Can it be used on carpets? I have a ringworm problem and need to eliminate spores!

It is safe to use on carpets and all fabrics. It's designed to kill mold fungus and I am trying to get some data from the manufacturer that shows it also kills the ringworm fungus. As soon as I hear back from them I will let you know.

Carpet is not listed as an acceptable surface to use it on. Listed for use on, are non absorbent surfaces.

Hi Emily, the solution is only for hard floor surfaces, not carpets. I love this steamer for the tiled floors in my home, but I did not think it was great on the carpets. If you are looking for a carpet cleaning machine you can find better options. Good luck!

I use it mostly for my ceramic tile floors. However I have a low pile area rug in one bedroom and it works well as long as you use the "carpet setting" on the vaccum.

I honestly don't no if this cleans carpets I bought this steamer to kill bed bugs we went on a trip a while ago and somehow we brought back bed bugs we tried everything trying to everything of these pest I did not want any chemicals so I bought this unit im happy to say it works great as we found out that hot steam is the only way to kill them we do use this however to to clean our bathroom floors and walls it works very well it does produce a lot of hot steam we never had a problem with it I hope I was helpful take care terry

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

Diatomaceous Earth is miraculous. We got an acute flea infestation in our living room and they were eating my legs up. I dusted the carpet with it (got it from Amazon but don't remember which specific brand) and within two days the fleas were gone. I think you can actually dust the pet's bedding and maybe even the pet with it without it being harmful.

I don't have carpets but looked this up online. People have used it in carpet cleaners. Make sure carpet is colorfast.

It is safe to use on your pet and therefore safe for carpets! HOWEVER, if the space is large you should use a bomb and then vacuum it up. I wouldn't have my children on the carpet after it is sprayed. I would recommend vacuum every day and not spray the carpets to keep the chemicals out of the house. Use the Spray for small confined areas that are heavily infested. Wash laundry often. It takes atleast 8 weeks to rid fleas from a house.

I really don't know if you can. We use ours at church on tile floors. And it clean spots out in carpet we found out. Sorry I really couldn't answer your question.

Probably, but you'd use more than you need. I steam clean my rugs, then give a spray of Zero Odor when I'm done. It works well for me this way.

Sorry I have used it for a lot of cleaning jobs but not carpets. I suggest you google Sal Suds it is family owned and the lady has a great blog on the many uses of the product.

I have read that some people use it to vacuum their rug or entire house. In that case it probably would. I only use it for pet hair on my furniture and have no problem. The filter around the motor gets clogged and would cause it to overheat and shut off. That's just basic for small motors.

You could try it, but I doubt it would work for this situation, it's mainly for stains and oders on carpeting and bedding, I don't think it would be good for tables.

It is not intended for use on carpeting for purposes of cleaning. You could use it to stream a throw rugs edge if it were curled to flatten it out.

I know the previous person said it didn't do anything for their mold, but we had mold and it killed it IMMEDIATELY on contact. The room got too humid and mold came back, used it again and it worked amazingly (so I think it kiils mold in carpet or other things, but probably won't get rid of a shower or sink mold/mildew without scrubbing). With a dehumidifier on, it never came back. I've used it on a red couch and beige carpet and it was fine on both.

Yes, it works really well for at least one room. Of course, it can only remove the spores from the air. It won't fix the source of the mold. You need to control moisture for that. I have a basement exhaust fan that runs whenever humidity is over 30%.

No. It is mainly used to clean ceramic tile and certain kinds of wood floors. I would not use on normal carpet floors. You may want to look at manufacturers web site.
