Hi!
I will not post any videos on any answers. Nor start a brand war. How do you clean your carpets with 1. water + shampoo, 2. 10% water + foam (The Kirby way), 3. dry powder, 4. or anything else? I use dry powder for my rugs at the moment (after a powerbrush clean) each four month. I springle it on the rugs and use my Vorwerk to rub it down. Then let in dry for >30 min. After that I vacuum it up using a vacuum I do not care for, but that has thick bags (S-bags long performance the bags are called). I throw the bags used away + vacuum the hepa-filter. What do you do and what is the plus/minus with it? Which appliance do you use? This post was last edited 09/14/2017 at 12:56 |

I personally prefer the Hot Water extraction method "Steam Cleaner". |

The method of steam cleaning your carpet was the thing turning up when I googled. However, most of those home use "carpet hot water vacuums" got the reviews: It was great for four times then a it broke down. Still, I get the impression that hot water steam is the way to go. But which premium quality vacuums can I buy? I am avoiding brand names here, but I do not looking for chinese products. Hence, that is why I use powder. But some claim that it does not do much for your rugs (or carpets) but hurt it. I feel really confused.

I have commercial box extractor that I prefer to use for all my carpet and furniture cleaning needs. 100 psi of water pressure and dual vacuum motors. |

+1 for the truck mounted cleaner. But for home cleaners, the best I've used is the H....r SteamVac. Also have the R..nb.w carpet cleaner and am not particularly impressed with that. |

Thanks for all the comments.
I did not mention any brands as I started the thread and I have been bashing some brands before. You, however, feel free to speak your mind. I can see that most use steam and some use foam (Kirby +1 from me for dedication). One I know that that has a Kirby is very pleased with the foam thing. Is there anyone using powder? Some tips? The main reason why I did not want to mention any brands were the fact that there seems to be nothing else but Chinese products out there if you want something new steamwise. The main brands being Vax, Hoover and Bissell. Works great but for how long?? As you might have noticed I live in Europe. And also in a country were you do not deep clean your rugs/carpets on your own. It is hopeless :-(. |
