SEBO Duo-P carpet cleaner review

[dysondestijl]

Got some of this:

 

[dysondestijl]

'Made' some stains, left: compost, right: crushed M&Ms

 

[dysondestijl]

Don't worry I used some old carpet I got out of the loft!
I used general household stuff, like if a plant pot falls over then there's the soil stain and if you trod on some m&ms then that's how you get that stain,
Vacuumed over the stains..

 

[dysondestijl]

All done!

Then applied too much duo-p with the brush included in the lid:

All groomed in:

I Duo-P my living room rug every 6 months. Using the George to wash it isn't really necessary as it's not a great quality carpet and not particularly deep pile, but the Duo-P brings it up so nice and restores and pile.

 

[dysondestijl]

Left about 25 mins and then vacuumed:

And both the stains are still just as prominent as they were before.

George, you might want to try leaving it over night, and also cleaning it up with a better deep cleaner than a Dyson. The worse the stain, the longer duo-p needs to work it's magic. It managed to get red wine out of my Mums cream living room carpet, but we had to leave the powder down overnight. Make sure you brush it well into the pile in different directions before leaving to dry.

We had some of this I thought it was crap, you can't beat wet carpet washing!!

 

[alexhoovers94]

Why bother leaving it over night? What a waste of time! When you could clean it up in minutes with a carpet washer/extractor which will ultimately do a better job.

 

[dysondestijl]

Well, just for a laugh...

 

[dysondestijl]

Get to work...

 

[dysondestijl]

Stains are gone! And this is a static brush washer!

When you could clean it up in minutes with a carpet washer/e

Yes, but that involves lugging a big heavy carpet cleaner out, setting up, making sure you have carpet shampoo in, washing the thing out afterwards and putting it away, all for 1 poxy spillage? No thanks. You'd also still have to wait a few hours for the carpet to dry, whereas with the Duo-P powder, you can walk on it, leave the furniture where it is etc.

Hey chris, I agree with everything you say, but I have to say my vax carpet washer is very lightweight and takes just a minute to set up or put away. But yes, the carpet has to dry.

 

[sebox4]

Got some of this with my X4

It did a fairly good job, although I've very dubious of dry shampoo powders since my Mum bought her DC01 de stijl which came with their 'zorb' powder, clogged the whole thing so badly it had to be sent to dyson for a service!

For stains, I normally just use one of those spray stain removers like 1001.

I guess both have their advantages and disadvantages. I wouldn't use Duo-P, for example, to deep clean a large area of deep pile carpet. But for a spillage or quick spot clean, it's great.
