Can you clean carpets with this?

They claim you can "freshen" carpets with steam. This machine does NOT extract water. I have used it to get stains out of carpet and it worked great.

No. It is mainly used to clean ceramic tile and certain kinds of wood floors. I would not use on normal carpet floors. You may want to look at manufacturers web site.

Yes. It works very well on carpets; both for spot cleaning and daily vacuuming. After surgery, I could not handle the large vacuum, so this small one helped me keep things clean. It comes apart easily and works well as a dustbuster for spot cleaning. The crevice device is great for getting the carpet edges clean when vacuuming close to the wall.

I don't have carpet but it rolls easily on my short-fiber rugs. I'm not sure if the suction would be adequate to clean a carpet.

No, it doesn't clean the carpet, but does come with a 'carpet attachment' which allows you to shoot steam over the surface of your carpet and freshen it. I've also added lavender essential oil to the reservoir along with the water, not sure if they recommend you do that, but it freshens the carpet with a nice added scent and helps to sanitize.

I'm 95% confident that NO, the steamer part cannot be used on carpet...only hard surfaces. Maybe try Bissell 3624 SpotClean Professional Portable Carpet CleanerIt is small scale.

Yes, I have used mine on carpet when I have been cleaning my tile and just continued on to the carpet, maybe not as good as my hoover windtunnel but good enough for a quick job. To the people not using it to vaccum their tile and hardwoods I say you missing a better cleaning on your floors. I know a quick sweep is faster but I feel the floormate gets the floor much cleaner for the scrubbing process. And the best part no dust.

Yes if the carpet is smooth. I do not use it for my carpets as I find it does not pickup as well as my regular vacuum cleaner

Yes. It works very well on carpets and area rugs. You must go slow, however. I typically do an inch per second so it's a slow clean. It does a very good job of "refreshing" carpets. For example, I use it on a 3 by 5 area rug in our mud room. It sees lots of traffic, mud, salt, etc. The steamer is great on it.

Yes - mine are berber / looped so it cleans it just fine. I would suspect it may pickup carpet fibers with regular carpets - but maybe a tad more than regular vacuums

It should be known that this unit does not really "clean" the carpet. But this unit does use hot steam to sanitize and freshen the carpet. You use the large rectangular attachment with both of the extension arms. It's not going to remove stains this unit does not extract any dirt or water. But I have found when I use it for the carpet it does give the room a sense of freshness.

It's not recommended. The Hoover cleaner is great, however, do not use it full strength.

My answer would be no. You might be able to vacuum up excess water in the carpet but you'd need something else to accomplish the actual shampooing.

It does a wonderful job of cleaning carpet. But, that said, it's always going to depend on the fiber. If the carpet is silk, wool or another natural blend, you may have a more difficult time than if it was a synthetic fiber.

Personally, I wouldn't use a carpet cleaner on hardwood floors. Actually, I now wouldn't even recommend this model to anyone since mine is already broken and haven't used/abused this machine enough, but it's long out of warranty I suspect.

Sorry I have used it for a lot of cleaning jobs but not carpets. I suggest you google Sal Suds it is family owned and the lady has a great blog on the many uses of the product.

i have used it on my carpets and rugs but it says to "freshen" carpets. It does make them look nice and gets rids of odors and germs with the steam. Although, I use the carpet shampooer to clean up dirt and stains. It says to test it in a inconspicuous area.

No. This is pretty useless for picking up cat hair on carpet---disappointing.
