How do I know which type of carpet cleaner I need?

You should choose a carpet cleaner based on which type of carpet you have in your space. Indoor-outdoor carpet is low-cut and easy to clean so you won't need a cleaner with a lot of suction power, while something like a long-hair shag rug would require a carpet cleaner with a lot more water pressure and suction power. All carpet cleaners use high-powered water and cleaning solutions to lift and remove set-in stains.

What are the different types of carpet cleaner?

Carpet cleaners are available in different shapes and sizes and offer different cleaning strengths. Deep cleaning carpet cleaners are usually more on the bulky side and are used to clean industrial sizes areas. Upright cleaners are generally lighter and slimmer which makes them easier to use in your home and store in a closet when done. Portable cleaners are great for cleaning spots on upholstery or cleaning a mess made by your pets or children. Two-in-one carpet cleaners with vacuum capabilities are perfect for pre-cleaning the targeted area as will take up less space
