Why wash my carpets?

Although regular vacuuming of your carpets removes everyday dirt, it does not completely remove the deep-down dirt and grease that makes carpets look flat and lifeless. Washing your carpets will.

Customer Reviews

The jury is still out on this one!
I bought this for several reasons, the main one being of course that my carpets desperately needed revitalizing. I had an old Vax that operated as a vacuum and carpet cleaner, but being the type you drag around like a dog on a lead, it drove me mad as apart from having to virtually rebuild it to use it, I had to haul around the cleaner plus miles of tubes and wires wherever I went. As a vacuum it was replaced by a Dyson, and although it was kept for its carpet cleaning aspect, to be honest it's never been out again as can't remember how to set it up. So when I saw this I was attracted by the comments referring to it as small, lightweight and easy to use. Well the one I received is about the same size as my Vacuum cleaner, and looking at it, I am deeply concerned as to where on earth I can put it where it will remain accessible enough to be used regularly. I did manage to put it together relatively quickly so was able to play! When it's empty it is lightweight that is true, but full is a different story, plus I think I must get the angle slightly wrong (maybe because I am quite short) as it kept telling me the dirty tank was full even though there was barely a dribble in it. It is reasonably easy to fill and empty, although found that fluff seems to gather right at the front where the gap is too small to release it, but it gets wedged so that no amount of sluicing was going to move it which left me resorting to poking it out with a knife. Then there is the trigger which releases the shampoo liquid - boy did that make my hand ache. I also have concerns that when the cleaner is left for a bit, any liquid in the clean water container seems to drip, ooze or flow out all by itself, so at this stage not sure if there is a problem with a seal somewhere.
Having said all that I have done my downstairs carpets and they certainly look and smell fresher, so the thing does seem to do the job it was bought for. A pity there isn't any facility to do stairs as I can't see myself having much success pushing this across each tread - looks like a hands and knees job for them!
