With a large family, pets and lots of carpet, you’ll quickly discover that a carpet shampooer is a good addition to your cleaning arsenal. Unlike a vacuum that just sucks up debris and dirt from your carpets, a carpet washer uses detergent to scrub the carpets clean.

If you’ve never used a shampooer before, you’ll really notice a huge difference in the appearance and cleanliness of your carpets. In fact, most people with kids and pets can’t live without their carpet cleaner-vacuum combination.

We’re frequently asked by customers, “What can I use in my carpet shampooer?” and the answer is that most brands manufacture their own shampoos or detergents for their carpet shampoo cleaners. Some sell one detergent for all their models, while others sell different detergents for each model or even for particular types of stains and odours. If all of this sounds too confusing, just ask us and we’ll guide you in the right direction.

When you want to know what the best carpet shampooer is, it’s best to consider the brand of the carpet washer as well as its functionality and accessories.
