REVIEW – I remember a time when having the carpets cleaned was an event. We were told to stay out of the house for the entirety of a Saturday and not to come back until it was dark. 12-year-old me was already on my bike by first light. Coming home was surreal; any moveable furniture was stacked up almost to the ceiling and the scent of clean lay heavy and oppressive in the air. Fast forward to 2022 and carpet cleaning has become a weekly chore (gee thanks, automation!). This particular chore is infinitely easier with a quality carpet cleaner, and that’s why we’re here today. The Tineco Carpet ONE Complete smart carpet cleaner has made it even easier: it shows you when a spot needs some extra attention and in COLOR. Now, come with me on our journey to cleaner carpets; you, me, and our new friend Tineco, who goes by Tiny in our house.

What is it?

I understand that in 2022, every design magazine has these glistening hardwood and new-fangled laminate floors that boast no maintenance and easy clean-up. But what about those of us that still have that bedroom carpet? Or those HUGE area rugs that cost a limb AND a firstborn youth to have professionally cleaned? Which if you ask me is even more of a “nope” when it’s cleaning the smallest spill of salsa (that you actually know to be red wine) that absolutely does not warrant schlepping that carpet to the cleaners. But will an at-home carpet cleaner really do as good of a job? Tineco’s newest addition to its cleaning arsenal, the Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet cleaner, is up at bat and I’m ready to run those bases.

What’s in the box?

Design and features

The Tineco Carpet ONE Complete Smart Carpet Cleaner is a very solid entry to the medium-sized, 1300-watt motor size category. Despite the engine size, the noise level isn’t oppressive; you’ll be able to hear the unfortunate soul that tries to tell you that you missed a spot. But wait, Tineco thought of that too; the iLoop smart sensor gives a clear, colorful indication of the level of cleanliness, moving from red to blue as it detects how clean the carpet is.

The Tineco Carpet ONE Complete Smart Carpet Cleaner is an upright carpet cleaner, so the operation will be mostly the same as the vacuum. It has four different modes of operation, one of which is used when the accessory hose brush is in use. The other three offer a range of options: auto mode, where the machine will actually sense the soil level and adjust the clean water spray accordingly. Auto high mode will maintain maximum spray from the clean water and dry mode will activate the 167-degree heater to get your carpet dry in just FIVE passes, possibly fewer, depending on the thickness of the material. That’s all you get folks; you can’t change the amount of spray manually, you really have to put a lot of trust in Tineco’s sensors.

Speaking of sensors, let’s talk iLoop smart sensor. Its purpose is to show when the area is fully clean. During testing, it felt a little random as to when it would activate and show a little red; it would be red for a split second, but go right back to blue almost immediately and any attempt to find the spot again would be fruitless. I attempted to trick the machine by spritzing water in random areas to see if it would glow red just due to the moisture. Nada. No red. I even intentionally poured my Pepsi on the carpet and on the first pass over the Tineco just sucked it up with no indication anything was even there. Now there were some spots I would have figured would be red, like the dog’s favorite napping spot or the rug at our front entrance. But I found the sensor going off in places I wouldn’t have guessed or places that get little to no traffic like our guest room, or the storage closet. I guess the machine is “doing the work” for me, I just wish I knew what was happening.

According to my partner (who assures me he knows what he’s talking about), the noise level is fantastic. It is measured at 84dB (A), which he told me means it is not considered a hazardous noise (he’s been in the business of administering hearing tests in a past life so I trust him…mostly). During use, we were able to verbally communicate without straining our voices.

Something that took a lot of getting used to is just figuring out what the display was actually trying to tell you. Without picking up the manual and taking a look, you have the iLoop, you have some sort of number line, then numbers that I’m sure indicate something.. and WiFi? Why does my carpet cleaner need WiFi?

Enter: ACTUALLY reading the manual.

iLoop: Red= Bad Blue = Good.

