Eight carpet cleaners tested on coffee, curry and red wine stains
A reviewer has tested eight carpet cleaner models in the UK using coffee, curry, and red wine to evaluate their performance.

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.
