Grandi Groom AB24 Carpet Rake, 18-Inch Head, 54-Inch Handle, Blue

Just did a major cleaning of our badly soiled carpet throughout the house, and this rake was a standout. Extremely useful for scrubbing in pre-spray for stains, and for a final pass after the extractor was done. It also comes in handy of you apply Scotchguard or any other protective agent. You can push it and pull it in a scrubbing action – the rake is light but well made so it will easily handle this type of action. I'm not sure it would be of much help for short-nap carpet, and I dont think it would work at all to remove pet hair. But it's perfect for grooming anything with visible fibers – we have 'short shag' in our house, and it was perfect for that EDIT: this is the perfect tool for combing in wet cleansers like sodium percarbonate or a dry cleaner like Capture. I recently decided to go all-out on pet stains that were almost a decade old and had been steam-cleaned twice (once by me with a commercial steamer and once by a commercial service with a bigger steamer). I used a sodium percarbonate solution this time, and also used this rake, a simple garden watering jug and a wet/dry vac. I finished off with the Capture product. The results were astounding, and removed the decade-old stains (and odor)... I’m not kidding, this old guy was almost moved to tears. I assumed we would have to replace the carpet, but it truly looks like new. Any project this intense requires attention to details... your type of carpet, your type of stain, your approach and your ability to follow instructions. This rake was ESSENTIAL in getting the sodium percarbonate (the active ingredient in Oxi-Clean, which did 95% of the work) and the Capture (the perfect finish and maintenance product) into the depths of our short shag carpet. It was an absolutely perfect tool for this effort... not sure about Berber, long shag, or things like Persian rugs, but the teeth are stiff durable plastic and they don’t harm the carpet. It is far superior to the bathroom-style bristle brush that comes with some Capture kits, which WILL damage (shred) your carpet – that’s the wrong tool. This is a true comb and perfect for getting cleansers into the fibers without damage. An essential tool IMO if you have carpet. It really doesn’t remove anything like dog hair (unless you have a very long-haired dog I suppose)... it’s a loose comb that’s perfect for raising fiber or distributing cleaners among the fibers. I love this tool.

Works great with little effort. Couldn't be more pleased. We do not have pets so it was just to fluff the short shag carpet . The wooden handle was a bill selling point.

Use once a week at least on high traffic areas to keep like new.

This is the best thing I every bought as far as house cleaning goes! I have a dog, but this is for my long hair that is falling every day like it or not (ha, ha, ha). My challenge was how effectively and thoroughly I could remove surface hair on the carpet. Before this, I was just raking with my hands. I was shy to vacuum due to entanglement hair caused in the inner roller of vacuum machine. With this, I removed all hair and run the vacuum right after the raking. Finally, I feel my room is clean!!!!

It didn't "solve" my matted down short shag problem where the entry to the living room is.. however it did vastly improve it. I tried it right after I got it, and yes, the carpet looked all plush and new... and then I stepped on it, and life goes on.. an it matted down right away again. SO, of course I also wanted to try this during & after I cleaned the carpets. Because I also clean them every few months, and this "high traffic" area is also dirtier than the rest. So I raked before using the bissel pro cleaner, and I raked again, because I cleaned those carpets twice, 1st with carpet solution, 2nd tie with hydrogen peroxide (helps lighten up extra dirty areas) with hot water, & vinegar & a drop of dawn soap, and thirs time with just plain hot water to really give a good rinse. Can you tell I was determined to get it really clean?!? so with the raking in between, it helped lift up the fibers away and I believe the carpet cleaner got more dirt out. everyime I dumped my water it was dirty! and then when I set up the fans to dryit all , I raked the area well and it dried then like that, all plush. I'm happy to say now that the carpet hasn't yet gone down to the matted state it was in. it is much more revived.. not like brand new, this isn't a miracle worker, but so much better, it was worth the $30ish I spent on it!

Returned order because we didn’t like the way are carpet looked after using your carpet rake. Paid $68.53 and only received $12.72 credit when we returned this order. Rip off!

This is the most honest review I might have ever written. I would somewhat like to return this, but I can't admit I was wrong about it to my wife. I went back and forth for months on whether or not I should buy this and what it could do for us, I bought it hoping to pull additional pet hair out of the carpet. If you vaccuum on a normal basis (I do at least every 2 weeks) and you are somewhat diligent about keeping pet hair off your carpet, this product is probably not gonna do anything for you. If you are getting it because you want to fluff up your carpet, or make it lay a certain way, it works great! If you have pet hair or anything else deep in your carpet, go buy a heavy duty push broom, lay it on your carpet and pull instead of push, it works SO MUCH BETTER than this product.

Grandi Groom engineered an excellent maintenance tool. Its design, materials, and finish are all first class. It arrived in perfect condition in a secure box, and was easily assembled. This rake seemed a reasonable investment since my carpets were just professionally re-cleaned after three years. That company raked before and after their cleaning process. What a difference... Now that I have a quality rake, I understand its importance. Pre-cleaning, it lifts the carpet's synthetic short pile allowing the vacuum to get at all the loosened dirt. Between professional cleanings, it rejuvenates the fibers so they don't look anything like their age [22 years in my case]. I think this small maintenance investment, and scheduled pro cleaning, will add many years to the life of my aged carpeting.
