Having three little ones with a very active lifestyle keeps me consistently on my toes and I’m ALWAYS cleaning. One thing that I do not suggest is carpet (especially light colored carpet) in high traffic areas of your home, but we moved in to a place that already had carpet installed so it was something we had to deal with. Even with a “stain resistant” carpet – the stains did not clean up as easily as it warranted and after years of spills, no matter what we did and how well we cleaned, the high traffic areas in our home were beyond cleaning despair – until now.
Upkeep of light colored carpet when you have little ones in the house is not necessarily difficult, but definitely a challenge and I found that my husband and I spent a lot of money on carpet cleaning products in the past that cleaned very small sections without issue but the follow up and keep up of it began to be expensive. At one point – we even discussed ripping the entire carpet out – but financially it wasn’t feasible. Recently my husband and I tested the Resolve Easy Clean Pro Kit that came with the Carpet Cleaner Gadget and a Foam Refill. The set retails at most stores like Walmart & Target for about $20 and in some cases cheaper and the replacement foam can retail for about $15.00 if purchased separately. I’ll be honest in saying that we really weren’t sure that the cleaner would work and I was not easily a believer.
Check out my video below that outlines putting together the unit and shows you how easy it is to work. You can also click here to watch directly on YouTube.
As you can see from the image below – our carpet really took a beating over the last few years. With spills from juice, milk, liquid like foods, snacks – you name it, it has definitely graced these floors. My husband and I have used various cleaning products prior to Resolve and only a few stains were removed, usually not enough to make a difference, especially in our very high traffic areas. With just one use of the Resolve Easy Clean Pro and Carpet Spray we were able to see a HUGE and very noticeable difference in how our carpet looked.
As you seen in the video, assembly of the cleaning gadget was VERY simple and took me just a minute or two to put together. While there was a slight smell from the foam, it was not as strong as other carpet cleaning products we have used in the past and drying time was faster than we had expected. The texture and feel of the carpet didn’t change as other products have done before as well – some had left our carpet very hard and crunchy like… it felt uncomfortable on the feet. So I’m super happy that I didn’t feel like I was walking on porcupines after cleaning. And, I do love that my carpet did not change in tone or discolor after use and drying.
The instructions were super easy to follow:
- Assemble the unit
- Insert the Resolve High Traffic Carpet Cleaner Foam Canister
- Dispense the foam by pressing the trigger at the top of the Unit
- Brush the carpet – using the unit and brushing the foam to remove the grime
- After carpet has dried – vacuum and done
A few tidbits about the product:
- New ergonomic handle for easy grip and extra comfort
- No more scrubbing on your hands and knees (woohoo – love this one)
- Up to 50 sq. feet area coverage per can (I think this is awesome since we are able to cover a large amount before we need to purchase a refill)
- Made for High Traffic Areas of the Home – stair landings, corridors, entry ways, small area rugs
- New and Improved – 100% more dirt fighting power
Con – I do have one thing I wish I could be changed and it is the length of the handle. I’m not very tall – just 5’6″ but I feel like I’m bending over a bit while brushing the carpet so you can certainly understand how my husband feels since he is 6 feet tall. I wish there was just a few more inches added to the handle to accommodate our height. It is not necessarily uncomfortable but it could be a little easier to brush with the handle if it could extend just a little more.
Overall – Having not used a unit like this before, I am very impressed with how well it worked for us. My husband and I have already treated a good 80% of our living room carpet and I feel like it surely worked well after just one treatment of each area. We will continue to use this product until we have put it to so much use that it doesn’t want to work anymore. It’s affordable and offers you an awesome solution over spending a lot of money on renting or buying heavy duty equipment to clean your carpets. I’m definitely impressed with ease of use, affordability and availability of the Resolve Easy Clean Pro Carpet Cleaner.
So are you looking for a fairly easy way to clean your carpet? Will you be looking into the Resolve Easy Clean Pro to take care of your carpet cleaning needs? If so – I would love to hear your thoughts on it if you end up buying it or if you have tried it already.

Good to know this worked out for you. We’re carpet-free for the sake of low-maintenance.
yes girl – I was losing my mind getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing. We wanted carpet-free and even asked if it was possible since I was pregnant when we were getting ready to move in and the house was being built – but we didn’t have the option. And since our very hairy animal child is indoors, we are crazy vacuuming like it’s about to go out of style. lol
I need to pick this up… we shampoo the carpet all of the time (kids and a dog mmmhmmm) and stains just “magically” re-appear. It’d be nice to have something easy to use in between the full shampoos.
I think you will like that I completely forgot about the dog – but luckily he lives outside during the day and only in the house at night. But I think you will enjoy it – I was amazed at how well it worked.
Very useful product. I definitely need something like that for cleaning my son´s room´s carpet.
I think you will like it – it’s super affordable so definitely worth the try 😉
NIce to have for in between regular carpet cleaning
most definitely 😉
That looks pretty darn exciting 😀
considering the price – I think so 😉
I am always looking for an easy way to clean my carpet. My dogs track in a lot of dirt.
my doggy stays outside all day and comes in at night – so it has helped seeing as his daytime dirt is always dragging along with him. 😉
Thank you for mentioning the con, I’m 5’4″ and I bet it will still be too short for me.
it might be. It wasn’t back breaking or made me completely uncomfortable but I did notice I was a bit bent over when using it. 😉
I’m 5″2 so maybe it would be ok for me? I have used similar units for many years and i like the idea of them. They are easier than getting down on hands and knees to scrub with a brush (that really hurts your back!).
it may be – it was just a little shorter than I would like, but I don’t think it was that big of a deal… definitely better than getting on my hands and knees for sure 😉
Wow – this sounds great!
I think you’ll like it – affordable and it works.
I wish we didn’t have carpet. I swear it’s a pain in the butt.
Our King Charles Cavalier is outside most of the day and inside only when its time for bed… so luckily he is outside… but man… this has been a lifesaver. My parents have a large bissell and I hate using it – so clunky.
I’m glad I was able to test this – I’m a Resolve fan too now.
I hope it works for you. Our King Charles Cavalier lives in the house part-time so he doesn’t make as much mess as the twins do… unless you count is endless hair. lol Good luck 😉
Yay for no carpet. I wish we had that option because that would have saved us some years of torment. lol
I love carpet in the living room – I think it makes it much more cozy… but the twins, oi – they spill everything – my eldest did too. Luckily our dog is only in the house during the night – he hangs out outside all day or that would be extra mess too. lol Etched concrete floors? That sounds really pretty.
I think you will like it. 😉
hopefully this will work for you. I’m still amazed at what it did.
awww… are you tall too?
yes – pets will keep us busy. 😉
I wish we had area rugs, the carpet is a pain. I think it will
oh man… tell me about it. Our king charles cavalier is tiny but his hair is everywhere… luckily he stays outside for most of the day and only in doors at night.
let me know what you think of it.
I wish we were carpet free – it’s a butt. lol
I think you’ll like it. 😉
Girl…. I need to rip mine out – waiting for the approval – but I can’t take it. Oi.
I’m glad you have hardwoods. 😉 jello.
I am very impressed with it. 😉
If there are any mystery stains that you are not sure about then this is a great product to go ahead with. If there are any old stains you can be amazed to find outhow things can be cleaned faster.
Pro carpet cleaner gadget and foam refill helps in stain cleaning efficiently. It is a great product. You can clean the high traffic areas after years of spills. The video in the blog talks perfectly about the process.
