There are many carpet cleaning machines that we can use to shampoo and clean our carpets. However, the Rapide Spring clean and Hoover carpet shampooer seem to be the best carpet cleaning machines. Let’s compare them and see how they are designed to best meet our carpet cleaning needs.
a. Rapide Spring Clean Vax
This carpet cleaner comes with its Vax cleaning solution. It is designed in a way that makes our carpet cleaning as quick and convenient as possible. Before cleaning our carpets, we should vacuum them thoroughly using a dry vacuum cleaner. Its power switch is located on its back, and we can use it to control the vacuum motor.
To get the best while cleaning our carpets using this machine we need to:
- Depress the solution spray trigger while pushing the carpet washer in a forward direction. To remove the dirty water and solution from the carpet, we will release the trigger and pull the unit backward using the same path. We will repeat this last process until the dirty water reaches the maximum fill line on the dirty water tank.
This cleaner has a float that’s in the lid of the dirty water tank. This lid shuts off the suction when the dirty water tank is full. When cleaning, we should use a smooth steady motion while keeping the nozzle flat against the carpet.
It’s intended for household use only, and its maximum water temperature is 50°C. Its clean water tank capacity is 2.6L, while its dirty water tank capacity is 1.8Litres. Its 6 m cord length carries a weight of 6.2 kg.
This cleaner has a solution reservoir that carries a clean solution under the handle. To remove this reservoir, we press the handle release lever, tilt away from the cleaner, and remove it.
b. Hoover Hard Floor Machine carpet Shampooer
This machine comes with a furniture guard that protects our furniture during cleaning and squeegees for water pick-up from hard surface floors. Its filter bar prevents lint and litter from entering the machine. It also has a foam generator that converts cleaning solution to foam.
It comes with a polarized plug that fits in a polarized outlet only one way. This plug reduces the risk of electric shock. When we need to scrub, polish, or shampoo the carpet, we will use the SCRUB-POLISH-SHAMPOO on the handle. To get to this position, we will move the control button to the left and forward. The WET-PICKUP is meant for hard surfaces only.
The tank has two sections; one for storing the dirt solution from the floor and the other for keeping the carpet cleaner solution. The machine has a tank handle that allows us to carry it from one place to another.
We should use HOOVER rug and carpet shampoo to shampoo carpets and rugs. To use the Hoover hard floor machine and shampooer effectively, we should:
Vacuuming before cleaning– The quality of our carpet cleaning and shampooing depends to a great extent on how we remove particles during vacuuming.
