Hi gang,
 
We've just been doing a major clean-up at my office and due to the removal of a lot of stuff that was stored in boxes in our corridor and other places we've got areas of very low, very tight looped weave carpet that looks brand spanking new -- because they've never been walked on.  
 
I got about a hundred ideas of how to get the clean spots dirty enough to match up with the already dirty areas but that would really be too easy.
 
Thus I am pursuing the high road and going for clean all over . . . however . . .
 
We're not talking filthy dirty in this instance but obviously ithere's a need of a good cleaning. And guess who's going to do it if it gets done.  Do those of you who've used Capture think this would be the product of choice.  (Note -- we may only have this site another year-and-a-half.)  Also, is there a painless INEXPENSIVE way to apply Capture and still do a thorough job well?
 
The other alternative is to use the Hoover Floor-a-Matic we have to apply shampoo.  I need names of tried and true brands that when properly mixed do not present a residue problem.
 
Thanks,
 
Venson
 

The Oreck product is Capture, it just have a different lable on the bucket.  I use the Oreck branded bucket because it is more available to me (not sure where to get capture around here).  But I have used Capture, and it looks and smells just like the Oreck stuff, it even comes with the same "spreader" thing.

What U R looking for is called either a Dri-Lux or a Dri-Star.  I have 3 of them and bought them on Ebay.  They look like a Lux PN with a more dense brush roll, much like the Kirby Rug Fluffer, Nap Lifter, or what ever  they R called.  Before I purchased these I used my Lux B-8 or whatever the Kirby thing is called.  I did also use my central vac and didn't insert the hose into the outlet as I don't have direct connect valves and use the pig-tail jump cord.  With no suction it would just keep working the Capture into the carpet.  Do use the traffic spray to keep it moist.  I buy my Capture/Oreck form a place in MI.  It is a brother and sister co. and they R just great!  This does have the Oreck name but it is a lot cheaper than what you would be able to buy at the Oreck store.  U would have to set up an account as they sell all of this stuff wholesale to the vac shops.  I have a cleaning service so that is how I was able to buy.   U have to  think of something as they don't sell to the general public.  A few years back the Dri-Lux was sold on QVC with one of their canister vacs.  I just went on Ebay and bought them.  They R on there all of the time and U can get them for a good price as no one seems to know what they R.  
 
Good Luck!
