Not the Right Fit for My Carpet

on September 28, 2011

Posted by: JimMfromMD

from Maryland

I must preface this with the fact that I have a thick, dense pile carpet. I purchased the cleaner to spot treat my carpet. It is a new carpet (three months old) and is guaranteed against stains for 25 years.

I was very impressed with the amount of water is was able to extract. The carpet was fairly dry immediately after the cleaning.

The water did not heat up and it was nowhere near steam temperature - not really sure why they label it a steam cleaner - but I used the hottest water I could from the faucet. The carpet manufacturer recommended the use of water only - no soap. So that is what I did. It did not lift the stains out (cat urine). I don't think it really had the power to inject the water all the way down to the bottom of the carpet.

Overall, I am disappointed with the cleaner. I think if it is used to extract liquids right after a spill, it might to a fairly good job. Other than that, it just isn't powerful enough or hot enough to do the job correctly.

I didn't downgrade it any further because my carpet can be tough to clean because of the density and length of fibers. It wasn't easy for the professional cleaners to get the stains out either.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