Number Line: This is a DRYING METER. GAME CHANGER. This little meter shows you how dry your carpet is. If you’ve ever cleaned your carpets and had to wait days with the windows open (really not optimal in the winters of New England, I can assure you) or the weird wet wool smell to finally leave your house, you will love this. Yes, as the Tineco is drying your carpeting, you will have a wafting smell of wet wool, but the fact that it dries it to the point where that goes away is, in my humble opinion, awesome.

Number Count down/up/ constants: Ok, this could have used a bit of a quick start guide. On this Machine, 100 means spray all the time, Auto means it will vary the spray therefore the numbers will count up or count down, and 0 gives you the indication that you’re in dry mode. This was a bit of a learning curve because I do try to test how intuitive a gadget can be without the instructions; this one had me RUNNING to the manual.

Setup and use

Upon unpacking, the user must assemble the handle arm into the top slot until it clicks in. Then, just pop in the dirty water tank and you’re about 90% of the way to a surprisingly cleaner carpet: just add water (and Tineco brand cleaner)!

The Tineco Carpet ONE also comes with a handy attachment for upholstery which clicks into its designated spot and performs exactly two functions. Spray when the trigger is engaged and suck when pressure is applied to the object needing cleaning.

I tested this out on an old basement chair (c’mon we all have them) and without going too crazy because it’s a basement chair, I tested the cleaning power on the arms the most heavily soiled.

For what this attachment does, it did leave a pretty clean trail despite no drying function or heated water. Solid 8 out of 10 here.

What I like

• Easy to use: It will automatically spray when it goes forward and engage the suction when the machine is pulled back. Two buttons on the handle make it foolproof and the voice commands help to know what the machine is doing.
• Drying function. I would repeat this over and over if I could, but I think you get it.
• Easy to clean: The design of the water tanks is clearly influenced by the goal of putting the user at risk of touching the dirty water, and the pieces are effortless to rinse. As a consumer, the longevity of a product is important to me, so I appreciate the inclusion of cleaning devices designed specifically for the machine
• Relatively quiet, but especially so compared to other brands of carpet cleaners we’ve used
• I am consistently amazed that I can ever see my carpet at all, based on the amount of dirt and hair this machine picks up. I might be telling on myself there, but it does its job well

• I really appreciate is how easy it is to manipulate the dirty water tank; it is released from the unit with a foot pedal and the cover is easily removed with one hand, making the chore of emptying it an appreciably dry affair

Even after vacuuming before carpet cleaning, the suction on the machine pulled this up.

What I’d change

• More title information on the display screen would be nice. Iconographies could be confusing without repeated references to the instructions.
• Somehow making the handle arm adjustable could make the machine more comfortable for users of different vertical persuasions. I’m 5’7 and this works well for me, but my partner noticed a twinge in his 5’9 frame.
• The power cord. I would increase the length, but I would also like it if the pivot points used to wrap it up were spaced further apart. As it’s designed now, the cord is wrapped around just the lower half of the unit. How thick the cord causes it to bunch up and pop off the pieces meant to hold the cord taut.
• The water tank is a little on the small side, but since the machine sprays automatically based on what mode it is in, you won’t find yourself constantly refilling it.  Not a big change, but if I’m going to be using this on multiple floors, refilling is a pain.
• Manual spray mode. Since I can’t tell what the iLoop sensor is catching, I want the ability to drown a stain I KNOW is there. Or not have the water spray at a full 100 for say, spilled sparkling water. I might just have trust issues.

• The App. I get that there’s a lot that can be done with an app. I can even give Tineco that this is a good maintenance feature. But does my carpet cleaner really need to be “smart”? Sure, the app will allow you to run the machine in different modes, but I found the button to be MUCH easier to handle while cleaning instead of also juggling my phone in addition to cleaning.

