General Carpet Cleaning

[SeboU1]

What method do you prefer for general maintenance cleaning? I previously preferred the Kirby shampoo, but it can be time consuming for large rooms. My preferred method is the Sebo duo powder, it seems to remove anything I want removed. I also appreciate that Sebo claims that the Duo powder eliminates dust mites for 6 months, as I am severely allergic. I really hate using an extractor, also why I would not like a Rainbow.

I think dry powder would be good for some cases, others need extraction. If it is used every 3 or 6 months to keep dirt off and keep it fresh that is where dry powder is good. The extraction method in my opinion is good for old or heavily stained carpets. E.G. getting a few more years out of a 20 year old carpet that hasn't been cleaned beyond vacuuming before.

I agree. The people that usually have never cleaned their carpets believe that “cleaning carpets makes them attract dirt.”
