subject: Does Such A Cleaner Really Exist [print this page] The Electrolux carpet shampooers are not made the way they used to be and the way you're probably picturing them. If you do some research you'll find that there are much better and more efficient Electrolux products on the market now that will make you forget about the traditional shampooers that are actually not very good at genuinely cleaning carpets and in fact, can make them more dirty.
Shampooing a carpet drives a high pressure foam into the fibers of your carpet and when this foam eventually dries, you vacuum it up and up comes the dirt from your carpet which dried to the foam. As good a concept as this may seem like, it's actually one that leaves behind a trail of sticky aftermath. This sticky substance which is left behind attracts all of the new dirt that comes along and creates a dirtier environment than what was there before.
Assuming that you're willing to let go of the old shampooing models of Electrolux, there are plenty of options out there that will surprise you due to their increased ability to clean in comparison to any traditional shampooer, regardless of the brand.
Most of the newer style carpet cleaners don't even use any kind of shampooing chemicals or agents. This is what makes the newer models so much better. Instead of using cleaning agents on surfaces where you, your family, and even pets will be spending time, you can achieve superior results just from using carpet steamers. A carpet steamer is very straight forward and simply uses water and heat to thoroughly clean your carpets. Because of the natural cleaning techniques that are used, a carpet steamer will drastically improve the way your carpets look, feel, and last- far exceeding any expectations you may have had with an Electrolux shampooer.
