Kirby Shampooer System



Mine works; but it's not an extractor
My system was a freebie when I purchased my 2012 Sentria. I used both the portable sprayer and the carpet shampooer.

First the sprayer. Worked fairly well on a sofa I was give to me from a family that has 9 children so you can imagine the condition it was in. If I had treated the stains first it would have helped. The sprayer generated lots of foam; the only issue was the foam rolled off the back of the sofa and onto the seat cushion. Perhaps if I had adjusted the sprayer of water to shampoo mixture it my alleviate that.

Second the floor unit. It generated lots of foam too but most people are use to an extractor which is best at cleaning carpets. My carpet was a lost cause as I have/had three dogs and you can imagine how dirty the carpet is. So I didn't have high expectations. I was just happy to have it look a little bit cleaner and smell much better.

Next I'm going to tackle the back of my Volvo V70 (station wagon) where the dogs ride. My Australian...

Perfect
The system was cheap, had everything included, and if you DONT follow the directions and use a little common sense when using this system... it will make the worst spots (as in almost solid black on off white carpets) all but completely disappear. Now that my room mate is gone and I got this in the mail my house looks and smells great again. Thank you.

Great bonus for my bargin find of a Kirby Vacuum!
I bought a Kirby Vacuum and was disappointed that it didn't have a carpet shampooer but I got it at a really good price. I checked out Amazon for help in locating one. Amazon came through again. I got a really good product from a very helpful seller and added information about the vacuum itself. I have used it before I reviewed it here and it is well worth the money and my rugs couldn't look better. I highly recommend Amazon for finding quality parts and sellers.
