The constant motion of Rug Doctor machines will treat your carpets with the utmost care, without a tangle in sight. If your shag pile carpet has spots and spills, these should be treated immediately.

It takes around two to four hours for carpets to dry after a Rug Doctor clean. However, this depends on ventilation to the room, whether the room is unheated and the outside temperature. The machine vacuums up about 80% of the water it dispenses on to the carpet.

Rug Doctor machines use an extremely powerful 1.9hp vacuum motor and excel at removing excess moisture from carpets. We recommend you only go over the same area once when carpet cleaning to avoid over saturating your carpets.

Don't use carpet cleaner or carpet shampoo on your rugs, as the chemicals may be too strong and damage the fibers. Instead, use a rug shampoo, like Bissell Pro Max Clean and Protect, as the cleaning solution.
