I haven't tried it, but if you watch the video, it looks like it's been edited at the parts where he's absorbing the liquidsShocked

OxyClean was sold that way, some barker telling what it would do on TV.  Look at how well he is copied now.

Some things sold on TV are phase 1 on things to come.  Who knows, might become part of a fast drying method someday.

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

after reading this thread I decided to try them out with my rotary machine. Took a couple of weeks for them to come in but when they did I threw them down and gave a whirl on 20oz of barqs root beer that sat on CGD carpet for about 6 hours. Nice sticky mess. I prevaced the area, sprayed some blade and PCP from CCSOP. Soaked a shamwow in warm tap water, hand wrung out just a bit so it's not dripping but a little more than washer dry. One pass and it actually soaked up the root beer. Pulled off the shamwow and wrung it out again. Put another SW down and made a couple more passes. The results shocked me. I decided to try on our area rug and it cleaned it right up. Ok, sooo...do they clean better than a pad? No. But you get what you pay for. They are not the miracle wonder they say they are but they are just as good as cotton bath towel. Yes I tried that too.
