There is a variety of different types of carpet cleaners out on the market today. Choosing the best one is the most important decision that you can make as it should last you for a long time to come.   Vacuum Sized Extractors   The extractors targeted to the home are less bulky and not heavy. They work by scrubbing the carpet with a solution containing water and a detergent. After proper scrubbing, they vacuum the entire grime. The only disadvantage with them is that they are expensive and take lots of storage space. They have tanks, which contain the dirty solution.   Deep Cleaners   These are available for rental purposes also. They can be rented for about $20 a day. These machines are heavier and are usually used if your house is heavily carpeted. They are difficult to manoeuvre. In either case, you should look for the one that has brushes in good condition.    Scrubbing Carpet Cleaner   These carpet cleaners can be used for home. However, they do not have the vacuum power and they work on a simple mechanism. They sprinkle a moist powder on the carpet to which dirt is attached. A regular carpet cleaner then vacuums the dirt. These carpet cleaners are lighter than their extractor counterparts are. They are also easy to clean since you do not have to clean the dirty tanks or the hoses. However, they take the same storage space as the other uprights.   Steam Cleaner   These extremely good carpet cleaners use a combination of steam and cleaning solutions. Tiny steam particles are sprayed on the carpet and the brushes and hose attachments loosen the grime. Later this dirt is removed with ease.    There are varieties of different carpet cleaners available on the market. While some people buy them, some prefer to rent only when needed.
