Review Rug Doctor Mighty Pro Quick Dry Carpet Cleaning Machine / Rug Doctor 95306:The three keys to effective carpet cleaning are generally where department store models fail in comparison to Rug Doctor: INJECT - Getting enough cleaning solution (and the right cleaning solution) down into the carpet to loosen and suspend dirt. AGITATE - Very different from most machines which have rotary brushes and can have a matting effect, the back and forth motion of Rug Doctor's unique vibrating brush allows thorough cleaning of each fiber. The brush gets down in between the fibers to loosen dirt and grime. At the same time it helps raise the carpet nap to allow the vacuum a clear path to pull up the dirt and liquid. EXTRACT - Powerful vacuuming action is essential to effective cleaning, without it, dirt and excessive moisture are left behind. Rug Doctor has up to twice the power of leading department store carpet cleaning machines. Weight: 36 lbs. (15. 9 kg) Fill Coverage: 118 sq. ft.
