Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Woolite 850B Rug Stick Carpet & Rug Cleaner
Customer Review: Well look at that it actually works
Summary: 4 Stars
It's not a substitute for a professional shampoo or steam cleaning so don't expect those sort of results. And considering I only dropped $13 for it, including the extra can, I did not expect them either. But let me say that there is a considerable and noticeable difference in my carpet after use. The heavy traffic patterns are virtually gone and the multiple stains here and there are far less pronounced now, although not vanished. This is white medium pile carpet so given it's low budget retail limitations I am nonetheless impressed.
Pros: Delivers what it is advertised to do. Heavy traffic stains are practically gone. Spot stains are far less apparent too. Also smells much nicer in here now.
Cons: This is work. Any ad you may have seen for the stick doesn't include the repeated scrubbing required to get the best results. Dispensing the foam takes practice and is an awkward design. It's not quite as user friendly as it appears.
Overall not a perfect product and not perfect results. But for the money you'd pay renting a steamer it's worth a little elbow grease with a powerful cleaner to get just about the same result. If you are looking to freshen up your carpet, not restore it to like new, I would recommend getting this.
Customer Review: Woolite Rug Stick Review
Summary: 2 Stars
The dispenser would not dispense the foam no matter how hard I tried. The item was sold directly through Amazon.com and I requested a refund. I got a rediculous answer "For safety reasons, items that are classified as hazardous materials or use flammable liquids or gases cannot be returned to Amazon.com" Well it was OK to mail it to me but a danger to be sent back to Amazon.com. Go figure. Won't be buying from Amazon.com any more.

Customer Review: Not as great as advertised, but what is?
Summary: 4 Stars
I have all wood floors in my house, so I purchased this for my area rugs. I did not expect it to work the way the show it works on TV. Advertising happens for a reason. Anyway, what I LOVE about this is that while scrubbing with it, I get all the hair up that my vacuum leaves behind. I have two Golden Retrievers and they shed a LOT. While my vacuum does get a lot of the hair, there is always some left behind. After using the rug stick, the hair is completely gone. Now, as for the cleaner, I don't even use the spray action on the handle. It has a tendency to clog and clump in the head of the stick. I spray cleaner in a line on my rug, then use the scrubber, much easier and less frustrating. Also, if you are purchasing this, also purchase the refill of the cleaner, the cleaner bottle the include Barely cleaned both of my rugs once. Overall, I like the rug stick, it does what I purchased it to do. Customer Review: Disappointing carpet cleaner
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this after seeing the TV commercial. Made it look real easy to clean a reasonable sized area. I wasn't expecting a miracle. But I was expecting something for my money.
First, it was a good thing that I bought an extra can of foam when I got the cleaner, cause I could never get any foam out of the tiny bottle they give you in the box. I did get some foam out of the extra bottle, but it was spotty, sometimes it was foaming pretty good, other times it would barely put anything out. I did shake it often, and it worked better after each shake. Unfortunately, I got about 80 sq ft out of the bottle that was supposed to clean "up to 170 sq ft". Not even close, and it wasn't putting out nearly the foam you see in the commercial or on the box.
It didn't get the real spots out of my carpet, I really foamed up one spill and although it faded it is still there. I just don't have confidence that it is really penetrating into the carpet, no matter how long you brush it.
Bottom line, if you have a large area to clean, try another method. If you have any real bad stains, try another method. If you don't like to stop and shake the can every 5 minutes, try another method.
Customer Review: I like the rug stick

I coveted the Rug Stick after seeing the commercial and kept waiting for it to show up on shelves. Finally I just orderer it from Amazon. The product works best for spot cleaning. It is perfect for when my cat throws up and I can clean it up right away, with my cat watching suspiciously from a short distance. I also use it in combination with my Bissell #14007 Little Green Port Cleaner. First, I Rug Stick then I use the Green Machine to clean up the Woolite detergent.
