When you absolutely, positively must clean every carpet in the house, accept no substitutes: The Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 is as good a clean as you’ll get without hiring professionals. If you need a heavier-duty washer, read on. Overall it did an amazing job for the weight, but my husband did point out a stubborn small stain or two that it left behind. It also takes up the same amount of space as our Dyson Animal Ball vacuum. It also comes with a cleaning accessory for upholstery, extra cleaning solution, and tools to clean the tools. It's not perfect, but I was able to clean my carpets before I left to pick my children up from camp, and the carpets were fluffy and fully playable when we came back three hours later. Drying mode blows 167-degree hot air at the carpet and shows you the percentage of dryness. A few passes with Max lifted several years' worth of grime out of a white carpet that I had left criminally unattended. Both the clean and dirty water tanks are easy to pop in and out and have carrying handles, so they're easy to rinse out.Ī big LED screen (and voice) tells you whether you're toggling in between Auto, Max, or Drying modes. It's almost 30 pounds, but the clever design leaves the dirty water tank on the ground while the handle hinges back, so I (a small woman) found it fairly lightweight and easy to maneuver. If a carpet cleaner can be said to be fun, the Tineco Carpet One Pro is. It's priced at $400, but is often much cheaper. It's big, about the size of the ProHeat, so you need somewhere to store it. It needs storage space similar to an upright vacuum, and you only get a drawstring bag to store all the attachments.Ī Steam Cleaner From Bissell: I never used a steam cleaner before, but was impressed by how well the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam Pet cleaned up forgotten stains on my rugs. Also, it's maneuverable for a carpet cleaner, but it's still heavy to lift, and don't expect it to slide under low furniture. A toothpaste stain on the upstairs landing initially disappeared but gradually returned, and an old red wine stain in the living room refused to budge. Some older stains remained, even after multiple runs. On the downside, the ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro is very loud (like a jet taking off). There’s even a handy tool for cleaning the cleaner when you’re done, though this is a fiddly job. The upholstery attachment was very effective on an old armchair, and the stair-cleaning tool works well too.
There are three modes (Max, Deep, and Express) and lots of attachments. A special spray jet, triggered by a pedal, can target stains. It's easy to use, with the two removable tanks-fill the top tank to the marked lines with warm water and detergent, pull a trigger on the handle to wet wash, and then run over the area slowly and watch the bottom tank fill with dirty water. It removed plenty of cat hair and eliminated lingering odors. I was pleased with the results my whole house felt renewed. This Bissell looks like a normal upright vacuum cleaner, but it packs plenty of carpet cleaning power. We also updated prices and links throughout. Updated August 2023: We added the Tineco Carpet One Pro, the Bissell Little Green Cleaner, and the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam. Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day.

STEAM MOP HOW TO
And there's advice on what to consider when buying a carpet cleaner, and how to get the most out of it. You'll also find recommended mops and vacs for hard floors. These are our picks of the best carpet cleaners in different categories. We tested a range of carpet cleaners in busy households with aging carpets that have seen some serious action. For a deep clean that will wet-wash your rugs to lift ingrained dirt and lingering odors, you need a carpet cleaner. Surface crumbs and dust might get sucked up regularly by your vacuum, but there’s only so much it can do. That pristine pile loses its shine and bounce, fibers get tangled with hair, and stains settle in for the long haul.
Over time, tramping feet, molting pets, and spilled drinks can take a heavy toll on our hard-working carpets.
