Carpet is a particular type of surface able to absorb all kinds of dirt and dust, so its cleaning becomes imperative.
However, the classic method of cleaning it with soap and water is not suitable; you need to use a special machine, a carpet cleaner. With this particular tool, it is possible to perform a thorough and effective cleaning in complete autonomy.
As mentioned above, carpet cleaners are machines designed for thorough cleaning of fabrics. In order to do this, it is used a mixture of water and detergent, which is connected to a specific pump, also able to spray the product outside if necessary.
This water and detergent solution is able to dissolve dirt, which is immediately sucked up by the carpet cleaner.
Usually, the carpet cleaner's structure consists of a collection drum, which is the central part of the machine, and a series of accessories for cleaning several kinds of surfaces.
As for the hobby models, electric motors release a power that hardly exceeds 1500 watts; this figure indicates the maximum suction power of the motor, a power that is more than adequate to clean domestic surfaces.
The collection capacity of the drum varies according to requirements and the category of use. For hobbyist carpet cleaners, drums can range from a capacity of 15 litres up to even 60 litres.
