    salt eraser... Would never recommend that.... ever.

    Same company as "dry shine" which is a "waterless wash and wax".... Never a bigger lie than that.

    Get turtle wax carpet cleaner with oxy power.

    Or a household bissel carpet cleaner... that cleaned up my carpets quite nicely last season.

    i have a bissel little green, and it worked great in conjunction with that turtlewax carpet cleaner, spray on, scrub with a brush, then use the little green to vacuum it up.

    To be honest, last season I didn't need to use a brush.

    Just spray on, hose off.

    Simple Green works better. I tried them back-to-back. Simple Green is significantly less scrubbing for slightly better cleaning.
