Hired one today and must say i'm well impressed, done 3 carpets in the house and de doggied the signum, the interior came up like brand new as did the cream carpets in the BMW
£24.99 for the weekend :y and worth every penny!
-
Can I ask how much detergent etc you used for that? I am thinking of flying back to help my parents do their rooms.
-
I got through a litre which was 9.99, only needed to go over it once but I think more would have been needed if heavily messy.
The fluid pops up on ebay every so often when people have bought too much or you can use other stuff which is cheaper.

I used a Rug Doctor on my carpets last year, I would recommend that after the initial clean you give the carpets a warm clean water rinse and treat with scotch guard or similar.

is it any good for wooden flooring ::)

Nope, you need a mop and a bucket...... :D :D :D
I have used the Rug Doctor with pleasing results.... :y could do with getting one again though...., Cat's, Dog's and Kid's, who needs em?...... ::) ::) ::)

How wet/damp does it leave the carpets?
-
It doesn't leave the carpet that wet, I'ts best to choose a time when a good weather forcast is given, preferably sunny if the rooms get the sun so as you can open the windows and let the sun air it out. Try and avoid using the room until it is compleatly dry.

i thought this thread was gonna be about a gynaecologist ::)

We use a Vax Pro that we bought while on offer and it is used regularly. The room is dry within 30 minutes and the carpets are looking klike new due to the contr-rotating brushes and the ability to stop or start the soap, rinse, and brushes at will. A final going over slowly with just the suction going and they are virtually dry anyway.
Tried the rug doctor before we bought it and it was rejected due the time it took for the carpets vto dry and the condensation it caused while they did.
4 rug doctor cleans, including the fluid cost and you could buy the Vax Pro anyway...... ;)

We've got a Bissel one and it is superb... Carpets are dry before you finish the room normally :y

I must admit, I have been considering buying something like this, that has the brushes, our carpet does get hammered, looks OK till you move something, ::) ::) ::) storage is a slight problem but how is it for capacity, seem quite small to me?

That is the downside... Cleaning fluid tank is fine (although I could do with a spare as it can also be used for hard floors with a different chemical) but the "dirty" tank does need emptying frequently ::)

I got one of those Vax carpet washers off ebay earlier this year and they are fantastic. Every couple of months I give the carpets a wash and I stay in the good books with Mrs G for a long time :y
It worked well on the miggy interior as well, esp after dog sitting for a friend. I think it cost less than a ton so well worth it ;)
-
Aye...We weighed up hiring a rug doctor a few years ago.
decided for the cost to buy a Bissell cleaner instead.
Good bit of kit, always there for that spill - great with kids / animals, and for cleaning, no planning and hiring, just grab it and start.
Well worth the money :y
