Great video! But for future reference... this machine WILL REMOVE just about any carpet stain you have- it's just that when it comes to more stubborn stains, you have to use a different approach. Boil some hot water on the stove (in a pot that's large enough to drench your carpet stain), then pour the water directly onto the stain and add a little cleaning solution directly to the spot, then use a scrubbing brush to loosen up the stain from the carpet fibers before you go over it with the Rug Doctor as normal. Remember that the hotter your water is the cleaner your carpet will be, because heat makes it easier to remove the grit, grim & stains.

Happy to find yet another small cleaning channel like mine 💖 I was just looking for a review because I need to get my carpet done and it seems like the easiest way so thank you!

Thank you for posting this! I am getting ready to rent one of these and you answered all of my questions.

I just rented one of these the other day on 07/14/22 and it worked GREAT! Highly recommend. Two tips, though (1) when you unscrew the cover for the fresh water container on the machine bottle, the measuring cup device is attached on the inside of that cap. Fill that measuring device to the line, twice with the carpet cleaner solution and dump that into the water container AFTER you have already filled the container with water to the line on that container. Also, The hotter you get the water, the better the machine will work. So, you don't have to BOIL the water on your stove but, get it really, really hot, almost to boiling and fill your water bottle to the line with that really hot water. To fill the bottle to the line with really, really hot water, you will need 1.5 gallons of water. If you do this, the machine will work GREAT!

Thank you for posting this. I just brought one home yesterday and was very confused!

Oh wow ! I might need to do this for my carpets! Thanks for sharing 🤗

This looks so great, especially the attachment to do the stairs with as my stairs always get messy and stained. Thanks so much for reviewing it. We used to have a black lab and yes they shed so bad, labs are the best though! Have a wonderful weekend sweet friend 💕

I'm glad you did this review because it solidified the fact that I may need a professional clean FIRST and use this for upkeep and maintenance. Sorry your foot took a beating😘😘👍

Very helpful video! I just rented the same one in Publix and now I will try it on my carpet

Super helpful video. Thanks a lot.

Wow!!! The views!!! Nice!! ❤️❤️❤️

I rented one and I can't push it forward. I had to clean my rug by going backwards. I did take it apart & cleaned all the hair out of the wheels but that didn't help. Your carpet looks great! I wouldn't dare get a white carpet lol mine is grey. Thank you for your video!

great review! x

When you pass the carpet cleaner the carpet comes out dry or wet?

I own a carpet cleaning business, first thing you need to do is you need to pre-treat your carpet, the second thing you need to do is scrub the area where you pre-treat it. You need to let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before you run any machine over it and make sure you agitate your carpet meaning scrub the spot with the pre-treatment first, the solution that rug doctor gives you is not as strong as the high end industrial stuff, are use the big green by basil and are use the rug doctor but I do Not use their chemicals.

Yes I think I can see what went not as well....For the pet spots. You have to use a spray bottle and let that solution sink in. You need the clean hot water only the actual container. And you have to do it when you bring it back slowly on a pass. Then you can go back up and do it slowly again. Maybe only two or three passes on a spot. That has been the key in the other videos. And that matches the rug doctor website when they show you and explain how to get the best cleaning possible from their machines. And that might make a better and cleaner rug for you after all of this great work that you have done

Thank you That helps me a lot

Since i can't get down and scrub...im getting the oreck orbiter...to go over carpet...then some kind of extractor..

DAWN IS YOUR BEST FRIEND....always remember that keep a small dollar store spray bottle or whichever you like. always keep dawn dish detergent on hand even if the stain is older most of the time this works on a rug or clothes put some dawn in a spray bottle this way you can dispurse and even amount on the stain let it sit for a few seconds take some paper towels that are wet and rub it on the stain let it sit some more then take clean paper towels soak it up and i am saying this like just on the same day of shampooing your carpet it will come out ...if your not shampooing the carpet and you spilled something first soak up as much as you can with clean paper towels then spray it with dawn doesnt have to be a lot .. a lot goes a long way and let it sit and just keep rinsing with wet paper towels or a clean rag keep some old white tshirts as rags around and you can keep rinsing it but trust me it works or even a degreaser from the dollar store the clear bottle with the yellow stuff works too can remember the name when i think of it i will post it lol hope that helps .

I tried it las night and i can't seem to push it forward back and worth like you did. It just got stuck to push forward. I'll try it again today. Like your video...Thank you!

Thank u for the review

I didn’t know you could use on tile... do you think you need to do it trice?

We have pets and for years I ordered a cleaner from the Melalueca company. Their products are chemical free... but I recently discovered a way to make the cleaner myself and all it is - Tea Tree oil. So buy a spray bottle from Lowes or Walmart. Add probably half of the small tea tree oil and the rest water. I promise it removes pet stains. (we have 3 dogs) it also removed a Sharpie permanent marker from my carpet which was about the color of yours and red Popsicle. Give it a try!

