We Love Clean

Gone are the days when deep cleaning your carpets was a job you had to put aside a whole day for, thanks to a new generation of carpet washers featuring technology designed to reduce washing and drying times.  With some heated cleaning carpet washers, for exmple the premimum range from Vax, heat generated by the machine is directed onto the floor, assisting both the cleaning and drying process. This means that carpets are ready to use again in just a few hours. Regular washing helps prolong carpet life by removing the ground-in dirt that can damage and flatten carpet fibres. It is also recommended for homes with allergy sufferers, as it also removes pollen, bacteria and dust mites, which live and breed deep in carpets and are common triggers of allergies such as asthma and hayfever.  All three models in the Vax heated cleaning range have rotating SpinScrub^TM brushes on the floor head that clean deep into the carpet on all sides of the fibres to loosen and lift embedded dirt, leaving carpet pile looking springy and renewed. They each have a handtool with the same SpinScrub^TM technology that fits to a flexible hose, for removing spots and stains, cleaning stairs and upholstery. In addition to washing carpets and upholstery they are also great for sucking up any accidental spills. The Vax V-123 Agility is a compact and manoeuvrable upright carpet washer, with a foldaway handle to make storage easy. It has CleanSurge^TM technology to release extra cleaning solution at the push of a button, for spot treating high traffic areas. Revolutionary Dual V^TM Air Path technology on the Vax V-124 Dual V delivers consistent suction across the width of the floor nozzle to reduce drying time. The Automix system mixes the cleaning solution and water for optimum cleaning results. The Dual V was awarded ‘Best Buy’ status in the September 2008 issue of Which? magazine. 

The Vax V-125 All Terrain offers the same great carpet cleaning performance as the Dual V but can also wash sealed hard floors. The hard floor mode offers a more hygienic method of washing hard floors than a traditional mop and bucket, leaving floors dry and your room ready to use again immediately. Its extra wide cleaning path makes it ideal for washing larger areas while the Auto-rinse button provides fast and easy rinsing.

If you want trustworthy buying advice then a good place to look is Which? magazine, with its independent reviews of everything from ice-cream makers to burglar alarms. The September 2008 issue focuses on carpet cleaning products with in-depth tests of a number of carpet washers, including the new Vax V-124 Dual V. As one of the highest scoring washers in the tests, the Dual V is recommended as a Which? ‘Best Buy’.

The tests cover sixteen domestic carpet washers that are scored on criteria such as tools and accessories, as well as cleaning and drying performance. According to Which?, their ‘Best Buy’ carpet washers “wash brilliantly and suck up a lot of the water used for cleaning, so your carpets dry quickly.”

Washing carpets effectively then having them dry again within just a few hours is a major advantage of the Dual V, which is one of the first of a new generation of Vax carpet washers with the following technologies:

• Dual V^TM Air Path

Delivers consistent suction across the width of the floor nozzle to suck up more dirty water.

• Heated Cleaning

Heat generated by the machine assists the cleaning process and speeds up drying time.

• SpinScrub^TM Brushes

Five rotating SpinScrub brushes on the floor head clean deep into the carpet pile to remove embedded dirt. A powered SpinScrub handtool attaches to the hose for the same great cleaning performance on stairs and upholstery.

The result is market leading cleaning and drying performance at a great price, making the Dual V a clear ‘Best Buy’.

Need To Wash Hard Floors Too?

Also in Vax’s new heated cleaning range, the V-125 All Terrain is scored highly in the Which? report, placed fourth out of sixteen. The All Terrain has the same features as the Dual V but also washes hard floors, so is ideal for households with a mixture of floor types.

Both the Dual V and All Terrain are supported by a 6-year parts and labour guarantee and a UK based helpline open 7 days a week. They are widely available through major retailers, but if you don’t want to spend time and money getting to the shops and back, you can buy your new washer online at the Vax website and have it delivered direct to your door.
