You may have seen the infamous infomercial with the ShamWow guy going crazy over this product. Claiming that it picks up all spills. "It works like a vacuum to suck up the liquids." So the test question is, does it actually do this? According to popular mechanics, whom placed this product under testing, shares that it actually does soak up liquids spilled on carpets much like how the advertisements promise. Though, the Shamwow does work better on liquids that are not thick, example, tomato sauce, it is very absorbent. Another claim the infomercial makes is that you no longer need to buy paper towels due to the fact that the Shamwow is machine washable. Here's where the product begins to have a downfall. According to Shamwow customer reviews, after simply one wash, the product falls apart, shrinks easily, and begins to fuzz. In addition, it does not wring out as easily as promised. Overall due to both sources, it is simply stated that keeping paper towels on hand would probably be a better choice. I doubt that any pet owner who needs to clean up after thier dog would want to reuse the same product again anyway.
