CatieB Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Who better to ask than the trusted omleteers! It needs to be good; I live in a rural (muddy) location and my house has cream carpets (there when I moved in- why?????) oh and a 7 year old. I want a stand up one as I already have a cylinder one that isnt brill and its too much of a faff to put together, empty etc. So ease of use is a must too and the edges of the stairs need doing as they seem to be the dirtiest bits so with a tool??? Any recommendations greatly received, particularly models as well as brands as I know they can vary by model. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 George, made by the same people who make the Henry hoover, but it is also a wet/dry vac and a carpet cleaner too. Very easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I hired a Rug Doctor awhile ago which was excellent on out cream carpets. I think you can buy them. We have a Bisell quickwash which is ok but nowhere near as good as the Rug Doctor was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Another vote for hiring a Rug Doctor if you can get hold of one, although they are not so good on edges even though they do have an upholstery and stair tool, but they bring up the main areas like new, they clean them and fluff up the pile, very noisy though. We hire one at least once a year from our local Morrisons and quite a few B & Q stores hire them out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Bissell upright. My mum had a old vax that was similar shape to the henry and I could not believe how much easier and more effective the Bissell is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel19 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Or how about one of the steam cleaner ones - they're very good for carpets and get them very clean apparently and you can use on hard floors, windows etc too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
