I recently purchased a Vax Platignum carpet washer. My hall carpets were really dirty(recent building works and a nervous dog)
We'll I am astounded! My carpets look like new with one wash.
The machine is easy to use, quite light to push and pull and the cleaning liquid goes a long way.
I have also cleaned a Rug and its like new. I would recommend d the Cleaner. Buy direct and get the steamer free. Good value. I'm really happy.
