I have an old braided rug in the computer room. Tried it on one spot that had been annoying me for some time. Oh, what a difference; it looked new again and didn't hurt the fibers. Used the Bissell Oxy boost enhancer along with the pet stain & odor. The spot I cleaned made the rest of the rug rather old & dingy; so now to give this old rug a new life. And, the nice part is, I don't have to get down on my hand and knees any more to do the work of this little scrubber.
