Carpet cleaners typically weigh between 8kg (the same as a normal vacuum cleaner) and 18kg – which is very heavy indeed. We always measure the weight with a full tank of water.

Water tank heater - Carpet cleaners should be filled with lukewarm water. Some models, typically the pricier ones, come with a heater in the water tank to keep water warm as you wash, in an effort to improve cleaning performance.Crevice tool - Like most vacuum cleaners, some carpet cleaners come with a supplied crevice tool. This is an angled nozzle, typically with a narrow opening, that you attach to the hose to clean in narrow spaces – such as gaps next to a wall, or the boundary between stairs. Lay the rug outside to dry in the sun. Once the top part of the rug is dry, flip it over to allow the bottom of the rug to dry. Once the rug has dried completely, use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the rug to loosen up the carpet fibers of the rug, as they have probably become compacted during the cleaning process.

Can I clean the carpet with a drill brush?Brushes and brush bars - Underneath the floor head, you’ll find that almost all carpet cleaners have brushes or a brush bar. Both help the cleaner to push water and detergent deep into the pile of the carpet to give your floor a deep clean. Some models have static brushes, but if your budget allows for it, look for models with a motor-powered brush to help loosen ground-in dirt. Powered brushes either rotate (on a brush bar, like some vacuum cleaners have) or move from side to side.
