I need a carpet cleaning machine that gets out pet soils

Our carpet has three dogs running across it, often coming in from a muddy yard, the shark did a fantastic job of cleaning up the stains. I think it is great.

For the best results, you should use this immediately after the carpet is soiled. I'm not sure if it will work on old pet stains.

The power carpet attachment is powered from the handle. But this will only work if the machine is powered on from the canister.

Yes, but I would be concerned about the poor suction of this model. With carpet with that tight of a loop, it may not extract the dirt effeciently. If you want to give it a try, I would recommend buying it from a reputable retailer. We bought ours from Costco (you know, the warehouse), actually ordered from www.costco.com because they don't carry it in their warehouse stores. The great thing about COSTCO is that they offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on ALL products they sell. I've even seen people return ketchup with no problems! I know, sounds crazy but this lady thought it was too vinigary. Anyway.....it's always nice to have that type of protection when dropping over $100 on something that may not work. We paid $169.00 with free shipping to our front door.

I don't think this machine would have that much suction. It is really good for the usual loose dirt,, stones, etc in the carpet. Hope that helps. Jb

I used the Dirt Devil Simpli -Stik vaccum which has a crevice/corner attachment. It's not expensive. Amazon sells it for $19.

Absolutely! The Bissell will clean better. You really don't want solid dirt in the machine. It will still find some though. I vacuumed thoroughly twice and the Bissell still had some grit in the dirty water.

It really works best for fluffing up older or crushed down carpet. I think a vacuum with a beater bar would be your best bet for removing particles from the carpet.

I would buy the Bissell Sweeper. It works really well, for in between clean up. It's great withthe dog hair...am very pleased with it.

Well I would say yes on small spots, if you have a large spot on your carpet you could use the floor machine. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have Samoyed dogs and it picks everything on carpets and floor without use of hose tool!! I love it.

I bought some on http://amazon.com. Be aware, to not open in the house. If it gets in the carpet, it's hard to clean.

In addition to "condog's" answer below, there is also a "crevice tool" of sorts, a small 1.5" by 3" rectangular tool that vibrates exactly like the floor machine, and it has two pads. The rug package, the hard floor package and the crevice tool packages all have a "scrubber" pad, and a cloth cleaner pad, each. Seriously, we have three rescue dogs from 106 pounds down to 15 pounds, and the sonic duo cleans both new and old stains fabulously.

Use your regular vacuum cleaner to give your carpet a thorough vacuuming. Then use the Rug Doctor to deep clean the carpet. It's much like shaking out a throw rug before placing it in your washing machine.

No. Don't buy this machine. It does not pick up strings, lint and hair from a carpet. Not worth the money. It will not work with a shag carpet.

Just a quick note - I have this Electrolux, hard wood floors, and a dog. I also have the Dyson "animal". I am STILL looking for a solution as neither of these do the job in spite of the expense and hype! If anyone out there has found a real solution - please share!
