First of all, this is not a steam clean. A steam clean needs a powerful truckmount to supply a constant flow of "boiling water". 280° water from a truckmount sanitizes, "hot" water from a faucet promotes bacteria and other undesired effects. 100% steam would liquify carpet. That machine has brushes that agitates dirt so deep into carpet backing even a truckmount cannot fully extract it. Also that machine cannot extract the "warm" water it puts down efficiently enough to provide a good clean.

It does an OK job if you have a lightly soiled carpet, but if you have some real cleaning to do it just doesn't cut the mustard - very easy to overwet, leave too much detergent residue, set stains etc if you don't have relevant knowledge and training. I'm in Australia and to do a proper set up I'd spend around $100,000 to $150,000 for something half-decent (truck and equipment included). Why would I spend that money if a small machine worth $2000 would do the same job? Answer is, it doesn't!

I have been cleaning carpet for 30 years; Rug doctors and Walmart bought machines don't have the power or the ability to properly clean carpet. I have had customer call me a week after using one and was so molded they had to replace carpet. Pro machines remove moisture to the point it only takes from 1 to 8 hours to dry to the pad without air movement. Save your money and get better results; hire a locally owned independent professional. Stay away from large national companies.

How safe is it to be making carpet out of Polyester? It's a plastic that doesn't dissolve in your lungs.
