With homeowners feeling the effects of the 'credit crunch' this summer, a carpet washer provides a simple and affordable alternative to buying a brand new carpet, or even a new home. Deep cleaning your carpets is a great way of revitalising and refreshing your whole home - without it costing the earth.
A carpet washer is also the perfect solution for those wishing to sell their home and want an easy way to brighten their carpets, to increase the chance of a sale. Although dry vacuuming removes the surface layer of dust and debris, embedded dirt gets trodden deep into the pile leaving carpets looking flat and lifeless. Washing your carpets removes deep down grime and neutralises odours, so carpets look visibly cleaner and smell fresher.

Vax carpet washers remove stains and suck up spills too, making them great for busy homes. Children with sticky hands or dirty shoes, as well as pets with muddy paws, can all take a heavy toll on the appearance of your carpets. If accidental spills are not cleaned up properly they can leave a sticky residue that attracts dirt and results in a stain. While washing helps to keep carpets visibly clean, it also provides a hygienic environment for any family, especially those with babies and children who spend a lot of time playing on carpets. Washing carpets helps to reduce common triggers of allergies, such as dust mites and pollen, making them a must-have for homes with allergy sufferers.

With prices ranging from just £99.99 up to £329.99, Vax offers a wide selection of carpet washers, including models with on-board tools for easy cleaning of stairs and upholstery, as well as the removal of stains and spots. For homes with a combination of floor types, there are models that can wash carpets and sealed hard floors too.

Vax's latest upright heated cleaners, the Dual V and All Terrain, feature revolutionary Dual V^TM Air Path technology that delivers consistent suction across the width of the floor nozzle. Combined with heated cleaning carpets are dry within just 1-2 hours, so your room is soon back in use. Both models also have a market leading 6-year guarantee.
