There’s even a spot wash option that squirts an extra dose of cleaning fluid from the front so you can efficiently target a stain before you set it washing. When used with Vax Platinum Antibacterial solution, use biocides safely, always read the label & product information before use. Domestic carpet cleaners are much bigger than vacuum cleaners so storage can be a real issue. However, whether you actually need one is solely based on how much carpet you have installed in the home and whether you have animals or clumsy kids about the house.

As for carpet cleaning, this is excellent. The cleaning head is composed of a single roller but it’s crammed with bristles. This has a transformative impact on dirty carpets, agitating and shampooing them thoroughly, particularly if you set it to its Deep Clean option, although this does leave carpets a little damp. Use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. It had no impact on old, dried-in stains, but easily dealt with a new spill of red wine after just three passes. Aside from one mishap when the water lid’s catch inadvertently popped off and spilled slightly, this top-tier cleaner performed with aplomb.

Having a Vax Carpet Cleaner, such as the Vax Platinum Power Max or Vax Rapid Power Advance on hand will encourage you to clean your carpets often, and this is important in maintaining a clean home and prolonging the life of your carpets. It’s an effective carpet cleaner, however. Switching the machine on will set its rotating brushes and suction off, while a trigger on the handle releases a 2% mix of Bissell’s cleaning fluid (of which 236ml is supplied) and warm water. Squirt a bit of that into the carpet, then let the brush do its work. It wasn’t as hard-working in our tests as more expensive models, but it does an excellent job for the price.

This is a top-tier carpet restorer that not only deep cleans but removes up to 93% of bacteria while it’s at it. The design is simpler than you might find on more expensive models, however. The dirty water tank, for example, is held in place by two clips, one on either side of the machine, which requires some fiddling to release, where more expensive models tend to release both tanks with a smoother, single-handed operation. The Rug Doctor isn’t an especially light machine at around 8kg, but thankfully it comes with wheels and a pull-about handle for relatively easy mobility. Many owners have reported exceedingly good results when dealing with spot stains, and some users have found it a godsend at cleaning up after puppy accidents.That is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libelous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership or corporation;
