While the best vacuum cleaners do a solid job with dust, crumbs and pet hair, they’re not really designed for dealing with set-in stains, muddy high-traffic hallways, or the flattened pile of a well-worn living room rug. To bring a tired carpet back to life, you need more than a quick once-over, you need to wash, scrub and lift out embedded dirt with one of the best carpet cleaners.
Carpet cleaners work by pushing water and detergent deep into the fibres to loosen dirt, before extracting the now-dirty liquid along with stains and odours. It’s a bit like the difference between simply brushing your hair and giving it a proper wash.