Final Thoughts

Priced at a somewhat steep $499.99, the Tineco Carpet ONE Complete Smart Carpet Cleaner will be a serious investment in your home. However, I find it to be worth it. The suction and basic carpet cleaning functions are great and that dirty water tank sure does give me loads of proof my carpets are clean. That confidence is worth the price of admission when you have pets and nephews that spend a lot of time on them. The drying function is still my favorite. Company coming over and Fido (*HEM* Abigail) has an accident on the rug? No problem. Cleaned, dried, and no one’s the wiser. The handle design where your hand sits is very comfortable and doesn’t contribute to a large amount of hand cramping or fatigue. If you’re on the fence about getting a new carpet cleaner (or even just within sight of the fence), heavily consider the Tineco CARPET ONE; not only will it remove dirt as old as the carpet at a 104-degree heated wash, but will then pamper your rug with a 167-degree power dry. I think all the carpets and upholstery in your home would be very into the Tineco Carpet ONE Smart Carpet Cleaner.

We updated this article in March 2022 to add more information about each featured product, based on extensive testing done by the Good Housekeeping Institute. Our original top-rated picks, selected by the Home Appliances and Cleaning Products Lab, remain the same.

If your home has lots of carpeting and upholstery that get lots of traffic and stains from family, friends and pets, a carpet cleaner is a worthwhile investment in addition to your vacuum cleaner or handheld vacuum. Unlike regular vacuum cleaners that remove dry, loose dust, hair, lint and grit from carpets and furniture, carpet cleaners wet clean or “wash” carpets and upholstery using water, a cleaning solution and suction to dissolve stains and remove the stuck-on dirt that regular vacuuming can’t.

Owning a machine is less costly over time compared to renting or hiring a professional carpet cleaning service, plus, you’ll have the machine on-hand to tackle carpet stains the minute they happen and to do regular maintenance cleanings to help your carpets and upholstery looking better, longer. Because we know that not all households have the same carpet cleaning needs, you’ll find recommendations from our cleaning experts for carpet cleaners that can tackle pet messes, are safe for area rugs, and fit in limited storage space.

OUR TOP PICKS

Best Overall Carpet Cleaner

Why We Love It: Brush roll cover is removable for easy cleaning

Take Note: No on-board tool storage

This cleaner is your carpet’s new best friend. This full-size machine deep cleans and works on stairs, upholstery, and can even tackle pet hair. One of this Bissell’s innovative features is a targeted spray nozzle for stains. It works with just the press of a pedal and without having to stop, bend down, and use a separate product. The 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool works dry to pull out stubborn pet hair and wet to zap stains on furniture fabrics and mattresses. Its dual DirtLifter PowerBrush helps remove even the toughest stains from deep in your carpets. Carpet machines of the past have been bulky, but this one is lightweight and gets a high-five from the GH Cleaning Lab for its brush roll cover that removes for cleaning.

• Weight: 17.5 lbs.
• Cord Length: 25 ft.
• Attachments: Tough stain tool, 2-in-1 pet upholstery tool

Best Value Carpet Cleaner

Why We Love It: Pre-mixed solution makes for fool-proof cleaning | One-step removable nozzle to clean brushes

Take Note: Can be awkward to carry

The Hoover Smart Wash is a convenient full-sized carpet cleaning machine at a great price. This budget-friendly model offers convenient features to get the job done without extra hassle. To use, push the cleaner forward and it washes the carpet with a premixed combo of water and cleaning formula. Pull the appliance back and it removes the moisture to dry the carpet. By automatically dispensing the correct combination of solution and water, it’s one less thing you have to do. If you’re worried your carpet is too wet, select the “dry only” setting and give it a few more passes. It also comes with a 12-foot hose, 2-in-1 pet tool, and stair tool. The 22-foot cord and gallon sized tank means you can cover a lot of ground. We found this cleaner to be easy to maneuver, convenient to use, and an overall great performer.

• Weight: 18.5 lbs.
• Cord Length: 25 ft.
• Attachments: 2-in-1 pet tool, stair tool, 12 ft. hose

Best Professional Home Carpet Cleaner

Why We Love It: Large tanks | Handle folds for storage | Easy to disassemble and clean

Take Note: Heavier to maneuver than some models

This is the most user-friendly professional home carpet cleaning machine we’ve found: The large 1.75 gallon sized tanks are super easy to fill, carry and replace, it’s simple to operate and the spinning flow indicator on top takes the guesswork out of knowing when the cleaning solution needs refilling. Though it looks bulky, we didn’t find it difficult to maneuver for a machine this size even when full. The adjustable handle moves to the most comfortable position for each user and folds for easier storage.

