RINSE your carpet thoroughly after shampooing. Just remove the small cleaning solution bottle. If you don’t rinse, you leave grubby water and shampoo in the carpet. Makes a great difference. I pop some fabric conditioner in the large water bottle for the final rinse. Only a bit. Teddy U.K. x
@@JTechWP Yes J Tech. Imagine washing your hair and not rinsing the shampoo out. Also, imagine washing clothes in a washer and not rinsing the dirty water out!!….same principle. Rinsing seems to make the carpet softer too. I put a capful of concentrated fabric conditioner in with the water for this final rinse, and it leaves a nice smell. It takes the carpet shampooing session longer to do with this extra “rinse”, but it’s well worth it. Teddy U.K. xx
@@Teddibere1 do you remove the shampoo solution out first and add a fragrance or softener in to the big main water tank or to the small one where you out shampoo
@@joshuaforletta7861 Hi Joshua. I now do NOT remove that small bottle (the one on the back of the machine) - I fill that small bottle with CLEAN WATER only. I do this so as not to damage the machine’s workings by not having the small bottle fixed on there. I put the fabric conditioner in the LARGE water tank on the front of the Vax machine, mixing it into a FULL TANK of very warm water. Works a treat!! I suppose you could also use a few drops of fragrance oil in the water, but I haven’t tried that YET…but if I do, I’ll let you know if it’s any good. I use the INTENSE fabric conditioner, as it has a stronger nice smell. Hope this makes sense. I would NEVER shampoo my carpet now without giving it a good rinsing with just clean water afterwards. When I do the “rinse” I am amazed at the still dirty water that comes out of the carpet into the bottom tank. I’ve even done TWO RINSES, the second rinse with the fabric conditioner. Is two rinses an over-the-top process?…I don’t think so, considering the dirty water that comes out (and my carpets are kept clean, so they are never grossly dirty). Yeah….it takes longer to do a carpet clean, but well worth it!! Teddy U.K.xx
@@Teddibere1 So just so ive got it right you never fill the small tank at back even with shampoo on the first run? Also why would this damaged the machine ?

very helpful comprehensive review - I'm ordering one in Vax Black Friday sale for £199 - including free steamer & pet tools. It is £185 on amazon but without the steamer & tools. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for your well presented tutorial, we purchased one the other day, after watching you demonstrate this vax platinum, I can't wait to get it running around the house, from the accessories it looks like a spot washer /floor combined. Thank you very much again... Happy cleaning 😊
Hi. I bought mine today (Easter discount). I have to say that your video is great, you explain everything clearly and simply, though I'm only just watching several hours after using the machine. I, like you, think that is very good. I'm pleased with the results (shocked at the dirt it pulled from the stairs) and agree that it is a very simple machine that anyone can use. I tried both the attachments and found the other one better for areas around the edges of the staircase. I can happily recommend it.
. The ‘instruction’ book my vax came with has no actual advice for putting the parts together or even using the machine! So thank you for your really clear instructions!! Great video.
@@JTechWP sorry I should have updated..my Mrs went back to the large deep rug..and started working properly..in fact she did the whole house and was very pleased with results 😀
Very clear and most helpful. Brill (ImIm not patient with written instructions) Thank you. One thing the shop recommended was to vaccum really well first: Just to protect the machine and keep it working for longer re debris.
Great help, thanks. There is a clip for the cable near the tops of the handle so you don’t need to bend down. Just about to clean our kitchen rug. Having 2 Labradors, I’m sure my OCD will click in when I look at the dirt, lifted
On my clear rinse after washing I add a bit of zoflora of softener just for that nice fresh smell but I love my carper cleaner I even have cream carpets now 😁
Absolutely correct!! You need to go real slow, to give the brushes time to rotate over the carpet fibres and slow in the backwards pull to get more water out. You need to go 1/4 speed less (at least) than when hoovering. The slower the better really, with all carpet cleaners. Teddy U.K. x
Great video…. I’ve only used mine once about a year ago.. took it out tonight and it isn’t dispensing water. Do you know if the spray bar can be removed? Here’s one screw holding it in, but doesn’t come away. I thought that might be clogged somehow. FYI… the hose attachment works fine. So I’m a bit lost…tia
Brilliant review buddy. This video might sway me towards the vax. I was thinking about the Bissell pet pro. I’ve owned two vax carpet cleaners over the years the older models have always leaked the clean water which irritates the life out of me. And the cleaning the brush bar area is a nightmare. I like the idea of been able to remove the brush bar completely.
I can honestly say it's the best purchase I've made in years. Doesn't leak, leaves carpets clean enough to walk on with socks or bare feet. Just make sure you clean thoroughly before putting away.
