I have the same carpet from the stairs up and throughout all bedrooms, it is 9 years old and is starting to look it in the areas where it gets most traffic. I was thinking of buying a carpet cleaner in the January sales, budget £150 max. Can anyone recommend one? If there is nothing decent in my budget I might consider getting a professional in.
This thread is quite old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you’ve landed here looking for product recommendations, we’ve recently updated our guide to the best carpet cleaners with lots of options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users and editors. We hope you find it useful.