A rotating brush roll gently works the cleaning solution into the carpet pile and this, combined with the strong suction, removed deep down dirt and left our carpets feeling soft and not overly wet so they dried quickly. The extra-long 25-foot power cord meant we could clean an entire room and then some without stopping and a nine-foot hose and handheld stain tool is perfect for cleaning upholstery and stair treads.

• Weight: 42 lbs.
• Cord Length: 25 ft.
• Attachments: Tough stain tool, 9 ft. hose

Best Carpet Cleaner for Area Rugs

Why We Love It: Wet-dry vacuum | Works on rugs and bare floors | Comes with a tray for no-drip storage

Take Note: Not for use on silk or other delicate rugs

Low pile area rugs are easy to clean because dirt stays mostly on the surface, so you don’t need a stiff brush to get deep down. The Bissell CrossWave gently cleans area rugs with a soft microfiber and nylon brush, so there’s no fear of damaging the short pile or fraying the loops. Best for low flat rugs, this lightweight Good Housekeeping Seal holder also vacuums dry dirt and works on bare floors. And we liked that it dispenses just enough water for cleaning, but not so much that it wets the carpet back or the flooring underneath. It’s lightweight and has easy-reach controls so you can go from vacuuming to washing without missing a step. There’s even a spot to stash the wet brush until it’s dry. Its two-tank technology means dirty water and clean soapy water are stored separately in the machine, and its 25-foot power cord lets you clean every inch of your living room.

• Weight: 11.5 lbs.
• Cord Length: 25 ft.
• Attachments: N/A

Best Carpet Cleaner for Pets

Why We Love It: Pre-mixed formula stores on-board

Take Note: Takes just over four hours to charge

This cordless Bissell has a built-in rotating brush for deep cleaning that’s easy to switch off when cleaning delicate fabrics. It comes with a nubby rubber pet tool to tackle messes from furry family members. Since it’s so lightweight, it’s incredibly easy to pull out and use the minute a pet accident happens. In our most recent test of portable carpet cleaners, this Bissell snagged a “best overall” rating for stain and odor removal, sound, run time, and more. It removed fresh and dried red wine and blueberry pie filling stains in our tests and ran for 20 minutes on one charge. We found the Bissell easy to clean and maintain so it’s always fresh and ready to use when you need it. It was also among the quietest models we tested.

• Weight: 4.4 lbs.
• Cord Length: Cordless
• Attachments: Stationary pet tool

Best Carpet Cleaner for Stairs

Why We Love It:  Excellent stain removal | Four-foot hose | Retractable carrying handle and wheels

Take Note: Can be heavy, especially when tanks are full | Louder and more expensive than other portables

This Rug Doctor is a real workhorse that powered through our stain tests and did the best job removing both stains and odors. Its large tanks hold 64 ounces of cleaning solution meaning there’s less refilling and emptying during big or multi-room jobs. Though heavy — especially when full — its retractable handle and large wheels make it easy to maneuver or wheel into a closet for storage. And with the Rug Doctor, staircases are no longer an obstacle to clean. Place it either at the top or bottom of a staircase and with its four-foot stretch hose you may be able to clean an entire flight. Have pets? No problem! The Rug Doctor’s nozzle has rubberized bristles to grab hair while it’s removing stains.

