5 things to know before buying a carpet cleaner

1. the carpets are heavy and difficult to clean more complete vacuum. Carpet cleaners are to start heavy machinery. The addition of the cleaning solution can add 6 to 15 pounds for the models in our evaluations. We have a weight of each carpet cleaners empty list and if directly on the page model for every carpet cleaner.

The biggest cleaning products in our tests, the green professionally 86T3 Bissell Big Machine , $ 470, weigh 58 pounds when full and can be difficult to maneuver for a person. The lighter model we tested, the Bissell Power Lifter PowerBrush 1,622 , $ 100, empty weighing 16 and 22 pounds when the tank is full.

2. No need to spend much money for a cleaning solution. Many manufacturers recommend using their own carpet cleaning solution of your brand. Our engineers test every carpet cleaner with cleaning solution manufacturers, and then with the other brand. They found that in a different cleaning solution switching makes no difference in cleanliness.

We also run our tests with each model water alone cleaning, then with water and cleaning solution. Each machine works best with the cleaning solution without them, but the sort order remains the same in each scenario. In other words, the use of a more expensive solution in a machine will not improve unsatisfactory performance.

3. Check the accessories and the length of the pipe. Some carpet cleaners have a tank with water and cleaning solution. But it is more practical a reservoir for water and to have one for the cleaning solution. Even for a carrying handle, so you move the machine.

Our testers found that the length of the tube varies, some models have a 61-inch pipe; others have a 120-inch pipe. Look for a model with a hose if necessary, clean in hard to reach areas. "If stairs are carpeted, you want to have a longer distance to reach the hose," Ciufo said. "Remember that these machines are heavy, you definitely do not want to fall down the stairs of the machine by the hose to pull too far."

4. carpet cleaners to be used according to hearing protection. Vacuum means may generate up to 70 decibels of noise. A carpet cleaner is much, much stronger in our tests, the average noise level was 80 decibels. (A value of 80 is twice as high as 70.) This is the level that is recommended on the hearing protection, especially if the machine is used for long periods. So bring earplugs or hearing protection to ensure protection of up to 85 decibels. (Check out these out - to prevent tips to loss of hearing .)

5. Waxy take some time. An empty can out of the closet ready to go. However, a carpet cleaner? Not so much. First, you need to move the furniture out of the area to be cleaned, you should vacuum the carpet. Then you need to fill the unit with a cleaning solution and water.

If the carpet cleaner is used to push it like a vacuum back and forth while a trigger squeezed cleaning solution to solve. Carpet Cleaner is pressed at arm's length, and then pull to push them while the shutter button.

Vacuum the carpet cleaning solution so that tests with dry carpet cleaner. If the carpet is still dirty, wet and dry, repeat the steps until the cleaning solution to the carpet is clearly removed. If you are satisfied, you can completely dry the carpet before entering or replace the furniture.

We have not finished yet. After admiring your work, you must disconnect the device, clean the tank and debris brushes remove the instructions in the owner's manual.
