Neutral-coloured carpets have been popular for some time. While they look beautiful, they tend to collect dust more easily than patterned or dark-coloured carpets. This means that, unless properly maintained, they may have a shorter lifespan.
Regular vacuuming only removes surface dirt and debris. For homeowners who want a deep clean, it’s worth considering investing in a carpet cleaner.
These devices are particularly useful for homes with many pets and children, and are able to remove dirt and stains from frequently soiled areas such as stairs and sofas.
Carpet cleaning machines can often cost as much as vacuum cleaners, sometimes more. However, Amazon currently has a Vax vacuum cleaner for £150 off.
The Vax Smartwash Carpet Cleaner for Pets is now £199, originally £349.99. The same discounted price is also available on the official Vax website, according to the Express.
The device claims to eliminate 99% of bacteria and comes with an integrated new pre-treatment wand designed to remove stubborn stains and odours. Vax claims that the Smartwash Pet-Design Carpet Cleaner cleans seven times better than a vacuum cleaner alone.
A large water tank is built into the vacuum to collect dirt and grime from the carpet. The brush head also uses motion-sensing technology.
With over 2,700 customer reviews on Amazon, this carpet cleaner is impressive for its cleaning results. One customer expressed their surprise: “I had no idea my carpet was harboring so many stains, and the color of the dirty water on the first wash was shocking. After the wash, the carpet looked brand new, which was really impressive.”
Another buyer praised the product for its “sturdiness and excellent quality” but also highlighted the noise issue, commenting: “The noise is the only very, very big downside, especially when using it in a small room. We had to use active noise cancelling headphones. It would be impossible to use it without them.”
For those with limited storage space, spot cleaners are ideal because they are small and easy to store. Argos offers the Tower Aquajet cordless spot cleaner for £90, which has a dual tank to keep clean and dirty water separate.
Going back to the Amazon feedback on the Vax Smartwash Pet-Design Carpet Cleaner, another buyer shared his positive experience: “It cleans and washes carpets very well.
I have a cat bed at home, so pets soiling the carpets is a common occurrence. I bought this to clean my carpets and it works very well. I am very happy with its performance. The instructions are clear but basic. I would recommend it for cleaning carpets.”
