[FLAME ENVY]

The truck mounted equipment that a professional uses is far more powerful than any machine you can purchase or rent. If you want to effectively clean carpet the high pressure, hot water extraction method that a professional truck mount utilizes is the way to go. An upright portable cleaner (Hoover, Bissell, etc) is great for quick clean ups of pet, child or adult accidents. Not great for an entire home. They generally leave far too much moisture and residue at the fibre base as they simply do not have enough suction to get it out.


Stay away from any company who uses the "Chem-Dry" cleaning method, it's a farce and does not clean well and will also leave splatter all over your walls from the rotating bonnet.
