I see someone has already asked if this steamer can also steam iron clothing. can someone please answer? also, will it steam clean entire area rugs? I've read through all the reviews and all I've seen is "spot cleaning".

When I owned this the company made an accessory that could be used for steaming clothing ...at an extra cost. I never used it on rugs. Don't know about that one.

We haven't used a steamer but we don't notice any dirt left behind. So its works better than anything we have tried.

I do use it on mine, it helps with hard to reach areas and loosens and cleans, it won't do it all, of course, you still need to wipe with a clean rag, on hard areas I always dry clean with a soft brush and rubbing alcohol first, then continue on with the steam, be sure the fabric you are using it on will withstand water or steam though. Works good for the mats and rugs, still have to wipe and brush of course, but makes the job so much easier and looks so much more finished in the corners and cracks where you can't reach. I really like my steamer, use it on most everything, saves my fingers and hands with arthritis. I have a bigger machine also, but I grab this one evrytime unless it's for a floor.

I would not use this item to steam clothing. Although I suppose it is possible, I had not really thought about it. You would need a wider attachment than is included. It is really made for cleaning.

Yes, I would say you could steam clothes even though it doesn't have a clothes steamer attachment. There are a couple of attachments that should work for steaming clothes.

Yes, I love this machine. When changing the sheets on my bed, I steam clean the mattress pillows, eta. Mites or any other pest cannot survive the steam. Its great on artificial plants cleaning the dust quickly, however, test lightly for those sensitive types of arrangements for it is steam and can dampen soft types of fibers. All in all I love it. Oh its great on grout too

I've had the same experience. I attempted to use a steamer without much improvement. I would not use an iron because you can actually scortch the fabric. I have only the black and white muslims and Photoshop any visible wrinkles out which are very little that are visible. I'm not sure how you are using the black or white but I use it for high key and low key effects so actual background showing is limited. Hope that was helpful.

I myself have not used it on my carpet yet. I did use it on my furniture though. It's not like a carpet\upholstery cleaner where it applies hot soapy water and extracts it. The steam loosens and lifts the dirt to the surface and you have to wipe it off with a towel. That's what I did anyway. It's a little bit of work but well worth it. My furniture looks like new again. Carpets would have to be done the same way I'm sure. I don't think it was designed to clean big carpet jobs. I would go with an extractor type cleaner if carpet cleaning is what you're mainly after.

I just used my new F7411-900 on my couch and rugs and have to tell you guys that the SteamVac did a really nice job. We could see the difference by comparing it to the yet to be cleaned loveseat. I wouldn't call it a SteamVac but more like a HotWaterVac since you add the hot water but the vacuum doesn't heat it to steam temperature and the water cools while you use it. Don't get the hard floor attachment. I have to return mine because it isn't long enough for the front of the WidePath.

No, it does not produce steam and you can't see steam coming out of it. I don't know why they call it a steamer. The powerbrush part of it, however, is phenomenal and we really like how well it cleans. We like it better than the ones with the heating elements that purport to be good on pet stains. This one works better and is smaller for storage purposes.

Sorry I didnt see your question before today. I see your question has been answered. I hope you enjoy the steamer as much as I enjoy mine. Happy holidays.

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.

There is no suction, so while the steamer part is great, you would have to rub wet with towels and let air dry. I have a rug steamer that has a hand held portion that I use for upholstery and spots.

The steamer part is pretty easy to use in my opinion. Fill the compartment with water, set the vacuum on the pad and turn the dial to steam. I have tile flies and have not noticed streaking. The vacuum container does need cleaned after each use because it's pretty small and really affects the suction if full. Works great for my kitchen to vacuum and steam. Not for the whole house and lots of carpet.

Hello, I brought this steamer, and had a positive review. What exactly are you looking for this steamer to do for you? I've used this steamer 2xs a week since October, and it still works great. My hair is so soft and easy to handle after my steaming sessions. I am African American with thick, long, kinky hair.

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.
