(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best carpet & upholstery cleaners

This is the one I bought

BISSELL Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine and Carpet Shampooer, 2085 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074L775XC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1ZRxDb4NNQQ4C

It’s a SMALL unit however.

It’s not the best for doing large areas and it doesn’t heat the water like larger more expensive units.

But, it’s small, affordable, extremely easy to use, and does a rather good job.

It’s best for picking up after dog accidents and kids spilling juice.

Beats the rag method.

If you’re looking for a big boy then I’d go with something like

BISSELL DeepClean Lift-Off Deluxe Upright Pet Carpet Cleaner Machine, 24A4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AZBIL6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_h2RxDbPV7BYZQ

That’s being said I’ve owned a larger busses unit like this before. More parts and complexity means more points of failure. My last big boy was repaired twice.

If you can use a power outlet or extension cord, get this RugDoctor Carpet and Upholstery spray wetvac. It includes the handheld spray vac attachment that's needed to get into the tight spaces of a vehicle. This is a great rug cleaner for home use, so it's a good long term value even if you don't need it for your vehicle very often.

If you want an entirely battery powered vacuum that you can leave in your vehicle to quickly pickup any spill, then I suggest either Hoover 3 Gal wetvac or Hoover 6 gal wetvac, along with two one-gallon plastic pressure sprayers, one with plain water for rinsing and the other for a detergent soap mix to cut and lift staining liquids before they have a chance to set, spoil, mold, or smell.

The bottom of milk cases in stores are saturated with spoiled milk. You have to sponge clean the bottom of every gallon to prevent the transfer to your vehicle, and even that might not be entirely effective. Probably need a couple layers of news paper on top of a plastic tarp, to prevent milk and newspaper inkstains.

We have a Hoover carpet cleaner similar to this one which does a pretty good job and isn’t much larger than a regular vacuum cleaner.

I've been looking on line about cleaning laminate floors. I've read that you shouldn't use steam cleaners. I have a Haan steam cleaner that just uses filtered water ( https://www.amazon.com/Haan-Cleaning-Sanitizer-Deluxe-Sanitizing/dp/B001PNRRD4/ref=pd_sbs_201_5/141-2735135-7816913?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001PNRRD4&pd_rd_r=a2bdda82-7f16-11e9-9baa-1f33018cf24e&pd_rd_w=uMIfD&pd_rd_wg=UTheX&pf_rd_p=588939de-d3f8-42f1-a3d8-d556eae5797d&pf_rd_r=GMX9THKMGGDWNDYP423Z&psc=1&refRID=GMX9THKMGGDWNDYP423Z )

I understand why the floor absorbing water is really bad, but just doing quick passes with the steam cleaner seems like all the water would dry off right away (that's been my experience with it at least).

​

Seems like that would be way better than a mop (which the articles said to use).

​

Am I wrong?

As a pet owner, this is the best purchase I have made. Our one cat had issues with the couch too, and this is the only thing that got the smell out. It is super loud, but it's been nothing but reliable for the last two years.

Also we have these (I couldn't find a UK link, but maybe you can find something similar) and we keep them on our couch when we're not around. We haven't had an accident since.

For an entry level unit this one is awesome:

The key is the triangle attachment.

I bought one of these little upholstery and carpet cleaners and have used it on everything from both of our cars, to our new couch. Thing works like a champ. I usually start with just hot water for a few passes and then see if it even needs any detergent.

I was actually able to buy a nice carpet cleaner at Big Lots for about $100 out the door.. It was this one though it was refurbished, but works like charm...

I just used a regular carpet cleaner with a wand attachment for cleaning upholstry. It was a bissell kinda like this one.

Meh. Put a few towels down to get to sleep then fabreeze when dry.

Eventually, this can be used to clean the mattress. We got it for an incontinent elderly cat, and it's helping with potty training. AMAZEBALLS.

We have this cleaner... Hoover Turbo Scrub Carpet Cleaner https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G5KMQDI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XhXVCbBBNKTFE


With kids and pets it's nice to be able to shampoo small areas when needed in addition to whole house deep cleaning.

I can't let it sit, so the moment I notice a spot I have to stop everything and just get rid of it. I pour a little clear vinegar over it then suck it up with my Spot Lifer. Then I give a very, very light spray of Method Antibacterial Cleaner and use my Spot Lifter again. Then I hit the spot with another treatment of vinegar and list it for the last time. The stain have been improved by about 90-100%. The earlier I get it, the more of it comes up. If they did it at night and I don't notice until morning I can't get it out completely.

Worth every dollar

It's something like this beast I think. We got it when we bought the house because we didn't want to rent one for doing the initial cleaning. It does leave the carpet wet for a while but it makes it look brand spankin new.

geht so. Dampfwischen ist sicher ganz gut, weil Bakterien besser abgetötet werden. Diese Dampfmops sind relativ schwer und unbeweglich. Auch wenn wir meistens normal feucht wischen, manchmal machen wir's auch mit Dampf, dann aber mit so einem kleinen Kärcher Hausgerät.
