Hey Guys! As usual, my readers are right up on top of the most cutting edge, sensible “time to do this” thinking, and are considering the options available for carpet and rug cleaners. At this time of the year, offers of free shipping abound online, and the major retailers we love are dueling mightily for our business.

Basically, there are two methods of carpet / rug cleaning machines:

Steam or dry cleaning. Though both have their advantages, one major consideration is the drying time required for the carpet. Recent innovations to the market have significantly reduced drying time, however you need to factor it in when considering your purchase of a machine. Typical drying times can range from an hour to a day. So if you are expecting the kids home in just a few hours, you won’t want them tramping around with dirty feet on your wet carpet!

Hand held units, lightweight uprights, mid-sized portables, and professional strength HE MEN are affordable, and here are the very BEST available to you.

First, evaluate what you need this macho machine to do for you.

Got spills? A handheld “spotlifter” will easily do the trick!

Limited storage? A nifty lightweight can hang from a wall rack. (sold separately)

See a “road” leading from the front door to the kitchen? High traffic area’s will blend right into the surrounding carpet with regular cleaning with a mid-sized unit.

Kids, pets, visitors making your rug look old and battered? Heavy duty shampooer twice a year will bring that new look back!

Looks like you really should rip it up and reinstall a new carpet? Don’t! Regular use of a professionally sized carpet / rug cleaner (or 2x annual visits by the professionals themselves LOL) will have you “floored” at the new look, and fresh smell of your carpets.
