Carpet Shampooer??

Question

I was hoping someone can help me. I am looking for a carpet cleaner. Its advertised on the TV just now and is a wee hand held one. I think you can get it in Poundstretchers and maybe Woolworths. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and what its called??

Answer 1

I have an Oreck.  It is wonderful on furnature, car interior and fluffy carpets.  However it cannot get enough suction on a berber.  if you have berber you need ot do dry cleaning or Kirby form cleaning works fabulous if you have the $

Answer 2

We have been trying to get our carpets cleaned thoroughly for ages and have tried various different products including vanish etc. They seem to get the carpet clean on the surface but then within days the dirt starts to reappear.

A few months ago we hired 'The Rug Doctor' from our local B&Q, it was only 24.00 for the hire and our carpets came up like new and after a few months they are still great.

Answer 3

Don't know if it is the same thing, is it Miracle Dry Foam shampooer thing? A hand held thing with foam rollers that cleans carpets? Not electrical, just elbow grease to power it?

I got one a while ago, it is OK for small areas, spillages etc, but I wouldn't use it for a whole room. The liquid that comes with it is OK, but nothing special. But you don't have to use that liquid - other carpet cleaning liquids work as well, if not better. I used left over rug doctor fluid with it fine, it worked a treat on a trail of felt pen on the carpet!

If you want to do a whole room/s then you can hire a rug doctor machine from places like B&Q or Somerfield for about £25, I use this for my carpets and it is great.

Answer 4

I personally use a Bissell, every one I've had has done a great job!  I also agree with one of those answers, most "shampooers" clean only the top and there is still lots underneath.  Thats why I stick to a steam cleaner!

good luck
