I'm looking to purchase a carpet cleaner/steamer and was wondering if any of you had one/used one you could recommend. I'm kind of looking at the Bissell & Hoover models, but haven't made up my mind completely.
I would actually worry more about powders than shampoo. Shampoo does not damage the carpet at all, but powders often times can act like an abrasive and actually cut through the carpet fibers. Over time this will wear the carpet out a lot quicker than it would have otherwise.SizzlininIN said:She said that shampooers are hard on a carpet.

I am simply saying that powders can act as an abrasive, but water and shampoo are not hard on a carpet at all. Water and shampoo might not always clean stains as well as you want (see my above posts), but they will not damage a carpet at all.
