The Vax V-123 Agility Upright Carpet Washer
Modern vacuum cleaners are extremely efficient and there are many different types available. However, there are times when you just can’t get deep dirt out of carpets by the use of a hoover alone. Spills and mud would be good examples.
Anyone who has children, pets – or both – would probably benefit from the use of a carpet washer from time to time. It’s (hopefully) not something that you’ll need to use on a weekly basis. A quick wash once every three to six months should be enough to keep your carpets looking good and clean. If you have pets, the odour in your house will also be improved by periodic carpet washing.
Carpet washers come in a number of different styles these days. The upright type is probably the most common – but cylinder types are also available.
They are also very useful for cleaning up any unexpected spills – before a stain has even had a chance to get established and ingrained into your carpet.
If you have children, especially very young ones who spend a fair bit of their time crawling around on the floor, then having nice clean carpets will give you extra piece of mind – especially if you happen to have pets.
You can pick up carpet washers fairly cheaply these days. They start at well under £100 – which isn’t a great deal of money when you consider that regular carpet washing can extend the life of your carpet and defer the replacement cost.
Of course, you can hire a carpet cleaner if you prefer. You can usually find them available for hire at many larger supermarkets. That might not be a bad option if you just want a “one shot” solution – maybe if you’re just moving into or just moving out off somewhere for example. However, given that the price to buy a carpet washer is now really quite reasonable, buying may be a better option for you if you plan to use it on anything like a regular basis.
