Febreze™ Carpet Care Spring Cleaning Giveaway–Win a $100 Amex Gift Card or Febreze™ Products (5 winners total) (Now Closed)

 

Wow, can you believe it. We made it through the winter. Spring is finally upon us, which means one thing. Cleaning time!

 

Between the rain showers here we’ve had some beautifully unseasonal weather this March. Since I have a new little one arriving in less than 3 months I’ve been making the most of it by getting started early. Of course one of the first things on my list, the carpet.  It’s hard for me to even imagine that I’ve had it less than 2 years, because to be honest at this point it looked like more than 5. 

 

Since our last Febreze™ giveaway I have banned almost all foods in the living room but…. they almost always make their way there when I’m not looking.  We had stains galore. Yogurt, cheese puffs, juice, milk, and even melted crayon. Tons of melted crayon!!  We have a small blower type furnace in our living room. One morning I awoke to see that the crayons left out overnight had melted on my beige carpet! The very reason I got new carpet in the first place!

 

New Febreze™ Carpet Care Products

I was so happy to see that since the last time I teamed up with Febreze™ they have added 3 new products. Allergen carpet care, Toughspot Oxy stain remover & pretreater, and pet stain & odor remover.

 

I had it all planned out that Saturday after returning from shopping I would test out the Oxy stain remover before cleaning my carpets with the Oxygen action carpet care but upon my return my husband had already done it (which is a miracle in and of itself)! I was amazed to see that almost all the spots were far less noticeable. Some spots were completely gone. It made a HUGE improvement. In fact both products together removed all the stains except for the melted crayon.  Unfortunately I don’t have a before and after since my husband jumped the gun before I could take them.   I do have this after picture when I started testing the product myself on one of the remaining stains.

 

You can see the color coming off the carpet onto the rag

 

 

As you can see the color is actually coming off on the rag.  Now you must remember I did nothing to treat these stains or remove them for probably a good 3 months.  The ToughSpot Oxy Stain Remover does not include ‘melted crayon’ amongst the things it can remove so it was a long shot to begin with but overall I am happy with the progress that was made & I feel if I keep working on it I can probably get most of that color out of the carpet. I really believe that had I used the pretreater to begin with I probably would have been able to remove it (just my thoughts).

 

Lessons Learned

Soo.. some important lessons learned here. First, the Febreze™ ToughSpot Oxy Stain Remover & Pretreater worked for me on yogurt, dirt, juice, (even baby poop stains – don’t ask).  Second, next time I have a stain I’m grabbing the pretreater immediately, not waiting 3 months!! Third, always pick up crayons before going to bed!

 

Overall I definitely, as always, recommend the Febreze™ Carpet Care products for your spring cleaning. They leave your house smelling & looking amazingly clean.
