Steamer
Not sure if this is the correct area to post this, but given the price of the equipment...
As some of you may know, I recently sold my hot water carpet extractor and bought a steam cleaner to replace it. I'm sure there are people that say I should have both, but that's isn't possible with the money at the moment.
After a few trail runs cleaning things in my house the last few days, to get the hang of the machine, I decided to clean my moms car. I stuck to the floor, seat, console and door jambs. First off the regular vacuum job all around. Then I lightly sprayed down the floors and seats with cleaner. Hit the max steam function (about 75PSI it claims) with the triangle brush attached. Hit the carpet and seat in the back first, then wiped up the extra water with a microfiber towel. Then moved onto the front carpet and seat, then the console and dash vents, completing it with the door jambs.
On this particular car, it worked a lot better then the extractor ever did, and could get into tighter places too. It took less time and the equipment is quite, a big plus in my book. The whole thing was dry in about 5 min's of the last section being done.
If your considering a hot water extractor, give a steam cleaner a try. I paid $629 for mine, and that included the shipping.
So far I prefer the steam cleaner over the extractor hands down!
