FYI... I loaned my vacuum once to someone who used a powder carpet refresher. I didn't realize at the time that my Dyson vacuum couldn't handle powder, and says so in the instructions. I had to get a replacement engine for it (yay Dyson for sending one for free). So please be careful that you don't go hog wild with the cleaning and breaking something.
Let us know how things go with your brother, and remember to get some rest.
