Toxic – I’m glad it is discontinued, there should be a class action against this company, absolutely dangerous, should never have been produced/or allowed to be sold in the first place. Who invented this crap Saddam Hussein? Show details

Amazed – This was at Pak n save for $11 I needed one because of old pet urine and coffee stains. I’ve tried it just now and I like it a lot! You definitely need to put some elbow power into it when you vacuum it off but that’s fine!I don’t expect all of it to come off with one run over using the vaccum no you have to be patient and suction it all out. I… Read more
was hesitant after reading reviews but you never know unless you try for yourself! This is awesome I see a massive difference in my carpet stains and will use more often :) With the excess white left on carpet it will slowly fade from foot traffic, but it’s not sticky or wet! I cannot lie I’m quite grateful to have this <3 I have to give it a 5 start because it came out better then when I went in with the remover.. it looks way better than it did before so I’m grateful:)
Do not purchase unless you have white carpet – Did not work. Carpet worse. Left tacky white marks on brown carpet. Why do you insist that I leave a 30 word review? Surely the first dozen words are enough to let you know what I think of this product. Show details
Blame each other – Cavalier bremworth carpet stain remover kills Dyson vacuums , both companies blaming each other. Both companies do not want to help . No warnings , no responsibility. I cannot believe I now have a blown up Dyson
“Suspected of causing cancer” – Do not use this product. It is toxic. Awful, ruined my carpets and it literally says on the bottle “suspected of causing cancer” how is this sold in Woolworths supermarkets. Show details

Been using this for 24 years – As the title, I have used this product since it was reccomended by the carpet layers in 1998. They used it themselves when they got minor marks during that laying job. Having read the other reviews, I thought I would add my experience with this cleaner. My problem with it is it is hard to get, seems to be only in large Woolworths stores. Used… Read more
exactly as directed, it has always worked very well for me on full (well 95% and up) wool carpets. Wine, coffee, grease, blood. If there is a residue, due to it drying before vacuuming, spray a small amount more on the dry stuff to re-dissolve it before vacuuming it away. I had some nylon carpet in one area of my house (never again) as an experiment. This cleaner did not work well on it and may have caused some slight chemical damage to the fibres of the polymer. After that, I used the not so effective stuff from supermarkets on the nylon - this carpet is well gone now due to the staining and compression of fibres etc. As far as the smell etc. goes, the instructions on the can warn about this - it is a pretty effective mix of hydrocarbon solvents supporting something else (?), so it is not good to be breathing it - use lots of ventilation and spray away from your face and wanted insects (terrestrial inveterebrates, again per the instructions). My recommendation, from experience, is to use on wool carpets only and follow the instructions properly.
Best cleaner for mine – I am am a home owner with carpeted floors for over 40 years and have treated all sorts of carpet damage by kids pets and clumsy adults. I found This product about 10 years ago and have used both wet and dry products ever since and always good results. Can only imagine dissatisfied users have not used product properly. I have both Dyson barrel and… Read more
stick vacuums (both 8-10 years old) and have never had any malfunction using this product. Ten out of ten for me!
Good product – Great product that will remove dry stains from carpet. Follow directions on can for a good result. Currently out of stock at my Woolworths and Coles and I’m not happy! Show details
Negative reviews
It killed my dog - and clogged up three stick vacuums and left white patches on the cream carpet – How on earth is this highly dangerous (carcinogenic and lethal to lungs) product allowed to be sold to the unwitting public - let alone without a massive safety warning to never use in the vicinity of pets. I only bought it after my cat threw up on cream carpet (fur ball) and left a stain. I followed the instructions, but what happened was… Read more
horrific. Anybody who has owned a small dog or cat knows their nose is very close to the ground, and they walk around bare pawed on carpet. And some of us feed our rescue dogs via a kong or similar (as recommended by the RSPCA - so they 'work for their food'). My poor little dog was rolling her kong around (after I had vacuumed the treated carpet several times - and I had wondered why my dyson stick had stopped sucking so went and got my other ones) My dog seemed to be having trouble breathing. Then, she threw up (and did what dogs do - ate her own vomit, while I was distracted). After a hurried trip to the vet to have my 16 year old dog euthanized (because she was screaming "I can't breathe" and vets are incentivised to not treat old dogs), It was after all 3 stick vacuums clogged (and I found caked on white stuff in all three) I put towels over the white carpet spots and tried to extricate what remained of the deadly powder - but after I washed, dried and folded those towels, I woke gasping for breath. Towels are now in the bin and the carpet will have to be removed. What on earth has happened to product safety regulation in this country when anybody who looks up dichloromethane can see it is massively toxic. Sadly - after the fact.
Rubbish – Worst stain remover I've ever used and I've tried a few. Unless you want white patches all over your carpet that never come out, don't buy this expensive crap. Also, it didn't remove the stains which were new stains, blood from a dog's paw. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY Show details
Cancer causing, Dyson ruiner – This product left me with a severe, chesty cough (and if you read the packaging in depth - you will see that it even states it can cause cancer) if also did nothing to help the stains in my carpet & completely destroyed my Dyson. What a horrible product - shouldn’t be legal to sell in Australia! Show details

