There are many different brand names of carpet shampoo and sometimes it can be a bit difficult to know which one to choose. A carpet shampoo machine will be able to use pretty much any brand, so the question is, which brand to choose?
If you have a small child or children, or a pet, then it is important to choose a carpet shampoo that is safe and will not cause either your child or pets problems. Kirby Carpet Shampoo makes a particular carpet shampoo that is quite reasonably priced at only a bit over $10 that is advertised as being child and pet safe. They also make a few that are particularly for pet owners and will clear out any odors left by the pets on the carpet, giving you a clean and fresh smelling carpet.
For those who are not pet owners, or who do not have small children, simply choose something that has a nice smell and that is reasonably priced. If you are concerned about the environment then there are some earth friendly shampoos that are not only very affordable, but also eco-friendly, such as Nature’s Miracle shampoo and Earth Friendly Products shampoo. These are made from all natural ingredients and work just as well as shampoos that are not as eco-friendly.
If you need something that is heavier duty for an office or small shop then you will have to be prepared to spend a bit more than you would to shampoo a carpet at home. 3M and Rubbermaid both make heavy-duty shampoos that are specifically for public places, as these places collect a lot of grime, mud and dirt quickly and will need something heavy duty to get clean.
One important thing to keep in mind is that if you have a special carpet, such as an authentic Persian rug, a luxury carpet runner, or some other kind of expensive carpet, is to watch what kind of shampoo you use on it. Ideally, you should ask the retailer when buying an expensive carpet how it should be cleaned, as you would not want to run a carpet shampoo machine over it, only to have it be ruined from either the machine or the shampoo used. If you have already bought an expensive carpet and are not sure about how to clean it, you can still call the retailer who sold it to you and ask, or even search online for cleaning instructions.
