It just wipes the carpet surface, this method does not remove germs or dust mites and is not effective at removing grime and stains
Dry Absorbent Powder
(Not recommended)
A moist absorbent powder is spread throughout your carpet allowed to dry. The powder is then sucked up using a vacuum cleaner, similar to shake-n-vac, except this method leaves dry sponge particles at the base of the yarn it does not remove germs or dust mites and is not effective at removing grime and stains
Portable Electric Machines
(Not recommended)
These low powered machines are plugged into your electric socket, they don’t generate heat so the clean is done with lukewarm water from your tap, the suction is very weak so your carpets stay wet for days, the waste water it creates is usually disposed down your sink or toilet. These machines can be rented from your local hire shop and are similar to the ones that are sold in the high street, does not remove germs or dust mites and is not very effective at removing grime and stains