• Weight: 18.9 lbs.
• Cord Length: 15 ft.
• Attachments: Dual action pet tool

Best Carpet Cleaner for Cars

Why We Love It: Cordless

Take Note: Short run time

If the upholstery and carpet in your car seem to need constant cleaning, this cordless Hoover is the must-have appliance to keep in your garage. The removable battery recharges in under three and one half hours and works in other Hoover ONEPWR devices like the leaf blower and vacuum cleaners. We found that its slim design and two-foot hose make it especially suited for reaching and cleaning under a car’s seats, inside the trunk and all nooks and crannies. It also includes a 4-inch scrubbing tool perfect for working away to remove all dirt. Its smaller tanks make it lightweight and easy to maneuver and store and in our tests, tea and red wine stains were history.

• Weight: 7 lbs.
• Cord Length: Cordless
• Attachments: Multipurpose scrubbing tool

Best Rental Carpet Cleaner

Why We Love It: Large capacity tank requires fewer fills | 12-foot hose for long reach | Handle folds down

Take Note: Heavy and difficult to maneuver for some | Pricey

If you’re really serious about carpet cleaning, we think the Rug Doctor is the next best thing to a professional cleaning. The rental option is best if you don’t want to own or don’t have adequate storage space for your own carpet cleaner. The Rug Doctor has earned the highest rating from the Carpet & Rug Institute — the trade organization of the carpet industry — for soil removal, water removal and gentleness. Note it only works on the backward stroke. Its 3.9 gallon solution tank and 3 gallon dirty water tank mean you can spend more time cleaning and less time emptying and re-filling your water. If you purchase it, you get a hose and handheld attachments for cleaning stairs and upholstery along with cleaning formulas. When you rent, everything is purchased separately.

• Weight: 39.5 lbs.
• Cord Length: 22 ft.
• Attachments: Upholstery tool (sold separately)

How We Test Carpet Cleaners

The Good Housekeeping Institute Home Appliances and Cleaning Products Lab evaluates carpet cleaning machines for how well they clean pre-soiled, dingy industry standard white carpet test panels. We take color measurements before we start, set up each cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions and run each machine over the dirty carpet for the identical number of passes.

After cleaning, the carpet panel is weighed to assess how much moisture each machine leaves behind. We time how long it takes the carpet to dry then remeasure the color in the same locations to calculate how well the machine cleaned the carpet. Each model is tested on a fresh carpet panel for more repeatable results. Portable machines are tested for how well they remove stains we’ve applied — like red wine and chocolate — from test carpet and upholstery swatches.

We also assess how easy the appliances are to assemble, use and store. We test any attachments on upholstered furniture and have consumer testers come into the Lab to give us feedback on how easy the machines are to use and maneuver.

What to Consider When Shopping for a Carpet Cleaner

Renting a carpet cleaning machine may sound convenient, but when you factor in the coordination required to pick up the appliance and drop it off, the additional cost of cleaning solution, and the fact that the rented machine is probably quite used (i.e. not as efficient or clean as as a new one may be), you may want to spring for your own. Rolling up your sleeves and cleaning your carpets yourself will give your carpets new life and give you the satisfaction of having a clean home. Keep these points in mind before deciding on a model:

• Weight and maneuverability: Carpet cleaners are much heavier to push and more cumbersome to use than traditional vacuum cleaners and once you add water, they weigh even more.
• Footprint: Upright models require more storage space than portable or handheld models. If you don’t have a lot of carpeting, a smaller model may be sufficient for your needs.
• Special features: like edge cleaning, rotating brushes, a hose, a heater and attachments. Most come with attachments to clean upholstery and small areas and small bottles of detergents to get you started.
• Warranty: Many manufacturers post this information on their websites, but a warranty between one to five years is the norm for most carpet cleaners. It’s also important to note that if a manufacturer recommends a specific cleaning solution, using a different one can void your warranty. While you’re at it, check your carpet’s warranty to make sure you’re not using a product that will void it too.

How Do Carpet Cleaners Work? 

Carpet cleaners come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from handheld portable models and canisters to uprights and even professional machines that mimic those you can rent. Many come with hoses and mini nozzles to more easily clean small areas like upholstery and stairs and all have two tanks — one you fill with clean water and detergent solution and one for the dirty water that you pull from the carpet. While carpet cleaners are often call “steam cleaners,” this is a misnomer: They don’t work with steam but you can add hot water to the tank.

