Testing methods and stain types

The review involved putting eight different models through a series of punishing tests. The machines were subjected to stains including coffee, curry, and red wine.

Performance on light carpets

Results indicate that no machine can completely remove a dollop of tikka masala paste in a single pass. Light-coloured carpet owners are advised not to eat curry over it if they want to avoid difficult stains.

Effort required for cleaning

Even the best machines require time, elbow grease, and persistence to restore a carpet to its original look. Users should clean up spills as quickly as possible because every second counts.
