The Vax Rapid Power Carpet Washer is a heavy duty carpet washer, if you have some quality carpets that you wish to keep going for many years then the occasional deep clean with the Vapid Power will brill back years to their appearance. If you have halls and entrance areas which are carpeted and get heavy use then the Vax Rapid will pick up the inground dirt and grit. You wash your hair, your clothes why not your carpet? A very good product which is easier than hiring one from a DIY store.
