Homeowners with children and pets are all too familiar with how quickly carpets can become worn and grubby. Particularly lighter coloured carpets, which reveal embedded dirt more readily, and no amount of hoovering will remove such stains.

One solution to this problem is investing in a carpet cleaner. These devices effectively extract the embedded dirt and grime, proving far more efficient than manually spot cleaning stains.

Currently, Amazon is offering an exclusive deal on Shark’s CarpetXpert Deep Clean Carpet Cleaner, now available for £179.99, reduced from £249.99 – a saving of £70. The device includes a built-in stain and spot remover attachment tool and some cleaning solution.

It also features a quick-drying function to dry carpets after they’ve been thoroughly cleaned. Shark claims that their device is eight times more effective at cleaning carpets than a standard vacuum cleaner.

The handheld spot remover attachment can be utilised to eliminate stubborn spots from rugs, carpets, stairs, sofas, upholstery, car interiors, and more. It also has a detachable water tank that collects all the dirty water, reports the Mirror.

However, there are a range of alternatives, including this CarpetXpert HairPro Pet Carpet Cleaner, now £179.99, was £279.99. This model is promoted as a professional deep carpet cleaner for homes with pets.

For those worried about storage space, a spot cleaner could be the answer as they are typically much smaller. The Vax Rapid Power Pro Upright Carpet Cleaner is available for £120 at Argos and includes a bottle of cleaning solution.

Regarding Shark’s CarpetXpert Deep Clean Carpet Cleaner, one Amazon purchaser awarded it five stars, stating: “Wow, what a machine! After my son had a few accidents in his bedroom, I never thought I would get the stains or the smell out, how I was wrong!”.

“This machine is absolutely fantastic. Not only are the stains and smells gone, but it’s left the carpet looking brand new. It’s easy to use and not too heavy. Left the carpet fresh and nearly dry wow wish I had gotten one ages ago.”

Another customer awarded it two stars, noting: “Needs bigger tank. Constantly having to empty and refill.”

A third buyer observed: “This product is fantastic! Super easy to use, it has made my carpets look brand new again! The suction is really good so it leaves the carpet almost fully dry, just slightly damp to touch. Would definitely recommend!”.

An extra purchaser adds: “I thought I’d give this little beauty a second review, as after almost a year it’s still working as well as the day it came. I’ve had a Rug Doctor and two Vax shampooers, and both died before this time.

“I’m 77 and can manage this with ease. It’s easy to use, lightweight, and I love it. Would recommend 100%.”
