carpet cleaning, does it work?

It steams as far as sanitizing. But as far as removing stains, I would use carpet cleaner prior to steaming.

The instructions say it will work on carpet, but I have a carpet shampoo system already so have not tried it on carpet.

It does, but it leaves the carpet very damp because there is no suction feature. I would recommend that it be used only on area rugs or throw rugs that can be draped over something to dry top and bottom. I use it primarily for tile and Pergo floors. It works very for that application.

I was amazed how much old fur and dirt was released from my berber carpet when I used the steam stetting. The vac is not very strong but the steam is amazing.

I have used it on the carpet, but really only as a sweeper. It works well in that regard. I have pets, so just adding steam without extracting anything is asking to make my house smell like a wet dog :)

I think it would be fine for a small rug. I only use it to clean a bedroom carpet and it works pretty well. My carpet will usually dry in less than four hours. It is not as powerful as my first carpet cleaner, but overall, I am pleased with it's performance. I do miss the hand held attachment for concentrating on some stains instead of the ole' soap and a scrub brush routine, but it works.

I've only used it on a "regular" carpet and a Berber carpet. In addition to new stains its gotten out old stains in both. Hope that helps.

Hi Emily, the solution is only for hard floor surfaces, not carpets. I love this steamer for the tiled floors in my home, but I did not think it was great on the carpets. If you are looking for a carpet cleaning machine you can find better options. Good luck!

You can clean carpets with it yes, but I personally haven't done that yet. It works wonderfully on my kitchen floor I can tell you that. I also cleaned 2 old and extremely dirty recliners with it however. It did an amazing job on them. They look nearly brand new now.

It works fine, but to do the job properly, we use a Swiffer. The vacuum will clean up just fine, but to remove dirt, etc., the Swiffer is designed to do that better.

Yes, it does - unfortunately the pet stains I had on one rug were too much & just sent it out for professional cleaning - but, it did a great job on our indoor/outdoor carpets that were muddy from our dogs!

Yes. You need a cleaning liquid. They emphasize using a Hoover brand specifically. I bought mine on Amazon. I also rinse the carpet after washing with one part white vinegar to two parts water. I find this helps to get rid of residue that attracts dirt.

Yes, it works fine on carpet. The only problem was that ours stopped working at all in less than a year, which was a bummer because it was a cute toy.

I have only used Sal Suds to clean stains with a scrub bus on my carpet and it works. I've never used it to clean the entire carpet.

Works great. It has a carpet setting and a hard floor setting. The suction is strong enough to clean up those bare floors with ease. Hope this helps!

No, it does not. It is not designed for deep carpet cleaning, but does okay on surfaces.

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

Yes, but it dosent work very well. It dosent pick up anything bigger then a dime. And if you have carpet that has any length at all it dosent even do that.

I have found that it works on a really low pile carpet. It isn't as fast as it is on a tile/wood floor.

It is not actually a vacuum cleaner. However if the carpet is only lightly covered in dirt and more in need of a rug cleaning then the carpet cleaner can be used to do both jobs at once. It sort of depends on your thought as to how to best go about cleaning your carpets. Experience seems to be the best teacher. After using my Carpet cleaner for several months now I seldom vacuum unless I see no reason to clean the carpets. As times goes by the more times that I use the carpet cleaner over the same carpet over time the carpet gradually becomes even cleaner.

I'm not impressed by it on carpets at all, just spent an hour with it and stain/spot lifter on a 2 square foot area by my back door trying to get rid of the "heavy traffic" look. Despite carpets being professionally cleaned less than a year ago and living alone it barely made a dent in it. I may try a Haan if I purchase one of these ever again, they seem to do better all around.
