Am trying to find a good/effective AREA rug 8x10 cleaner-does this work on area rugs or only carpet

I see no reason why it wouldn't be fine on an area rug. it's a dry powder that you work into the rug, then vacuum out. However, I had to say I was underwhelmed by its ability to clean an admittedly abused carpet. I tried it on the recommendation of a carpet installer, and it's probably fine for regular use, but it "failed" me on badly stained carpet.

Yes, definitely yes. Just follow the manufacturers directions on the box! :-)

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!

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.

There is a Hoover brand cleaner that you can use. One for carpets and one for floors. I use Zep brand commercial carpet cleaner in mine that you can buy in a gallon size. I use the same dilution as what Hoover recommends. Filling the cleaner holder and topping off with water. I have had no issues and using the Zep cleaner and it has removed many tough stains.

The vacuum works best on hardwood and tile flooring. It's not as smooth and easy to vacuum on area rugs.It works but you have to use more effort when vacuuming the rug. It's still a great stick vacuum.

Sorry,didn't use it on rugs.I used it to clean mold off outside furniture. Worked great!

It works great. I have carpet and porcelain tile and area rugs. I have some fringe (short) on two rugs and it's fine with those, it doesn't get caught. It makes the transition to all heights without a problem. The rugs that slide around (without rubber bottom) it tends to push them out of the way.

I think it says on the container. I've used it twice on an 8X10 rug, and it does an amazingly good job. There's enough for at least one more application.

It works great on rugs of any size. Needs 2 coats to work well. My floors have not been scuffed up, so I guess it works as a anti-scuffer as well as being a non-slip rug product. I love this product but be sure to paint it on outside as the fumes and smell are bad until it dries. I also use it on the bottom of slippers I have knitted or crocheted as a non slip surface.

It works on my thin area rug, a little slower than on the hardwood floors, which is no problem! I imagine a thicker plusher rug may slow it down too much?

Its more of a spot cleaner., not a all over room cleaner. So the smaller the space the better if you want to do a whole room. The carpet does not exactly get "wet" more as damp. If done correctly the floor dries rather quickly. If your a little heavy on the water the floor can take quite a while to dry, but it also depends on the type of fabric.

I use the "Ultra Stop Non-Slip Indoor Rug Pad 8' x 8'; also bought on Amazon. It works very well.

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

I'm not impressed by it on carpets at all, just spent an hour with it and stain/spot lifter on a 2 square foot area by my back door trying to get rid of the "heavy traffic" look. Despite carpets being professionally cleaned less than a year ago and living alone it barely made a dent in it. I may try a Haan if I purchase one of these ever again, they seem to do better all around.

It does work to remove the superficial dirt on any kind of carpet. I tried it both ways and it looks fine, however, if you really want to clear off all the hair and are willing to get on your knees, try this 42192 (http://www.pelstat.com/brushes_esd_safe.html), something like this can be found at Target for under $3.

As a matter of fact just a week ago I cleaned my area rug which has a wood floorunderneath - it worked great.

These work great for small areas. Does a bang up job. However, for carpets, I would rent a rug doctor.