Almost ruined our vacuum cleaner – Whilst it has been good for removing stains from our wool carpet, it does have a very chemically smell and it has almost ruined our vacuum cleaner. We took the machine in for a service because of a very noisy motor - the serviceman said we were very close to blowing the motor. He thought we’d been renovating because of all the white powder clogging up the vacuum. Won’t be using this again and will try another stain remover instead. Show details
The cleaning product you will regret buying – This powdered asbestos will not only ruin your home but your lungs. I followed the directions and ended up having to buy a second carpet cleaner to undo the damage done by this garbage product. I don't know how this was ever put into production. If you want to feel angry after you've cleaned your house, this product is for you. Show details
Terrible carpet cleaner – This product ruined my Dyson vacuum. Followed instructions on can, after 2 minutes my vacuum stopped working, and have been told unable to repair. Thanks very much a 700 dollars down the drain because of this product Show details
Its like cement powder – Don"t buy this product, it will kill your vaccum cleaner and make you suffocate in your house. Its one of the worst product ever used. Vaccum cleaner retail store even commented that because of this product we get more business to fix or replace the vaccum cleaners. Show details
Not Worth It – Doesn’t do what it claims at all. Don’t use your vaccum afterwards as mentioned in the instructions as it will damage your vaccum. I don’t know how these products take a place on the shelves without being tested for what they claim. Show details
Absolute rubbish – Do not buy this product! I followed the instructions to the letter and if anything the stain was slightly worse, certainly no better. Crap product. I strongly recommend keeping away from it. Would give Zero stars if it let me. Show details
Rubish ruined my carpets – Very bad one indeed. Ruined my Dyson and the carpets. The white stains won’t come off no matter how much you try. Expensive and extremely damaging to the delicate carpets. Don’t risk it. Show details
Ruined my Dyson!!! – Do not buy! Product advised to vacuum once applied, I followed directions exactly. Apparently not suitable for certain vacuums which they fail to advise on the packaging. Blew my Dyson up. Took it to Godfrey’s in the hope they could fix but it was unfixable. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY. Show details
Can’t live without it – I find it is the best and quickest way to remove stains on my pale carpet. I always have it in the cupboard. I have used many good quality carpet stain removers but this is the best.

Rubbish – I bought this product today assuming that the more expensive product would work better, bad mistake! It has left white marks all over my dark carpet. It seems to concentrate on the stains, highlighting the edges. I am unable to remove the white stains left by this product. I used it exactly as directed and will never use it again! Show details
Useless – Followed directions. Did nothing at all except remove slight soiling from foot traffic, so now stain looks more prominent. Save your money. Don’t buy. I only hope my vacuum isn’t poked now. Show details
Works for me! – I use this product to remove spot stains from white carpets. It does the job. It has had no effect on my Electrolux bag vacuum cleaner. Not sure about its carcinogenic properties. The container has warnings about those, but I imagine if a person inhales or consumes the product over a prolonged period it would not be good as is the case with any… Read more
other chemical. I use it responsibly (read the instructions) and infrequently. I am surprised it's made in New Zealand. That's an ultra green, clean place!
Destroyed my Dyson V10 – Didn’t clean the carpet stain and the powder style cleaner clogged and destroyed my Dyson vacuum. Also, reading the back of the can it says “Suspected of causing Cancer...” WTH. How is this product on the shelf? Show details
Zero stars total rip off – Brisbane Australia Zero stars had to push 1 star to submit worst product ever my mats looks worse now than it did before and also the stuff floated everywhere as I sprayed it the white powder dust clogged up my Dyson vacuum and Stuffed the filter rang up just customer service hopeless I would never recommend this product would never buy this product again Hazel waste of money Show details
Don't bother with this product!! – This product fell well below my expectation and is not worth the money. I went back with what i know which is the Ozcleen carpet cleaner. It removed no stains and was a pain to vacuum. No refund was offered either. Just appalling.
Worst product ever!! – This carpet stain remover has completely ruined my carpet. I followed the instructions and now have massive white patches on my dark grey carpet. I would rate it zero if it was an option. This product should be taken off the shelf immediately!!! Show details
Sticky lounges – I used this on my lounge to remove a patch of stain from the armrest and my carpet near my bed. Both were ruined, vacuum clogged up and the lounge and carpet are now permanently sticky with a white immovable stain. It's like Santa snow or dried shaving cream. Show details
It works well if you are careful – I have used this product many times over several years. It has always worked to remove dry stains. The secret is not to leave it on the stain for more than about 5-8 seconds and then vacuum like mad to remove all traces Denis Farrar
