how does it clean the rug
273586
Wish I could help but my H2O mop quit working and I called the company and they said my model is discontinued (after 2 yrs.) I would not buy another one from them! They should stand behind their product or get out of the business. I called around and found that repair co. do not want to even look at it. Therefore I am out of luck !

You would need to first vacuum up the cat hair. Then use the he Bona Motion Hardwood Floor Mop to get the floor clean when you spray on the Bona cleaner. I always vacuum my hardwood floors, then use the Bona Motion mop to spray and clean. It's a GREAT mop.

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!

Just run the regular sweeper. No pretreatment is required. Our house we bought was a model home. The carpets didn't look dirty. But we have six little dogs and when we first moved in the peed ALOT. This took care of all stains and I couldn't believe the dirt that was on the floor. And it smelled wonderful.

It works great on carpet. You just have to attach the power nozzle. I think this vacuum is awesome. Most of my apartment is hard wood and I have several large, area rugs. It cleans everything great.

It doesn't mop the floor. It is a sweeper that works really well! I have two - one upstairs and one downstairs. It picks up all kinds of messes and on the underside, there is a tray that traps the dirt. You can empty it by pushing a button on the top of the sweeper. Occasionally you need to turn the sweeper over and remove any dog hair/lint/threads caught in the brushes. I LOVE it and it is so helpful when you make a mess! :)

If rug is thin it'll get bunched up, vac has very good suction. I also use it to clean my car mats. This vac is borderline commercial use. I'm about to replace mine, it got too noisy. It was mostly our abusive cleaning lady's fault. Best vaccuum I've bought since the old Hoover/Electrolux beasts existed.

I would imagine that they would pick up the dirt. I always did a light sweeping before I used it and it worked really well. If it seems like the padis getting really nasty, just take it off and rinse it out and put it back on to finish up. It works great ffor floors.

No, you can't "clean" carpets, as it's got no way to extract dirty water. However, with the glide attachment included, you can steam "refresh" carpets, and supposedly kill dust mites, etc. The unit glides above the carpet and injects the steam into the fibers, but you don't use the microfiber pad, so you're not picking anything up. Hope that helps!

The Rug Rake does load up quite quickly, but it does a great job of picking up cat hair from a carpet. It's hard to remove the hair from the rake with your fingers, but I use a smaller soft wire brush like the "JW Pet Company GripSoft Cat Slicker Brush" or the "Oster Clean and Healthy Cat Slicker Brush" to remove the hair. Then it's quite easy to remove the hair from the smaller brush.

Yes, it vacuums the carpet, and it will pull the yarn right out of an old carpet it is so strong, a powerful vacuum; also, has height adjustment to raise the roller for a bare-floor, the roller doesn't stop rolling when switched to bare-floor as in some more expensive models. In all the years, it is by far the best vacuum I have owned for the money.

Yes this sweeper does a good job on hardwood floors and rugs. Not as good as a "real" vacuum but does a pretty good job.

I use the beater attachment on the small area rugs. To keep the rug from moving, however, I put a foot on the edge of it. You can also use the other attachment to clean it as well. I have a Collie (hairy dog). So, using the other attachment just takes a few more seconds because I have to go over it a few times. Either way, it's not a problem. Hope this helps!

If your vacuum on a plush rug leaves tracks, the groomer rake can make your carpet smooth with no footprints or tracks. When you shampoo a rug the rake is essential to complete the grooming,and stand back up the threads.

Cleaning is fairly simple. Use a slightly damp towel (preferably microfiber) and wipe gently. Lightly agitate little specs that tend to stick on the mat. Excellent mats for the kitchen area.

I mostly pinch the lint and pull it out of the brush. Sometimes I brush the carpet a few strokes to wipe off the ends of the wires. The brush retains some fuzz on it that I don't really do anything about except as described above. I just try to get it clean enough so that it doesn't shed its own debris onto the clothes I am brushing. Picking the brush with my fingers is my main strategy.
