Saved the basement carpet from my angry cat

I have an 18 year old cat. He's angry, grumpy and very demanding of me. We often argue. It hurts my feelings but it has nothing to do with this carpet cleaner review. My cat, whether due to his advanced age or just being an irritable kid, tends to do his business on the basement carpet rather than in his room. Garbage can. Before purchasing the Scrub Elite cleaner, I simply sprayed on some "accident" carpet foam and then vacuumed it up. It did little to clean the carpet. Since nobody wants to adopt my cat, I needed a new approach. Sign in to Scrub Elite. When I first used this carpet cleaner I was blown away by its effectiveness. I can't even begin to describe how disgusting the dirty water tank was. This is an obvious homage to how much crap (no bad pun intended) this machine took off the ground. In deep cleaning mode, three passes were required over each section of carpet. After the third pass, the dirty water tank was a lot less gross and the carpet looked like new. Here's my typical recommendation for using the machine on dirty carpets: Set it for deep cleaning. First, slowly move forward to cover the path with the cleaning solution. Then release the mortar trigger and very slowly pull the machine back along the path. You will see the dirtiest water being sucked into the machine. Repeat this process at least once, maybe twice more. Then set the machine to rinse and repeat the process again. Wait for the carpet to dry and then admire your work. If I had to complain about this machine, it's a very small issue, but the vacuum uses up water from its reservoir very quickly. I have to fill it multiple times to clean the carpet in my 300 square foot basement. I have included a photo of my grumpy cat which is the only reason I bought this carpet cleaner.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