How Often Should You Clean Your Carpets? 

Carpet manufacturers and the Carpet and Rug Institute recommend having your carpets professionally deep cleaned every 12-18 months. Some carpets even require it to uphold the carpet’s warranty! While professional cleaners use stronger, more powerful equipment than what you can buy or rent (plus they pretreat stains and can refresh and reapply the stain repellent that your carpet likely came with when it was new), owning a carpet cleaner — even a portable one — means you can do more frequent cleanings and tackle stains promptly so your carpets will look better longer.

Why Trust Good Housekeeping?

Carolyn Forte, the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Home Care and Cleaning Lab Executive Director, has a B.A. in Family & Consumer Sciences from Queens College, City University of New York, and is a consumer products expert. She has been testing, speaking and writing about appliances, textiles, cleaning products and more at Good Housekeeping for more than 40 years.

Amazon is now offering the Hoover Pro Clean Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner for $119.99 shipped. However, Walmart+ members can score it for slightly less at $119 shipped as part of its weekend’s Prime Day competitor sale. This one has carried a regular price of $180 for most of this year at Amazon where it is now at a new all-time low. A great option for refreshing and removing stains in the carpets as well as furniture upholstery before your summer get-togethers, it can be used in an upright position or with the 13-inch removable nozzle and 8-foot hose. It features dual spin brushes designed to remove tough stains as well as a two tank system to keep clean and dirty water separate. A sample bottle of cleaning solution is also included here. More details below. 

A great use of your savings here would be to stock up on some Hoover Free & Clean Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampoo. You can land the 50-ounce bottle on Amazon for just over $18 Prime shipped, which is safe for children and pets with a hypoallergenic formula designed for pet stains and to refresh your carpets from general dirt and grime. 

Another way to prep the home for summer parties without getting nearly as hands-on is with a new robotic vacuum. Alongside the deep deals we are still tracking on the iRobot models at up to $300 off, today we spotted some of the more affordable Anker RoboVac solutions from $130. While not nearly as intelligent and feature-rich as the iRobot lineup, if you’re just looking for a simple autonomous cleaning solution, they are definitely worth a look. Everything is organized for you right here. The Gold Box offer now live on the Tineco iFLOOR3 wet/dry cordless vacuum might be worth consideration as well.

Hoover Pro Clean Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner features:

• DUALSPIN POWERBRUSHES: Double the brushes for a deeper clean, our DualSpin Powerbrushes work powerfully against embedded dirt and tough pet messes
• FASTER DRYING: Uses HeatForce power to deliver even faster drying for any space
• CLEAN BOOST CONTROL: Adds the extra solution you need to get the tough pet stains up and out
• 13’’ REMOVABLE NOZZLE: Wide cleaning path helps you pick up more with each pass while the removable nozzle takes the hassle out of clean up
• LARGE TANK CAPACITY: Large two tank system keeps your clean and dirty water separate so you can clean more and refill less often

The Blog Features a Variety of Articles that Will Inform Homeowners in Atlanta and the Surrounding Areas How to Properly Take Care of Their Carpets

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2022 / Go Carpet Cleaning, an Atlanta carpet cleaning company, is pleased to announce the launch of their new blog.

InterestSpring LLC, Monday, October 10, 2022, Press release picture

To learn more about Go Carpet Cleaning’s carpet cleaning services or arrange for a complimentary consultation, please visit https://gocarpetcleaningatlanta.com/contact/.

As a company spokesperson noted, the founders of Go Carpet Cleaning realize that many homeowners have questions about their carpets, including how to properly care for them and which types are the most durable.

This knowledge inspired them to create and launch the new blog, which features in-depth and educational articles on carpet cleaning, the history of carpet, the different types of carpets, and much more.

“The blog will draw on questions that our customers frequently ask,” the spokesperson noted, adding that as one of the top rated carpet cleaning companies in Atlanta, Go Carpet Cleaning is dedicated to providing top quality information.

