How much are you supposed to put down? So I'll ask you experts: how heavily does this need to be laid down in order to be effective, and how much is too much?

I've been using the Zorb with my non-dyson vacum. Light colored carpet and two dogs. I use a strainer ( a sifter was recomended but I didn't have one) to pour the powder into then shake it sparingly over the carpet. Then I take a push broom or a regular broom and work it into the carpet. I use about 6-8 ounces for a 10 X12 room, after vacuming the carpet first. I let it dry - minimum 30 minutes but it can still be a little damp and may leave residue on your vacume suction area that you will have to clean off. But it works great and my 5 year old carpet (remember the dogs) looked great. I found that if I can wait several hours, or even overnight, it works even better and vacumes up better. I do have to vacume a couple of times but the results are so worth it. Saw that it was sold by Target online, but it is not available in any stores near me. Also, if you use too much,it will take longer to dry. Problem is that you can't always tell if it is dry inside the carpet, may feel dry to the touch on the top of the carpet. If you vacume before it is dry it will also leave stuff on your vacume suction areas. I use once a month. I have a steam cleaner, but it doesn't work as well as Zorb does. Just wish it was easier to find locally.

I think the key thing is to use it consistently, and in the proper pattern. and in accordance to your weather In my case, in the fall, I need to ensure the immediate 20' surrounding my house is covered at least every month, to keep them from tunneling under porch and hibernating there. (I have 2 acres of yard and am in Zone 7, so I have to sacrifice some parts during the year and winter months) In the spring (as soon as you see activity in the perimeter), start your dosing, if they have infiltrated close, drive them out by doing a 10-20' perimeter closest to your house/center of the lawn week 1, the next band (21-40') the next week, and then band 41-60' etc to your edge perimeter. If that works, then you can just treat that outer perimeter every month-6weeks for the rest of the year. This worked well for me this year. If you get a lot of rain, you may need to tighten your dosing windows, but 4-6 weeks the oil should last given ~1" of rain/watering a week.

It would be too much power... working at the limit... i would say not advisable to do it

Are you using too much of it? You are only supposed to use a few drop and work it in.Isabelle C.

It needs something behind it to be effective. That being said, it works well then. I'm using it right now, and I have it turned upside down! It depends how I am sitting or laying down how I use it. The fact that it is not flat, like a pillow for instance, means that it can be put in lots of different positions.I like its small size and flexibility. I generally use my own thinking to make things be the way I want them to!

Instructions says not to lay on it. You use it just as in PT, lay it over the area needed. You van prop something against it too.

I haven't taken mine down since I put it together, but I don't see it being a problem. The instructions however, could be alittle more detailed.

Can take down, but probably 5 minutes to take down and 5 to 10 minutes to put back up. Best to leave up if you can.

I'm 5'5" /70 year old woman, and I can just barely put mine up. I always find a guy to help me shove the middle up first so that I can raise the corners. I threw my back out after two Saturdays in a row at farmers' market, setting up and taking down my tent, putting it back in the case and loading it and the corner weights back in my SuV; and I had to go through 2 months of physical therapy to get my lower back restored to normal, and alleviate the pain in my hip and leg. So, I quit farmers' market after the first two Saturdays, and I'll find help before I set my tent up again.

It is not really an easy thing to do properly. It needs to be anchored on all 4 corners to something that can withstand any wind and remain tensioned so that it doesn't appear to sag. Mine is actually folded up in my shed unused.

Thank you Johnny for your answer. Obviously I thought they would have to lay down; but all the directions/comments read you had to "stand" them up. Again, thank you.

Hi!...You can put up and taken down as often as you like. Its very easy to install and remove. I love it!

hmmm, depends. Are you joking? why would you want to use it lying down? If someone has to use it lying down they might not have the strength or coordination to do it lying down. I could probably do it, but not effectively. Someone could probably do it with their upper extremities if someone held it, or even with the feet if someone held it up.

It depends on what you are doing as to how much it has to be inflated. Over all I personally am very dissatisfied with the product. It is way too bulky. I there it away.

I did a full countertop and an island. I goofed on the island and had to do I section over. After I finished the project I still had a little left over which I discarded. Just don't put it on heavy.Take your time and you will like the results

did you put in too much oil? if you overfill, you can't do it-- need to leave a lot of head space...

depends on how you disperse the load, but I'd advise you - don't do it. This is not a good product and the manufacturer does not stand behind it.
