Since I just put laminate in my livingroom and diningroom last month, and we have either hardwood or vinyl everywhere else, all I have left carpetwise are area and throw rugs.
Knowing I planned to do this, I bought a Bissell Little Green Machine at Christmas time. Used it before I put my area rug back down on the new laminate floors. Mind you, I have a Yorkie and a cat on that rug so lots of hair and dirt to keep up with. It did a really good job.
It also vacs out most of the moisture so it was mostly dry within a few hours and completely so overnight.
It's a little machine though so not sure how it would do on an entire carpet. would probably be good for spot-cleaning or to do stairs if you have those. |
