Will this clean up sewage and also suck water out of the carpet?

I haven't had to try that yet--thank heaven. They (Shop-Vac) says it can, and I put more faith in them than some other brands. The one negative I've found with this machine is that the filter bag is an annoying waste of money. One of those great ideas that fail in the execution. Bits of debris can't get past the opening of the bag and back up into the hose. Then you have to disconnect everything and run a long rod through the hose to shove out the dirt plug if reversing it to blower mode doesn't clear it. I've given up trying to use the bags. Other than that, I'm satisfied with it.

I don't believe so, this doesn't even work well on carpets. The only reason i still have this is because it sucks up the dirty water that is sprayed on the surface well, helps it dry faster and the amount i payed for it; but the actual cleaning doesn't happen because the brush underneath doesn't rotate to scrub. So to get better use of this, one has to do the cleaning manually and then use the steamer to suck up the excess water.

The wet vat works great. It does take some effort to get a lot of water out of carpet, but it will do the job.

It should but not if it is a big pile. Mine takes out dirt, dog hair and leaves.

No, it leaves the floor so wet you have to wipe the water up. How it could ever clean carpet is beyond me!!

I don't know. I live in a condo complex and used it to clean my toilet tank (really old toilet)

Check out the Bissell 3624 SpotClean Professional Portable Carpet Cleaner this unit has larger clean and dirty water tank that may better fit your needs.

I'm not sure. If the mold is from moisture, then maybe not - though if it's airborne then the unit will pull it out of the air. Much winds up in the filters, and the rest on the carpet - but the air does get cleaned.Hope this helps.

No, it will tru and suck it up. Bright side is its not hard to clean the room a. Down side is you have to scoop the poop

No. You're supposed to use a cleaning solution diluted with water. The vac disperses the solution onto the carpet, scrubs it, and sucks it back up until the carpet is only slightly damp. There should be no reason to rinse since the mixed is sucked back into the machine into a separate tank for dirty water.

Well yes as you are spraying water and cleaning solution onto the carpet. It does extract the water back up very well. My carpets dry within an hour or two depending on the temperature/humidity.

I don't know all too much about different carpet types, but a little food for thought; if your wool carpet is shaggy or semi-long, just know this carpet cleaner has some major sucking power.

It does spray water out and then you suck it up with the dirt. If you are doing a small space it shouldn't be an issue but any water based cleaner will require some drying time.

Be careful. You could end up with a face full of raw sewage. Works well if connections are correct. Good luck

I guess it will, but the vac is heavy (for me) and you will have to work hard to clean your carpet out.

it should do the job, results depends on the cleaner you use, I use suds and it did a good job on my kitchen and bathroom tiles

Depends on how dirty your carpet is, I suppose. It has cleaned my moderately soiled carpet quite well. If you rebuilt an engine on your carpet, it may not give you terrific results. If your soil is from walking on it, then it works well.
