Best Carpet Cleaners

Your carpet deserves better than a quick and superficial cleanup. Rug Doctor is your one-stop solution for cleaning carpets in one pass – and on a pro level.

Let’s start with the fact that this commercial grade carpet cleaner can spray, scrub, and extract anything from your pet’s mess to grime and dirt. If you have animals at home, you know how painful the cleanups may be, especially after shedding. Rug Doctor saves you time, effort, and energy by taking over this tough job – and doing it flawlessly.

The process of cleaning up your carpet starts with spraying it with a cleaning solution. The machine injects the solution deep into the carpet to remove the embedded dirt, stains, and odors. No need to sit down and brush it off by hand; this cleaner will do everything for you.

Next comes the scrubbing. Rug Doctor is equipped with the triple action vibrating brush; now each carpet fiber will get cleaned from every angle, and you’ll finally get rid of all the old dirt. Where other rotating brushes would rip out the fibers, this one minimizes the losses, keeping your carpet clean and intact.

When it comes to carpet and soft floor coating cleaning, there is virtually no task the Bissell 86T3 can’t accomplish. Designed to give carpets professional clean, this model delivers outstanding cleaning performance hard to beat even for rental cleaning machines.

At 12 amps of power, the unit boasts a really strong suction power and can efficiently suck out all the dirt, filth, and debris sitting deep in the carpet pile. Along with that, it also effectively sucks up moisture, leaving your carpets clean and dry in a single pass. Though a 10.5-inch brush head is not the widest out there, given the cleaning result you’ll achieve in one go, you will still be able to cover vast areas pretty fast. 

In addition to stunning cleaning power, the Bissell 86T3 is distinguished by its oversized 1.75-gallon water and solution tanks and 25-feet power cord that will allow you to cover large areas and open spaces without a need for a refill and no extension cords required. All of the above makes this carpet cleaner just a perfect choice for big multi-story houses, office premises, showrooms, stores, mini-hotels, hostels, and other big carpeted areas.

Overall, this Bissel cleaner is solidly built and definitely designed to last. It has hefty wheels for smooth propelling over soft surfaces and a collapsible handle for convenient use and hassle-free maneuverability. The only gripe you might have is a pretty heavy unit weight that will take you some effort to carry it around. Yet, given its intended use, oversized liquid tanks, and powerful performance, heavyweight construction is fully justified.

The Hoover FH50150 carpet cleaner is an excellent assistant in cleaning your house. The cleaning efficiency this device provides is truly impressive and is achieved by using different cleaning modes covering the most of (if not all) the surface types in your home. This cleaner device makes it easy to clean a carpet, any other floor covering, furniture upholstery and even a car interior owing to its removable attachments which can be attached to the leaner’s hose. When the wet cleaning mode is selected, the device not only cleans the surface but also dries it, saving your time. The main brush tool has the SpinScrub tool, which makes the carpet cleaner capable of removing any dirt while the stains and big dirt accumulations are removed utilizing the CleanSurge technology. The combination of these features leaves the dirt and stains on your floors no chance and removes them preserving the integrity and color of the cleaned material. The 11-inch width of the foot provides a quick sweeping of a large surface in one pass.

The Hoover FH50150 has all the tools and accessories in its package required for efficient cleaning. The most frequently used attachment is probably the main brush tool. However, you can use any bundled attachment instead of joining it with an attachable hose. The set includes a stair tool for cleaning stairs, a SpinScrub Hand Tool for big surfaces, a crevice tool to reach for confined places, and a tool that serves as a carpet and upholstery cleaner. With this kind of set, you'll have a total refreshment of the house. All detergent solutions are included in the pack.

While there are many tips out there on how to keep your luxurious rugs looking spotless, no amount of vinegar or shampoo can replace a good, deep clean done by a device specifically designed to get the dirt out of carpets. If you’re not convinced yet, you’ll definitely agree after you’ve read up on the Bissell 1986 ProHeat 2X.

You can use this device’s dual DirtLifter power brushes to scrub through rugs, carpets, and upholstery, catching all dirt and dust that have accumulated in the pile. The doubled brushes mean that whatever the first one misses, the second one gets to. These, coupled with the Heatwave Technology™, take care of the dry debris and dust.

As for the spots that can’t be scrubbed out by the brush alone, the Bissell 1986 uses dual 1-gallon water tanks for wet cleaning. You can mix in some cleaning formula (two batches supplied with the purchase) to erase spilled wine, food stains, and pet “accidents” easily. If a stain proves particularly nasty and tough to get out, the Bissell 1986 comes with a 3-inch tool designed specifically to take care of these nasty spills. It can even be doused with the Pet Urine Eliminator formula that comes with the cleaner and you can probably guess what that one’s intended for.

If you are a kind of tech-savvy and welcome smart features and automated functions in all sorts of household appliances, the SmartWash carpet cleaner from Hoover will definitely catch your fancy. What makes this very model stand out is a balanced and thought-out combo of automatic cleaning features that narrows down your effort to only mowing the cleaner forward and backward. Sounds fascinating? So, let’s look into the Hoover SmartWash automatic functionality in more detail.

• Auto mix. If you are not new to carpet cleaners, you know that mixing water with detergent might turn out a challenging task. It’s very easy to overuse and end up with a foamy carpet. The Hoover instead offers automatic cleaning solution mixing and dispensing to take any guesswork out of this process and deliver excellent cleaning results.
• Auto clean. This model boasts a triggerless motion-sensing design. It means, it will switch between washing and drying patterns automatically. Once you push the cleaner forward, it will spray the water to loosen the dirt and when you pull it backward, it will activate the suction to extract the water and dry out the carpet. And there are no triggers or buttons to press.
• Auto dry. The SmartWash is one of those advanced carpet cleaners that boasts automatic drying. It uses not only powerful suction to pick up water but also heated air pushed down from powerful air jets when you pull the appliance. More than that, you can set the unit to dry mode only, thus, speeding up the drying process almost twice.

To let you get the most out of those automated functions, the model is very maneuverable and a pretty low profile to get under furniture with ease. Meanwhile, a 12-inch cleaning width allows covering larger areas within shorter periods of time and separate tanks for cleanser, clean water, and dirty water ensure high cleaning efficiency with minimum fuss.
