(CBS13) Vartan Garboushian has been in the carpet business for 30
years, and many of those at his south Sacramento location. So what’s
the secret to his success?
"We do best to bend-over backwards for our customers," said Vartan.
What’s Vartan’s advice for spills on the carpet?
"Usually a clean white rag. You can use to blot it out," said Vartan.
We give him the new ultra-absorbent Zorbeez cloth. The product
claims it uses something called Advanced X27 Fiber Technology and
will absorb more than 20 ounces of liquid. So, we spill about that
much cranberry juice on the carpet and then blot it, and blot it,
and blot it. A couple minutes later the cloth fills with liquid.
But, there was still cranberry juice in the carpet. So he blots some
more for a few more minutes. It doesn’t appear there’s vacuum action
that pulls it out. We decide to use a regular cloth just to see how
much it’ll absorb, and it’s not much.
"There’s nothing on it, but if you try with this one, it’s still
absorbing quite a bit," said Vartan.
We make a few more messes and seem to have the same results. We head
outside, to see just how much we soaked up, and it’s quite a bit! It
may not be quick, but does it soak up more than other cloths?
"Based on what I see here, it worked," said Vartan.
Online it was $14.95 plus shipping and handling. The pads require
special care. They are machine washable, but shouldn’t be uses fabric
softener.
