good for oriental rug?

I don't know why not, but why you'd want to cover an oriental rug with plastic, I don't know?...

I can't answer the question since I don't know what would be considered "good" for an Oriental rug. The teeth are shorter than the one I had previously, though.

Have only tried it on furs and works well. As to carpets generally, I would think if it were synthetic you should be fine just blot and do not rub. If it is a throw rug best to have a cotton backing to help with the absorb any debris. On high quality wool make sure to test in a small area for colorfastness. The chemical generally is safe on wool and silks and evaporates similar to alcohol based chemicals. There are also tons of Youtube videos to assist with its various applications.

I would not worry about the floors. Of course it depends on how plush the rug is.

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

Sorry, Anne, I can't help you because I don't have deep plush carpeting. I have oriental rugs which don't have deep plush. The Hoover is fine on them. I have it set for the highest of seven settings so you could go down to the lowest setting and get deeper suction.

Not bad for hair for med cat hair. My carpet is a low-pile, almost commercial type, though. It would probably work on a Turkish rug just fine. I don't know how this would work on a shag carpet or for long hair. This carpet sweeper is great for that last-minute touch-up. It's not for regular cleaning.

I see no reason why it wouldn't be fine on an area rug. it's a dry powder that you work into the rug, then vacuum out. However, I had to say I was underwhelmed by its ability to clean an admittedly abused carpet. I tried it on the recommendation of a carpet installer, and it's probably fine for regular use, but it "failed" me on badly stained carpet.

It's perfect for hardwood floors. Not so much area rugs. Mine gets stuck on the sisal area rug I have. You do have to babysit it or it will get hung up on areas.... like the transition between my living room and kitchen there is a hump it won't go over. So I have to watch and help it up. I still love it!

I used it on our persian rug without any problems. Lightly dust with product, scrub gently with soft brush, and vaccum as instructed.

My rug is a 3X5 and is large enough for my Cairn Terrier. It does a good job, too.

It's great on a plush carpet because it lifts dust & debris to the surface as well as lifting the fibers & makes vacuuming more effective, but I wouldn't try it on a woven or a hand knotted rug.I also use it for a quick refresh in between vacuuming, to lift the fibers matted/ covered/ protected by a entry rug, & in high traffic areas just before company arrives.

Depends on the carpet. On Berber it's okay, as it is on short pile. Remember, it is just "okay."

I've used it on my wool rugs with good results. I haven't used it yet On my shag rug as it's new, but plan to in the future.

I think it's safe enough for use on a wool rug. The smell is nice, the ease of use is fine, but I can't really say that I see any great cleaning power, but I use it for the sent any helping with loose dirt and dust removal.

I don't specifically know because I don't have any but you could use the floor attachment that doesn't have a beater bar on those rugs. I have tried that on just my throw rugs and it seems to do fine without bunching the rug up.

No, I would not recommend this for rugs. Even on hardwood I find it barely adequate. I do not like the shape of the foot piece.

The manufacturer specifically recommends a rug pad. Our works beautifully with the pad.
