Has anyone tried this to spot clean carpet?

I haven't tried to spot clean my carpet with this unit yet but I'm sure it would work. Carpets are steam cleaned all the time. If you're unsure if your carpet is color fast I'd first try it in an inconspicuous spot. This has got to be one of the very best products I've ever purchased.

i don't know what kind of carpet you have, but i did use the steam on one small spot. i did so very carefully. it did clean a spot on the carpet.

I've used it to warm the spot - thus the area was easier to clean, with my normal carpet cleaning solution.

Yes i did it worked for me. It takes some time but eventually it takes it out depends on the size of the spot and the nature of it.

I used mine to successfully find carpet staples (and remnants) in oak floor boards. It seems to work on just about everything metal at close range and iron nail at longer range.

I'm not impressed by it on carpets at all, just spent an hour with it and stain/spot lifter on a 2 square foot area by my back door trying to get rid of the "heavy traffic" look. Despite carpets being professionally cleaned less than a year ago and living alone it barely made a dent in it. I may try a Haan if I purchase one of these ever again, they seem to do better all around.

I have used mine to spot clean carpet stains but not done the whole carpet. And, no, it cannot stand alone. I had mine fall from where I left it leaning on the wall and ended up cracking the handle ring. Hope this info helps you.

It does work to remove the superficial dirt on any kind of carpet. I tried it both ways and it looks fine, however, if you really want to clear off all the hair and are willing to get on your knees, try this 42192 (http://www.pelstat.com/brushes_esd_safe.html), something like this can be found at Target for under $3.

I have used it only on carpet. I does work extremely well on carpet, though.

I've only tried on carpet stains of unknown origin. The darker stains, which could be red wine, were lightened and spread out...really not acceptable results.

I would not purchase this item with cleaning carpets in mind. While I have used it for some spot cleaning, just shooting steam into a carpet has limited cleaning ability. It is like steaming a spot and then blotting it up with a towel. The cleaning comes with the blotting process, which is limited at best. It is not like other carpet cleaners that spray a cleaner into the carpet and then suck it back out, which is more effective.

I have never tried it on carpet i have however used it to clean a cloth couch with great results. I also use it for laundry it has never cause any bleaching or running of colors. My daughter in law swears by sals suds and uses it everywhere in her house. She has a toddler and is all about avoiding toxic chemicals. As they say test a small spot first - I think that the pine will break down most any stain.

it will pick up on carpet, but it will not give you a deep clean on the carpet..

I think this works much better on carpet. It cleans my area rugs far better than it cleans my laminate and wood floors. It does pick up a fair amount, but not along edges or in corners. I also get the pushing dirt effect another user mentioned.

I believe it specifies a "Hoover" carpet cleaning solution but any carpet cleaning solution would work, even a DIY one (you can google it)

It will definitely make your carpet look "refreshed", but I do not know if it will pick up the particles you are referring to.
