Suggestions for Scrubbing Carpet Cleaners please?

2 replies

Itsjustmethatsall · 23/02/2026 14:46

Please could I have suggestions on any reasonably priced, as light as possible, carpet cleaners that scrub as well as opposed to just the spray on/suck up type please? I'm disabled, and unable to get down and scrub the carpet like I used to. Preferably an all in one, although I appreciate they can be heavy. What's the best you've tried? I do have a spot cleaner, so if it entails me spraying the area, then using a mechanical scrubber type thing, then rinsing with the spot cleaner, I would do it, but I'd prefer all in one.
Many thanks for any suggestions

The vax spot cleaner is fantastic and all in one. You will need to sit on the floor though. The large vax is also very good but heavy and not easily manoeuvrable

I have the Vax one, it’s rather heavy and unwieldy, but you can take the water containers off to make it lighter, then assemble it in the room you’re using it in. They do sort of pull themselves along with the scrubber roller, but you pull back yourself. I have a spinal issue, so find it difficult. It may be too hard for you. However mine is an older machine (5yrs) so they may be easier now. The results are amazing though, I use the ‘rug doctor’ solution, available in supermarkets.
