Has anyone used this machine to clean area rugs (wool)?

I have a 20 year old wool rug that I cleaned using the Agility with great results. I laid it on the clean garage floor and used cold water & cleaning solution in the cleaning tank. I went over the entire rug probably 3-4 times and then used plain cold water to rinse several times. It looks almost new. I can't recommend that everyone clean their wool rugs this way, but I had nothing to lose. I was ready to get rid of the rug because I didn't want to pay the high price to get it professionally cleaned. If this is your case, why not go ahead and take the risk.

I can't use full power on area rugs it sucks them off the floor. I use a turbo nozzle with rotating brush it has enough suction to power it. Cleans my carpets better than Eureka upright with brush. It is a commercial vac very well made comes with a 2 year warranty.

The Braava will avoid the area rugs, it will not get the dirt from the microfiber pad stuck. You still need to sweep up larger items, as the braava is not a vacuum and has no suction. It picks up dirt, dust and fine particles nicely.

I use it on small kitchen area rugs only. It would be too much effort to do a whole carpeted room. It's best for hard surface floors. Makes cleaning a breeze on those.

I have rugs from Iraq and store bought in the USA. All get clean with this machine.

Yes. It works very well on carpets and area rugs. You must go slow, however. I typically do an inch per second so it's a slow clean. It does a very good job of "refreshing" carpets. For example, I use it on a 3 by 5 area rug in our mud room. It sees lots of traffic, mud, salt, etc. The steamer is great on it.

I have 2 different carpets. One really thick and the other is thin. It did a great job, the prep work helped out. As for wool I don't think it would damage it .

This machine is good enogh for egitation but you would still need a detergent to emilsfy the dirt and an ectractor to rinse every thing up. Using the map is also an option butnothing peat the hot water extraction on my openion. Most carpet cleaners offer tile and grout cleaning for as little as 75 cent/sf. Http//:sanosteam.com

I have returned it. It did not work for me. It was neither a vacuum cleaner nor a floor cleaner.

I think it's safe enough for use on a wool rug. The smell is nice, the ease of use is fine, but I can't really say that I see any great cleaning power, but I use it for the sent any helping with loose dirt and dust removal.

THAT is why I bought the machine. My late dog Beau used the living room as his own private vomitorium and toilet. Some of those stains were several years old as my old machine had broken. I used double strength solution (4 capfuls per fill up versus the 2 capfuls the manufacturer recommended). The machine got the stains out in about two passes of the machine. This thing DEEP cleans. The coffee colored dirty water proved this to me. I highly recommend it. I used to town the Bissell upright vacuum type cleaner which did a passable job, but died after a couple of years. I'm hoping this machine will stand the test of time. Good luck.

No it does not. I, luckily, had a cheap broom with a screw on brush which I took off and used with the brush in the kit. And, I was not impressed with the cleaning that this product did on my wool rug.

Personally, I wouldn't use a carpet cleaner on hardwood floors. Actually, I now wouldn't even recommend this model to anyone since mine is already broken and haven't used/abused this machine enough, but it's long out of warranty I suspect.

I use it on medium pile and I have had good luck with it. Pretty good little machine. I like it better than the green cleaner without the rotating brush.

I love my machine. I have used it on tile, but because of the brushes it did not have a good seal for suction. No big deal. It does a great job scrubbing. You will just have to run a mop lightly across it at the end to get the little bit of water that is left. I highly recommend it.

Works great on our flatweave area rug - Neato cleans as part of the regular schedule, moving from hardwood to rug with no issues, and we've also spot cleaned just the rug. We have our rug on a non-slip pad, so I'm not sure if there would be any issue on a rug that is directly on the floor or a non-flatweave.
