Does this work on small areas of carpet? I want to use it for my RV which is mostly tile.

I have not used it on carpet. However, it does have an attachment for carpet use.

This is a wonderful product. I use it on carpets, bare floors and tile with perfect results. Just place carpet glide attachment on when doing carpets and rugs. Hope this helps.

All it does is steam. It does not clean carpets. It sanitizes clean carpets.

Douglas, it absolutely does. There is a "carpet glide" attachment which snaps on in seconds to take care of carpet and keep the microfiber pad from dragging on the carpet pile. Snap it off to take care of the tile. The footprint of the steamer is about the size of a piece of copy paper, so it maneuvers easily in small areas.

Yes on low to medium thickness carpet rolls around fine. Same on hard surfaces like tile. Easy to move around and actually pretty quiet to move it around even on the tile.

I've only used it on carpet and upholstery, but I don't think it would work as well on tile.

Works best on smooth floors, i.e. hardwood, tile, etc. I've tried it on carpet and it doesn't move well.

Don't know. I have tile and some carpet. Does equally well with both. The key is to wash out the sponge frequently. Easy job.

It does not work on bare floors as well as on rugs - but I use it anyway in my kitchen- just have to run it back and forth a bit more on bare floors.

It works ok on hardwood floors, I definitely would not use it on carpet. We bought one; I have not been all that impressed with it on either surface.

We have several area rugs for which it works quite well. The only rugs I would avoid would be those with a lot of fringe or 'shag' type carpet. It is most effective on hardwood and tile floors.

Works best on hard surfaces. It will work ok on a short pile carpet....thick or shag...not so much

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!

Yes, I use it on Flor carpet tiles and it works well. However Flor carpets are not as squishy as traditional home carpet.

I don't have thick or shag carpet but my guess would be why not? It works well on other surfaces.

I wouldn't recommend it on tile/vinyl floors, I have never used it on them, but it does leave a bit of "spillover" when you go from carpet to vinyl floors & it doesn't seem to suck up this spillover very well. It might work good to scrub the floors, but you still might have to mop up some of the water/soap left behind.

I've only used it on carpet and it discolored it very slightly but I notice it. It is very effective if you have light carpets.

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

I have ceramic tiles, vinyl tiles and carpet. I should say it does a pretty good job on all area. However one pass is only a gimmick, something it take 2-3 pass to pick up everything you see on the floor. And from times to times the roller brush hit on some harder stuff, like a small piece of sand or rock, which will fly backward. But, generally I do like it's quite, light weight and auto cord retract function.

I have only used it on carpet. Didn't even know cleaning tile with it was an option.
