What makes a good carpet cleaner?
Show what makes a good carpet cleaner
Four things decide how clean – and how dry.
Brushes that scrub
Spinning brushes loosen ground-in dirt.
On our floor: Hoover has two, Sanitaire one big one.
Hot water, never boiling
Hot tap water helps the formula work.
On our floor: neither heats water – start with hot tap water.
Suction decides dry time
Less water left behind – it dries faster.
On our floor: Sanitaire’s own suction motor · Hoover’s warm-air drying.
A hose for stairs and sofas
A hand tool reaches what the base can’t.
On our floor: both have a hose and a hand tool.
Formula: use one made for carpet machines. We stock it – ask which suits your carpet.
Compare them side by side at the counter.

No spray
Often a clogged tip, line or pump.
Weak suction
Often a loose tank lid, a clog or a worn seal.
Brush won’t spin
Often a belt: $10–20 + the belt.

“I’ve also taken a carpet shampooer to Starks for service after some rubber bands broke inside of it. They charged a small fee, which I was glad to pay, and got it back to me the same day. Great staff. Great service. Highly recommended.”
