In all my years "cleaning and waxing" cars and more serious detailing in the past year, I have never used a machine on the interior. Yes, sprayed Folex on and brushed it in and blotted. On a relatively clean interior that works fine. Right now, I am on the proverbial "friends and family plan". That is, all the stuff (a LOT) I am buying on AG and elsewhere is my "tuition".
Given that I just bought a McCullough 1375 steamer (never used a steamer in my 67 years!) and a Bissell SpotClean Proheat. Neither top of the line, obviously, but good enough for now. Pulling the trigger on a Mytee Lite was too much even for this spendthrift. So... in order to shorten my learning curve what is the best utilization of these two carpet tools? I have a MetroVac which works better than any other vacuum in my experience (had two Dysons and now have a Shark. The latter rules). And I am qualified on a vacuum. The problem is the other tools.
Do you only use steam on a badly soiled carpet? Use the Bissell first and if it does not come clean, then use steam? If using steam, should you then use the Bissell to extract excess moisture? Please help this interior noob.
