recommend a carpet cleaner and/or steam mop?

[Wingdingdong]

Just found myself on hands and knees trying to get stains out of (new) cream carpets for fifth time in a week (1 x tea, 3 x baby vomit, and last straw today, 3yo vomit).

I think I need to accept that with two kids with severe reflux, one still puking on carpets at 3yo and the baby only 4m, I've probably got years of vomit-cleaning ahead. Professional cleaning every fortnight is not an option. Dabbing at puddles is just going to leave patches (as with the old carpets we've just got rid of).

Can you recommend a good steam carpet cleaner, preferably one that could double as a normal vacuum cleaner?

Also I was wondering about a steam mop for the wooden floors downstairs - or is there a carpet cleaner that can be used on wood floors too?

Thanks!

I can't recommend on the Carpet cleaner...but I can recommend a Vax Steam mop...I bought the S2 Bare Floor Pro and it's fab!! I hated mopping before but these really make light work of it ! I bought one as we don't have as much storage space as have just moved and we also have loads more tiled/wooden flooring so I thought I'd try it out. Way more hygienic than a mop and no spending ages rinsing the mop head...you just throw the pad in the wash.

Steam cleaners merely refresh a carpet, but don't clean them properly. You need something that will suction the dirty water up from the carpet.
