Can you clean carpets with it?

The directions state: A number of materials and fabrics are NOT suitable for steam. DO NOT use on leather, wax polished furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics, velvet, Dralon or other delicate, steam sensitive materials. Hope this helps.

I am so sorry Anne, i do not have carpet in my home because of my sons allergies. If you would like i can do some research for you, i love digging for answers. I can tell you my husband tried to do the cloth seats in his truck and it was hilarious. He had three fans going on all night (inside the doublecab) and an extension cord hanging out the window to our garage. And the seats were still damp in the morning.

There is an attachment you can put a cloth cover on to steam and sanitize carpet, furniture, hardwood floors or drapes.

Yes it does clean well. It's a great vacuum .. Takes a few times to get use to moving it on the carpet since it's not a standard vacuum. But don't let that keep you from buying it. So pleased with this purchase

This is a high efficiency shop vac. Not suitable for routine carpet cleaning. There are HEPA units made for routine household cleaning that would likely serve you better. They include carpet beater bars etc.

It works great on all those things. It has two speeds as well so you can use the carpet setting on a flat surface to pick up smaller pieces. You won't be dissappointed!

I guess they say you can use it on carpets but not to clean them! Its more like a disinfectant or aomething to take away the smell! I never did though.

No, this can't clean carpets - only steams hardwood and stone floors, and not very well at that! I would encourage you to look at Bissell, Dyson, Shark or Hoover. I would avoid Oreck for anything but vacuum only products.

yes. it works like a carpet sweeper, in my opinion. go back and forth. we have hardwood and area rugs and are very happy with it.

I found that for cleaning things on top of the carpet or slightly under the top, it did fairly well. I found the suction to very weak. I bought a wet vac to use after I use it because it was not strong enough to remove much of the water.

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.

Yes, it is very easy to use on high pile carpets. It seems to pull itself forward and I just have to pull it back. Works like a dream.

Not really great for carpets. Probably need something larger. Can spot clean with it. Mostly it's great for hard floors.

This machine will work great on your car carpets. You will need to bring the unit outside as the hose and attachment are not long enough to reach that far. The attachment has just as strong of a suction and cleaning power as the unit itself! It will really clean your car carpets, fluff them up, and make them smell very fresh. Go on...give it a whirl! :)

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.

Yes, I have used mine on carpet when I have been cleaning my tile and just continued on to the carpet, maybe not as good as my hoover windtunnel but good enough for a quick job. To the people not using it to vaccum their tile and hardwoods I say you missing a better cleaning on your floors. I know a quick sweep is faster but I feel the floormate gets the floor much cleaner for the scrubbing process. And the best part no dust.

It works amazingly well on carpeting. However, the wand does not role very easily across the carpet. Indeed, the best technique is to draw the wand towards you as you vacuum. Also, it does have a tendency to suck area rugs up!

I would say, "no"....this is basically a tool for lifting the carpet pile. It doesn't pick up anything. I use it when I apply dry cleaning powder to rake it in. My son uses his to rake pet hair before vacuuming.

Yes. It has a rinse setting so you can use only water to clean your carpets. The instructions recommend using the rinse cycle after the wash cycle as well.
