Has anyone used this carpet cleaner on oriental rugs? If so, how were the results?

I bought this just for that reason, to clean my expensive area carpets. The Bissell ready clean has done a great job! They look like they are brand new!

Yes, I have used my Carpet Cleaner, it is wonderful, the machine is of light weight and very easy to handle, as I ama Senior Citizen and I could handle it well.

I really do not have an anwer for that. I was not happy with mine and returned it because it did not clean any spots on the carpet. I am just being honest about the product.

It worked for me with tile and I had used numerous other products. This is the only one that got rid of the smell for good. I haven't tried it on carpet, but it's worth a try.

i have used it on my carpets and rugs but it says to "freshen" carpets. It does make them look nice and gets rids of odors and germs with the steam. Although, I use the carpet shampooer to clean up dirt and stains. It says to test it in a inconspicuous area.

We just got one of these a few days ago, so I can't speak from extensive experience, but we have berber carpet and so far it's worked great. I used it to clean two greasy shoe-prints (more than a year old), and they came out great using just the surface stain auto setting. If you haven't read this already, you will want to use the hand tool to get up the excess water after the auto cycle is done. You can also minimize the "crop circle" effect by lightly scrubbing the perimeter of the cleaned area w/ the brush on the hand tool before getting up the excess water.

this is a steamer not a carpet cleaner BUT i used it on my low carpets more than once to clean up the nasties from my kids and cats (random furball expelled at night and all dried up and stuck to the carpet, banana and raspberry splattered and dried off, etc) and was great. I used the handle part with nothing attached, the power steam direct on the stain and it melt the yuck away.. after that a quick wipe off and a nice clean spot. I also use the upholstery attachment to refresh carpets after i vacuumed. Gently i pass it on the carpet a couple times and will raise up the threads nicely (besides killing germs and whatever is hiding in that carpet) this is a steamer not a carpet cleaner BUT i used it on my low carpets more than once to clean up the nasties from my kids and cats (random furball expelled at night and all dried up and stuck to the carpet, banana and raspberry splattered and dried off, etc) and was great.

Yes, it works on area rugs. Now that I've had this for years, I want to point out that you have to go to a vacuum store to get the dust bags. They are a weird design, but still very effective. I love this cleaner.

I have not tried this one on carpet yet, it may do a minor cleaning with the pad in the carpet glider, my old one (another brand) had the carpet glider and did somewhat freshen but did not clean as it had no pad to go in the glider. Hope this helps at least a bit. But love the steamer!

I used it on a grease stain on Carpet. I used it with carpet cleaner and worked the stain a number of times scrubbing with the steam to loosen up. The stain on the carpet was over a year old and most of the grease stain came out. Not completely gone but a lot better.. I bought the steam cleaner mainly for cleaning shower door glass. Hope this helps...

I don't believe so, I have used carpet cleaners on regular carpeting and on Berber. As I understand it the Steam carpet cleaners apply heated liquid to the carpet to help loosen dirt "However" that doesn't do any good unless you can get that liquid back out. With the Max Extract and other models that apply "direct heat" to the carpet it helps wick the moisture up so that it can be picked up. I typically go over the carpet 3 times for removal only, this gets the carpet almost totally dry in an hour or so. I also don't use detergent in my cleaning liquid as detergent's job is to attract dirt - once you have your carpets cleaned if there is any residue in the carpet it will attract more dirt making your carpets look dirty faster. I use straight powder Oxy and mix it in the detergent dispenser, this also helps keep your machine from clogging up like a sticky detergent might. The Max Extract model is super easy to clean also - miles better than my old Bissell was. Hope this helps

I watched the employee demonstrate and then attempted it. I had a huge mud stain in my living room on white carpet, and it just made it lighter. She stain is still there. So I don't think it works very well. And not to mention that you have to disassemble the entire thing to get an attachment to work.

I have only used Sal Suds to clean stains with a scrub bus on my carpet and it works. I've never used it to clean the entire carpet.

HI, I am a very faithful user of this product. Have been using it for years and years. We don't have a cat, but we do have two dogs. And Grand-kids. This produce is amazing. It will remove anything. It takes care of our Dog's messes. So I am certain that it will also work as well with cats. Let me know if you have any other questions. I would be happy to assist. this is the only carpet stain remover that we use. It also does not leave any "soap residue as other brands do".

We have several area rugs for which it works quite well. The only rugs I would avoid would be those with a lot of fringe or 'shag' type carpet. It is most effective on hardwood and tile floors.

We use it mostly for floors and we sometimes use it for an oriental rug we have. I don't think it would do such a good job on a thick carpet. We bought it mostly for cleaning after meals ( we have 3 little children) and just everyday mess and we're more than happy with it.
