Optimum Carpet & Fabric Cleaner & Protectant Review!

[mrclean]

hello guys i got a sweet package in the mail. Thanks to my friend nick & autogeek, i was selected to review this great product from optimum.Its one of the best carpet cleaners i've used. Today, as i was doing a client's car i encountered the nastiest carpet. Heavily dirty and very nasty. lucky for me, i packed optimum carpet & fabric cleaner. This is a real test folks. I put it to work on a daily driver and i used regular tools so everyone can see the power of the product. so here we go...

first things first, here's the picture of the nasty carpet.

RIDGID 4-Gal. Wet/Dry Vac Model # WD4070, just bought it yesterday for my hhr unit im putting together.

and a regular microfiber towel. there's many to choose from here:

i began like i always do with any carpet thats heavily dirty, by vacuuming it:



after a couple of good thorough vacuum passes, it was time to spray the product.



Optimum Carpet & Fabric Cleaner & Protectant has almost a odorless smell to it and lathers up quite well in the carpet. here's how i scrub the carpet. notice how i mask half of the carpet with blue tape so we can all see how well the product will perform.



quickly after a good scrubbing, and while most of the dirt was lifted off the carpet.. i used a microfiber towel and with a twisting technique i began to pick up any dirt that might've been left.



i quickly vacuum again after using the mf towel to unveil very dramatic results. here's the famous 50/50 shot that we all love.Optimum Carpet & Fabric Cleaner & Protectant did an excellent job cleaning this dirty carpet.



but i still had the other side to do, using the same techniques i was left with this clean and totally new carpet!



after first hand experience with this product i must say its awesome and i HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. extremely powerful at cleaning, and very safe to use. if youre looking for a carpet cleaner.. this is it folks, top notch product from a company we all know produces nothing but the best!

Looks great! As far as protection is concerned, does liquid bead up like it does after an application of 303 Fabric Protectant?

hello quicksilver, i forgot to take pictures of the protection power it has.. i had to finish that interior quick and move on to the next car.. but to answer your question, yes, it does bead up liquid and protects.

looks good... if protection is there it might be worth it.. otherwise folex will prob do as good or better

The description on AGO does not claim water repellency?

Can you post some beading shots?
