steam cleaner or vax thingy for cream rug?

[used2bthin]

I've also got laminate floors so in a way the steam cleaner would be good in that it would clean that too but would it do the job well enough on a cream rug(again, what was I thinking with a toddler around?!)

Oh and I haven't got much space so whatever it is probably needs to be smallish as I'll have to keep in in my ensuite bathroom along with the hoover...and ironing board.

I wouldn't bother with a vax cleaner for one rug - we washed ours by hand in MILs garden, the VAX didn't really clean it anyway.

Oh really? Am kind of glad you said that as they look quite big! Thing is it probably needs cleaning every xcouple of weeks so I wonder if one of the smaller steam cleaners would do the trick?
