Im here to tell you, firsthand, that this carpet cleaner --invented by Mr. Beach Runner himself -- really, really works. I had stains that no one could get out from those teenager's food fights last spring break. Two pro steam cleaners couldnt get them out. I came down here to SoWal this week partly to arrange for installation of a replacement carpet. (That I really can't afford right now.) BR, you guys saved my you-know-what! Sorry renters, no new carpet for you this year! The only thing is, like BR says, you have to watch out because it will make the stained area cleaner than the rest of the rug. Better than looking at a year old patch of Mad Dog 20/20 though. BR, tell your man thanks for me, ok?

:cool: That is so cool KB and BR! I bet the lighter areas will even out in a short time. I've had that happen once or twice when I spot treated and soon you couldn't tell the difference.

I agree! I've been using Capture for years. It's awesome the way it works!

Is it a machine or something you spray on the carpet? I have a two year old. You know I need this stuff.

It is a mist and dry cleaner that you sprinkle on and brush into the nap - it works great!!!! I also put off getting new carpet down there after using it!!!!

You can buy it at Home Depot :clap_1: :clap_1:

It also says it's non-toxic and safer for pets and children than other cleaners. And basically you just vacuum up the powder after 30 minutes. You have to wonder how it works.

Here's a link to their site. They have a statement that it is non-toxic and safe around kids and pets. I purchase it at Home Depot, but it's available at other stores as well.

Thanks! That's great to hear. I'll tell my husband.

BTW he just applied for another patent that should be worth a kajillion dollars and have as big of an impact. I don't remember how many patents he has - I've lost track. I think it's unusual for a corporate executive of his age to still be inventing things and running circles around the young Ph.D.'s in chemistry and engineering. He just thinks these things up in his spare time because his job is to be an executive, not a hands-on engineer.

I know when he comes up with a new idea. He normally sleeps like a log, but when he invents something, he's very restless, gets up at daybreak, and writes down his ideas. With this last patent, he couldn't wait until daybreak - he was up in the middle of the night documenting his thoughts.

:cool:
Maybe that's what SS is actually doing at daybreak too! Simply "documenting her thoughts". :lol:

Neither. It's a system.

BR, it's so great your husband invents things on top of everything else. And gets them patented too.

I had the idea in the mid 80s of using microwavable, heat-conductive foam to make heated teddy bears, but didn't get a patent. Wouldn't have any clue how to do that. Finally someone came and patented the idea a few years ago. They call them Teddy Warmhearts, but I like mine better: Warm Fuzzies. It was going to be a line, not just teddies. Everyone needs something warm to sleep with: Dogs and Teddies for the kids, "Luke Warm, The Perfect Man" for your newly divorced best friend. ;-) Coulda woulda shoulda, huh!

LOL. But typically highly-intelligent people (which obviously SS is) do get creative thoughts in the middle of the night and just have to get up. They also don't need as much sleep as people of lesser intelligence, from what I've read, that is (but I'm not an expert on this subject).

KB,I like your idea. I know I always fall asleep fast cuddled up w/ my pup. She's like a little heating pad.
( Hubby is too hot)

I once had the idea of a portable toothbrush with toothpaste inside that you could squeeze up into the brush. I too, did not pursue my idea. I walked into the Meijer store one day and there it was...almost exactly how I had imagined it except theirs had a little wheel to crank. I always buy them for camping and for kids to take on overnights etc.. They're great.

Due to the great reviews here, I've been trying to find Capture to use on our rental house carpet. I've checked Home Depot and Bed, Bath & Beyond with no luck. I'll keep trying, but does anyone know where to find it in the Destin area? I'll try Linens and Things next.

I saw racks of it right next to the Customer Service Dep't at the Home Depot in Panama City yesterday. Good luck!

I bought some at the Home Depot in Destin around Christmas - it was by the appliance section.
