Carpet Shampooer

The cost of having a professional carpet cleaning company come into one?s home has moved many people to buy their own carpet shampooers. The newer models coming to the market are relatively inexpensive and designed for ease of use. If you get a good machine, you’ll hardly be able to tell the difference between it and a so-called professional job. These carpet cleaners help eliminate stains and odors. They also keep new rugs looking new for a longer time.

There are certain key features you want in a carpet cleaner. First it needs to be maneuverable , so check how hefty the machine is, and if it has built in clean and dirty water tanks (so you don’t have to keep running to a sink). Second, a machine with brushes help pick up more hair and ground in dirt than a straight suction system. The only caution in getting a machine with rotating brushes is that if you use it a lot, it can wear carpet fibers.

A third option is accessories, like a fixture that works on stairs or furniture. If you have an active household, you?ll be grateful for these within a few weeks. Fourth, does the machine allow you to control the cleaning solution? This is great for spot cleaning, but also lets you conserve the cleaning solution and decrease the rug’s drying time.

By the way, as you’re shopping you’ll likely see two types of carpet cleaning systems , an extractor and a shampooer. Extractors simply put solution on the rug, then suck the dirty water back up. The shampooer by comparison sprays the rug with solution, and scrubs the rug with brushes. In some cases you can find machines that do either with a flick of a switch. Currently extracting systems seem to be more popular, even though they’re known to begin experiencing problems after about 50 hours of use. Nonetheless, compared to the cost of professional services, they still represent significant savings.

Also, don,t be fooled by the term steam cleaning.  no carpet cleaner that you buy will ever be pumping out steam. Home systems work on hot tap water, only commercial grade machines run on live steam