Even though the new blog was launched very recently, it is already attracting a lot of positive attention from visitors to the company website.

For example, the Carpet Materials Guide, which outlines which type of carpet a homeowner should choose, as well as the pros and cons of each, is especially popular with readers.

As the blog notes, when choosing carpeting, homeowners should consider the material as well as the style.

“Not all carpet fibers are created equal, and some are more durable than others. The most durable carpet fiber is nylon,” the blog notes.

The fact that Go Carpet Cleaning would launch a blog that is devoted to helping Atlanta homeowners will not surprise the many customers who have used their carpet cleaning services.

Whether it’s dirt brought in on muddy paws and shoes or coffee and red wine spills, our carpets take a beating over time. And if it has been awhile since you last cleaned a high-traffic area in your home, a quick vacuuming probably won’t cut it. As Consumer Reports explains, a good carpet cleaner can help bring new life back to an old rug.

CR’s test is tough, just like the wear and tear on your carpets at home. Testers replicate heavy foot traffic by spreading a measured amount of red clay on light-colored carpeting, then spraying it with water. The clay is embedded into the carpet with a 40-pound iron roller and left to dry overnight.

The testers make eight cleaning passes over the carpet, then eight passes to suck the solution out. So which carpet cleaners are worthy enough to work on your carpet?

The Hoover PowerDash Pet FH50700 for about a $100 is a CR Best Buy. It does a very good job of pulling moisture out of the carpet after cleaning, so there’s less drying time.

What if you have area rugs and want to do some spot-cleaning, including fabric upholstery?

CR tested two portable cleaners made by Bissel—the Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner for $110 and the Little Green ProHeat Portable Carpet Cleaner for $120, a similar machine that includes a tool for stairs. The machines were compared with two Resolve fabric-cleaning sprays.

The Resolve Stain Remover Carpet Cleaner for $7 and Resolve Upholstery & Multi-Fabric for $5 spot-cleaned stains on chairs, carpeting, and car upholstery. The machines also went up against the sprays on carpet samples with eight tough stains.

In the end, both Bissell models did a better job than the Resolve sprays. And keep in mind that in many cases a cleaned spot will stand out if you don’t clean the entire area, and these machines made it easier to do that.

So if your heart is set on having carpeting, then one of these helpers might become your new best friend.

Also, carpet cleaner manufacturers typically suggest that you vacuum up loose debris before using a carpet cleaner. That way you’re not wetting down a carpet with excess dirt, creating a bigger mess.

Performing carper cleaning services without professional help is something that nearly any homeowner can tackle on their own. Whether you’re seeking to deep clean an entire home’s worth of carpet or want to steam and polish up a living room rug that sits prominently in your home, working on this project without professional assistance can be a good option.

According to Angi, DIY carpet cleaning is cheaper than hiring a pro to perform the service for you, and with a few essential tools and some elbow grease, the task doesn’t have to be that difficult or time-consuming. If you’re up for a weekend project, consider cleaning your own carpets.

Start by vacuuming the area with reckless abandon

Vacuuming should be your first stop in the process of really cleaning the carpeting. Vacuuming picks up debris, hair, and other elements that have become stuck in the carpet pile. During this first step, it’s important to take your time and work the vacuum over the carpet from several angles and for a lengthy period of time. Lift any loose debris in the carpet fibers with the vacuum before starting any other part of the cleaning process. This process might require three, four, or even five passes over the surface from different angles, but it will be worth it in the end.

Use a scraper to remove embedded pet hair

Pet hair is one of the main culprits for dirty-looking and feeling carpets. Pets shed like crazy, and their hair ends up deep in the carpeting and trapped in the fibers. A pet hair scraping tool is an ideal addition to any home that plays host to a dog or cat, and using one is a necessary step for any homeowner sharing space with a beloved animal. Over 80 million U.S. households include either a dog or cat (via American Veterinary Medical Association).

These scrapers require manual labor and potentially a lot of it, but the difference they make in removing pet hair from a carpeted surface is immense (via YouTube). There isn’t anything like a hair scraper when lifting out this entrenched feature of pet ownership.

