is probably a better buy.

Hey guys, just curious - why not buy a potent spot cleaning solution or aerosol, and simply douse or saturate the car's interior carpet depending on the soil/dirt/stain levels, let it soak in, then agitate it thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush working the fibers and releasing the dirt, and the use a high powered shop-vac to extract the suds and grime?
Seems like a super cheap alternative... although, now that I'm thinking about it, there would be something missing if there wasn't an effective way to treat the carpet also with hot water to break up the soapy residue before extracting. Perhaps just a spritz of hot water, and a double vacuum? Thoughts?

I was looking at buying the Hoover Platinum Carpet Cleaner, because it can also be used at home as a traditional stand up, and the YouTube reviews and videos were very encouraging and positive. Sure, it's $350 once you factor in shipping, but it has a nice 6 year warranty, and it has a great assortment of hand tools and as I said, it can handle both tasks: customer's cars, and the humble abode!  | |

Grr. | A hisself proheat will only run you about a 100 bucks. They key is getting a pro heat not just a little green machine. I used my aunts yesterday and for a 100 dollars it's a good carpet extractor and heated the water well I'm going to post pics when I use mine

Thanks man, I would love to see pictures. I do like the heating ability, but my water is already skin-melting hot at home, so unless it has a coal furnace in it, it almost seems like it would be cooling it to a certain temperature that the machine can handle. The Tornador air-compressor cleaner looks really cool by the way, but again, for $100 the Bissell seems to be a no-brainer until the income stream proliferates and I can invest in a pro-level carpet extractor.

Here's a pic of my carpet before and after with the bissell. Only problem is it does get it pretty wet. But for $80 can't complain.  | |
