keeping the orange stains away from my whites. I think it's worth a try. If not have you considered taking the comforter to a dry cleaner? They are usually pretty good at getting out stains. Good luck

Yes, it does - unfortunately the pet stains I had on one rug were too much & just sent it out for professional cleaning - but, it did a great job on our indoor/outdoor carpets that were muddy from our dogs!

It does not steam and it is suppose to vacuum up the water/cleaning solution you sprayed on the carpet along with the stain, however the suction is very poor so it does not suck up much water. I have to blot up the wet solution with an old towel or paper towel. The brush agitates to work in the cleaning solution, that is the only value to this machine, or you could just spray your carpet with a good cleaning solution and agitate by hand with a brush, blot up with a towel and you can do the same thing without buying this.

No, it is not designed at all for carpet cleaning, only for hard surfaces. There is a device that attaches to the bottom which enables the user to "freshen up" a carpet but all it does is inject some steam. It does not remove stains.

We used the Pumie (also sold on Amazon) to remove green stains from our toilet. I don't know if it would remove iron stains. The Fluidmaster MAINTAINS the bowl. It does a fantastic job. There is no bleach smell. Good luck! Kali

Yes, use the Bio-Kleen Carpet & Rug Shampoo Concentrate. It does an excellent job removing spots and stains, and leaves a slight citrus scent after you are finished. Works very well, no chemicals.

I have used it on both light blue and beige carpets with no problems. I won't use anything else but Simple Green.

The simple answer is no. I must tell you that it is not intended for carpets however. That being said I think I stated that it smells like it is simply very strong bleach. I personally don't think it would work on anything. I knew the risk I was taking using it on carpet as it does say "don't do it". The result was that the stain over several applications did lessen but nothing you would be proud of IMHO. I was trying to clean an area of carpet that my puppy had peed on when he was small.

Yes it does, it doesn't damage the carpet. Altho keep in mind its a light vacuum, not for thick carpets.

No. In my experience, when I first use it, it looks like it discolored the carpet. However, the color of my carpet is normal after a while.

No, not at all. I only sweep the floor prior to using. It comes with pads that go on the unit. They are washable. I do not use bleach when washing them and I do not put them in the dryer where fabric softener has been. Hope this helps.

It worked on the urine in the front of toilet better than bleach. I used this product with the Rubbermaid power scrubber and it worked great!

I found that it really doesn't remove stains. I use it about once a month to keep the carpet looking and smelling fresh.

No. Don't buy this machine. It does not pick up strings, lint and hair from a carpet. Not worth the money. It will not work with a shag carpet.
