I have an older light colored wall to wall carpet with many spots and stains. It’s a real pain to treat the spots by hand. I’ve considered renting the "steam cleaners" from the grocery store or purchasing a hand held "carpet extractor". They both work the same way, spraying steaming hot water and detergent into the rug, then vacuuming it up along with the dirt or stain.
If you’ve used one of these – or both – please give me the benefit of your advice. How well do they clean mud and food spots, how easy are they to use, and how wet do they leave the carpet? Thanks!

I just began my own Mobile Auto Wash and Detailing buisness … got the work van with the power washer, big water tank, generator, shop vac, all that, to clean up and detail vehicles on the spot at peoples houses or at their work, and some car lots. Now the question is, I got this Bissell Little Green Machine Steam Vac that I use to clean carpets in vehicles, but I need some ideas on, how can I get hot water to put into machine to use if I’m mobile and on-site at a job? I got the water, but need hot water to mix with cleaning solution! Don’t think it’ll work the same if I’m using cold or regular temp. water, right? And I can’t just ask whatever business place I’m at or anybody "uh, mind if I use your hot water? durrrr! " I have a power generator in my work van also if that’s any helpful. All I can come up with is to get one of those hot pots and plug it up and put some water in it to get hot, but that’s kinda ghetto! Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I saw this mult-surface steam vac that could be used on both tile and carpet. I thought the brand was bissell but have been unable to find it. I believe it had about 6 orange rotating heads on it. That show it cleaning some spilled red juice on white tile among other things.
Actually it’s a steam vac for carpet cleaning and tile cleaning it uses hot water and solution.

I have a Dirt Devil steam cleaner and don’t want to use any type of soap or detergent and no product with soap or detergent. However, sometimes I need more than just hot water. Has anyone ever used baking soda with the water or white vinegar? Is there any reason to think it will hurt the machine? It’s not really a steamer, you just fill the plastic tank with hot tap water. Thank you!

I want to buy a steam cleaner for my carpet. I have pets and we have the occasional accident or tracking in of mud, plus I’ve got soda stains, etc. I don’t expect to be able to get all of the stains out but I do want to get my carpet nice and clean as possible. I am willing to invest more money for a better machine. What is the best steam cleaner on the market? Any suggestions?
Okay, then what is the best hot water extaction machine?
