Carpet Washer / Cleaner
Other
Hello all,
I want to wash my carpets, what should I buy? I googled and checked many brands but I don't know which one is good - to be honest, the prices are a bit high for me but I need asap.
I have a rug doctor portable but find to get a really good clean is to scrub by hand first I use the new pink stuff for whites in a bowl hot water. Then suck up excess water with the rug doctor. Yes I agree they can be expensive if only have one room why not hire one from a local hardware store.
I tried to hire it but unfortunately in my area (Asda for example)said because of covid they have less cleaner etc.
You could hire a Cleaner from most Supermarkets or DIY store (Rug Doctor I think they are called ) . More affordable if it's for a one off clean .
I used to own a Vax carpet cleaner which I would recommend, if you intend to wash your carpets regularly. I don't own one now, since we have downsized and don't have the room
I looked for one a while back and the cheaper ones didn’t seem to be reviewed very well. I didn’t want to spend a fortune so since Ive hired from hss a couple times. I think it cost about £24 from memory. I used it to deep clean carpets, rugs, sofas and mattresses, it’s handy to hire as it’s not something I’d use all the time and I don’t have to think about storage.
Rather than buy new have you considered buying secondhand? I’ve just looked on eBay and there are loads.
I checked marketplace and eBay too - especially on marketplace the second hand ones are really in horrible condition - if I was a seller at least I could clean the machine before putting them online sale. that's why I'm just asking for the best brand recommendation
I own a vax carpet cleaner. Purchased a while back and I think I got a good deal. I use it on the first of each month and very happy with the results.
could you please tell me that which one did you buy as there are many different models
ulfetc I purchased the Vax rapid power revive carpet washer and it was purchased from John Lewis when it was on offer.
I got the Bissell Pro Heat Pet in the sale last year and find it great. I bought the extra attachments which mean you can do the stairs, furniture or the car too.