Select a soap and apply it to the carpet

You’ll want to take some time to find a cleaning solution that works (via YouTube). Generally speaking, you’ll purchase a concentrated soap and dilute it with water before use. Mixing your solution following the product’s guidance is essential to protect your skin and carpeting. Then, apply the soap evenly across the surface and allow it to take root in the fibers for the best results.

Power up the steamer and finish off the job

Steam cleaners release hot water into the carpet fibers and apply significant heat to the surface to steam away the liquid, leaving a cleaned surface in their wake. Renting a steam cleaner is relatively cheap and can be highly effective if utilized correctly.

It’s always a good idea to acquaint yourself with the controls and directions for use before starting on this project. The equipment isn’t particularly hazardous, but improper use can burn or warp your carpet. Reading any instructions that come with the unit will help you avoid potential setbacks in the home. Likewise, you usually rent carpet steamers by the day, so it’s a good idea to make two or even three passes over the surface to make the most of your rental and get the carpet as clean as possible.

According to the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), carpeted floors are the best option for a variety of business environments. Carpet is adaptable to small or large areas, improves aesthetics, is sustainable, and represents a tremendous value.

Carpeting delivers solutions including the ability to reduce slip-and-fall accidents, limit noise, conserve energy, enhance comfort, and be eco-friendly. From an environmental perspective, carpet emits very low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to most alternatives

Building owners and facility managers should understand the importance of adhering to a professional carpet cleaning and maintenance plan.

Be Properly Equipped

Maintaining clean carpets in busy commercial environments involves more than simply periodic use of vacuum cleaners or carpet extractors. Professional commercial carpet cleaners operate using a comprehensive approach that includes routine cleaning, interim maintenance, light cleaning, and deep restoration

As with any professionally completed activity, proper carpet care requires having high-quality, well-maintained equipment and a commercial-grade carpet cleaner. Significant advancements have recently been achieved in developing professional carpeting cleaning equipment that has bolstered performance and efficiency.

Some of the most dramatic, equipment-related improvements have involved more powerful batteries that allow cordless use and portability. Components and equipment are considerably more ergonomic, which reduces stress on users and limits the likelihood of injury. 

4 Essential Steps To Performing Carpet Care 

The CRI outlines a series of four critical steps that are central to performing professional carpet cleaning as follows:

• Implementing a regular vacuuming schedule that targets high-traffic areas more frequently and is performed with professional equipment
• Using a Seal of Approval (SOA-certified) cleaning agent for “spot” cleaning as needed
• Performing a “deep” cleaning of the carpeting at least every 12 to 18 months using SOA-approved products to extract entrenched dirt
• Establishing preventive measures for capturing dirt and grime such as the placement of mats in primary entryways

One primary consideration when choosing commercial carpeting and developing a cleaning and maintenance plan involves the amount of foot traffic. Areas of high traffic space require more frequent cleaning and the carpeting material must be durable and stain-resistant.

Selecting A Carpet Cleaner

Finding the best type of carpet cleaner for a commercial facility requires conducting an assessment of your specific needs. While commercial carpet cleaning machines are less bulky, their weight remains a common concern.

For example, lightweight machines are important in multi-floor buildings that require the machine to be carried up a flight of stairs. While the purchase price of the carpet cleaner is important, the affordability of the cleaning agents is a key ongoing expense. 

A commercial-grade carpet cleaning machine should represent a good overall value rather than just a good purchase price. In many cases, a model that appears to be a good “deal” may have flaws i.e., lacking durability.

Look for machines with good internal heating mechanisms that will keep the water temperature high. Units with poor heating capabilities are less effective against dirt and grime and can increase the necessary drying time.

For example, some carpet cleaners have an internal heater for clean water. This feature maintains a higher water temperature to provide a deeper cleaning experience.

The majority of carpet shampooers today have more powerful motors, wheels, an accessory hose, and upholstery tools.