Show us how to release the handle

If you ever update the video, I would suggest that you make sure you have all of your directions down pat for all of your devices ready to go so that the very last thing you do is put the very hot water solution and then you start cleaning up mediately. Especially if you have spot cleaned with the solution before hand. As you're doing a video your water is getting colder and colder. I don't know if it has a an affect on the cleanliness but I would guess that it might do such. And maybe in the future you might want to go on QVC for example and buy a rug doctor on May before payments are 5P by the time you add up a one day rental, and the cleaning solution and the attachment, and the hope you can get everything done in Exemouth of hours, it might be more economical for you and your home and your sanity. There is always a sanity factor at all the silliness that we do. Take care please thanks. Also, yours is the first video that says to go back-and-forth with the rug doctor. Maybe they have change the instructions over the years. But at one time you came out and then you came straight back and then you came back you did not go back-and-forth. So I will have to double check that. But I have this theory about whatever the hell works works just fine. Thanks

Just an FYI. The cap on the clean water tank is also a measuring cup.

Thank you!

Nice vídeo

it looks so cool def would want to try it on my carpets thanks for sharing (:

Oh Lordy. I have six cats. When I came back to my moms house in 2005 to care for her until she passed, the rugs were already from 1974. And that was 2005. So you can imagine what kind of shape they're in. So I use my rug doctor to clean the carpets and then I laid almost wall-to-wall area rugs on top. I would love to help wood underneath but that was out of my budget. But I went ahead and bought a rug doctor. To me it was worth the investment. So I'm curious to see how well your pet stains come out. It's either that or 'rug doctor the cats' themselves....

Luv da nails 😍

Thanks,gracias!!!

You didn’t peep that the lid for the clean water supply is actually a measuring cup as well so it’s easy to measure.

Just rented that one I like the other one that had a brush on a bar and really cleans the carpet fibers.

How long did it take for each room to dry

There is a measuring cup on the lid.

You should buy a Oreck floor scrubber with bonnets. You can scrub your carpets with it before you extract with something like a rug doctor carpet extractor. This what janitorial companies do when cleaning carpets. You do not need a truck mounted machine to do a professional job. Thanks

Thx

There is a spot cleaner edition of the rug doctor pro

Your set in stains put Dawn on them after you clean everything else. If you add this with La's totally awesome cleaner it's a yellow solution. I usually spray the spots get them good and saturated then add the Dawn. I let it sit for about 25 mins then scrub with a brush put just hotwater in the scrubber and out they come!

Good job on doing the carpet but you are not supposed to dump the dirty water into you're sink where you put your dishes pour it into the toilet...

I work for the company and I stand behind this product. Good job looks good. You did some things the hard way but hey we all have to learn one way or another lol that machine is not 80 pounds.somewhere around 18 or 24 pounds I’m not sure but that’s way closer.

You do know that the lid for the tank is a measuring cup right?

By the way, you did a great job. Just remember the hot water for next time. Also sometimes, there are stains on carpets, you can not get out.

howcome you didnt use the cup on the lid? lol.

Is it just me? Your carpet already looked clean. I haven’t had mine shampooed in over 5 years. We have mostly floors, but the bedrooms are carpet and they’re awful. The texture, etc. I vacuum with a Dyson daily. I have pet hair from dogs and cats, and 2 children who ruin the carpet with *slime* and spilled paint. We are ready to replace so I hesitate to spend on a professional, but was considering renting this since I can’t stand this carpet

Loving your channel. New friend here. Let's stay connected.

💜❤️ thank you

It is far wiser to not put the solution in with the hot water. Make a spray bottle and spray the carpet let it soak for about 10 minutes and then use the hot water to extract. Some people say throw it all together but you're putting a lot of solution down in and it's not extracting pure hot coming out. I'm sure it turned out well but I've watched about 15 of these video nails and I'm finding that the spray the carpet first and let it sit for 10 minutes or so makes it far wiser procedure to use. So let's see what happens I'm all excited now

U didn’t show the second step. With hold n clean. Sorry. U should show. What u pressing.

How do you release the liquid

I've been through 3 Bissell carpet cleaner they only last 6 months and then they die And I purchased a Hoover carpet cleaner they last for about 2 months and then they die This time I purchase a Rug Doctor hopefully I'll have better luck Bissell, Hoover work great at first But after a month they start showing signs of a slow death I'll never purchase another Hoover or Bissell carpet cleaner again

If you move it slow it will give you better results

Thanks for sharing..

I rented one. Put hot water and solution into water tank. Machine Has a minus symbol and a pause symbol. (No words off and on) Turned on the minus button which I assumed was power and machine turned on. Pushed it forward and back over the carpet and nothing happened. no water and solution came out - no dirty water tank filled. Watched he above u tube. No help. She Showed filling water tank then speeded up use over the carpet no help to me. Bringing it back to fred Meyer and calling a professional carpet cleaner.

I have Rug Doctor Flex Clean For Christmas

How mush was the rug doctor carpet clean how mush is it for 24 hours

Rip the carpet out & put in wood floors. It'll cost you a lot less in the long run. You already have what appears to be wood (or laminate) so why wouldn't you just do wood throughout.... Then you'll never have to shampoo again

If you want better results, give it a slow stroke

Unfortunately your going back and forth super fast good thing your carpet isn't that dirty no offense

Great video!!! Something about you just screams “THIS IS WHAT A GOOD WIFE LOOKS LIKE!!!!!” Your husband is lucky!!!
