The Caretakers' Forum

Hi Guys,

Our trustee Carpet cleaner has given up...

It was only a vax but it did what we needed on the classroom mats etc. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a general carpet cleaner that might be a decent replacement and a slight upgrade too.

Cheers

This is the one we bought for spot cleaning.

It works well and doesn't need to be setup each time..

I bought a rug doctor pro after a tonne of reccomendations on here and oh my is it good..... Tbh you could go over our carpets twenty times and the water being extracted would still be brown but you can visibly see the dirt being extracted by the machine

I have a rug doctor pro. came with a nozzle attachment that goes into the back. good bit of kit.

Yes, my rug doctor pro was a great bit of kit.
I even used it to vacume up floods just using the suction when there were major leaks.

I once hired a beast of a carpet cleaner from a hire company, I also borrowed a Rug Doctor from another school, I preferred the Rug Doctor.

We had a smaller upright rug Doctor in my old school.

We have/had a bigger rug doctor at my new school,although apparently it keeps tripping out according to the other caretaker. Shall have to get round to looking at that....

we have a Rug Doctor too (blue one) along with the upholstery kit that plugs in the back. it uses a lot of water/cleaning fluid but works well. (it's also rather noisy though)

I have the rug doctor deep clean and its very good

Rug Doctors are good, not sure what model ours is but it is good.
