Hi Tilly
I am very pleased with the Vax V-028PET Rapide PowerJet Pet carpet cleaner and the results.
I did clean one or two areas with the pre soaking/cleaning fluid supplied with the cleaner as it said it was best to do this on ingrained dirt.

I vacummed the carpets twice before I cleaned them as both our cats have white fluffy fur coats. Every day there is a handful of fur and if left it would build up turning the carpets white.
The water used was almost the same amount sucked back up apart from it being almost black!
The carpets were touch dry within 12 hours and fully dry after 24 hours.
Now my family and friends know I have a carpet cleaner many are asking to borrow it!
