Resolve Triple Action Spot Carpet Cleaner
Best spot remover for carpets
- Removes a variety of stains
- Safe for cotton, nylon and sisal rugs
- Does not remove all stains completely
- Less effective on set-in stains
In professional tests, Resolve Triple Action Spot Carpet Cleaner proves effective against a variety of stains. When put to the test against set-in stains on nylon carpet panels, it does very well against French dressing and spaghetti sauce and fairly well against coffee and red wine. It also successfully removes coffee, salsa and dirt from cotton, nylon and sisal rugs. User reviews are generally favorable, saying that Resolve is easy to use and has a pleasant scent. Consumers find that "Even tough stains like mud, grape juice, and others are eliminated with relative ease" if the product is used promptly. However, Resolve may not be effective against stains that have had time to set. While users generally like Resolve, they are still more enthusiastic about Woolite Oxy Deep Spot and Stain Carpet Cleaner (*Est. $5.75 for 22 oz.); however, this product has not been put to the test in professional reviews. In professional tests, Resolve scores slightly below the top performer, Bissell OxyPro Carpet Spot & Stain Remover (*Est. $5.85 for 14 oz.).