Thanks for a great review !! It's the bestmachine we've ever owned....I take your point about the cable getting in the way,think I'll use a cable tie to keep it high on the handle (more out of the way)
Just bought one to replace a Vax model I've had for 10 years. The cleaning on the new one is vastly superior, but the drying of the new one is rubbish compared to the old one. My carpets are still damp after 4 hours! It's sucking up the water fine, but there appears to be no heat to assist with the drying.
Just had to use one of these for a big coffee spill over carpet and a soft fabric dining chair... it works absurdly well, it's like the ads. Seriously I had no faith it could do what it just did, half an hour later and there's no evidence of black coffee stain.
Thank you for an amazing review. Would you say I need a spotwash as well or this vaccum is good enough with its accessories? I need to get stains out of sofas and stains from spillages.
i guess it depends on the amount of dirt in your carpet, if you do it every 6 months then it should be fine without a spot washer. You could try it with the vax first, get a spot washer if its not enough
Great tutorial its my first time buying an using one do i just use warm water cant i use cold water an after it all should i use normal water to rinse the carpet out
Thanks for the precise, clear instuctions....much appreciated. Just wondering, do you have to use vax products only in this cleaner or is there some cheaper alternative carpet cleaner/ solutions out there?
Great review. We bought one last week and it's a fantastic bit of kit. one thing that disappoints me us that the solution doesn't leave a nice fragrance afterwards. Have you tried anything other than the Vax cleaning liquid?
Do a RINSE on your carpet…..add ZOFLORA or fabric conditioner to your LARGE CLEAN WATER TANK - and use just plain water in your small solution tank on the back of the Vax. You may be AMAZED at how much dirty water comes out of your carpet when rinsing!!!. Please see my other comments on here about rinsing. Teddy U.K.
Video very helpful, but have you ay idea why it washes but no water dirty water goes into the tank? It worked the first time I tried it a few weeks ago ,but now even on dry only mode there is no water coming into the dirty water tank. So I have a wet carpet :( It's the same type of carpet as before. Thank you
Would you be able to let me know how much solution is used please? E.g. if the solution tank is filled, how many clean water tanks full will that do? Many thanks.
Id say 1 solution bottle = 2 water tanks of use, really depends on how fast or slow you go over the carpet. Washing the carpet every 6 months you can go over it faster, use less. First time wash go slower to deep clean.
I just tried my new vax platinum and all put together as explained but there is zero dirty water going into to dirt tank at all and the carpet is not very clean, it has used up all the water and some solution but not sucking up the dirty water? First use so no blockages at all?
Thank you and well done for your demonstration of the use of this carpet washer. The downside is that at times it tends to wet the carpet heavily and even when you select dry only mode and run it over the very wet portion several times, it still feels wet and damp... and boy oh boy, it uses a lot of electricity (or else I would have said "just keep running it over in dry mode until its completely dry") One other issue, I didn't notice even the slightest drop in the level of the antibacterial liquid in the solution bottle even though I washed a big lounge, a hallway and a bedroom. Is it normal not to notice a drop in the level OR should I have pressed the solution bottle much harder and firmly to the base. I'm always weary I'll break something if press too hard 😅
It should be using some solution as you wash the carpet. Check the solution bottle is properly connected, mine slots in and i didnt have to press very hard.
No…it’s NOT normal…the detergent level SHOULD, obviously, decrease as you go along with your Vax.. Carefully check the bottle is firmly pushed into its holder. Press the bottom button to check that liquid is coming out.
Really depends what the stain was made by. There is a squirty bottle with stain remover you can use before washing the carpet. The only way to find out would be try the carpet washer on the stain. Ive removed wine, mud, drinks stains with it.
did you find that the solution tank doesnt fully sit in flush? it seems to sit abit with a gap, i cant push it in all the way down....is that correct? thanks
Not many reviews of this carpet cleaner, nice review! Just one question, did you do a deep vacuum of the carpets before washing? might help with all the debris getting stuck in the rollers.
Yes….a really good carpet hoovering is essential before shampooing. You will still get a little debris pick up though. Make sure to check under the Vax regularly, to remove any debris that gathers there, as this impedes the machines’s efficiency. Teddy U.K.
Sounds about right….a tank per room, IF the rooms are large. One tank does 2 rooms in my house. Don’t forget to do a rinse (please see my previous comments on here). Teddy U.K.
Hair line crack in tank or hose 🤔 depending on where you see it coming out it could be behind the cover. You need to wipe with dry tissue and try and suss where you see the build up of liquid comming out. It maybe the rubber gasket not lining up one bottle container connects to cleaner. It's a matter of elimination
I was testing out HDR, some screens it looks okay and others it looks crazy. Just use Rec 709 for all current videos until I get the Flanders Scientific HDR monitor then go fully HDR. Back when I made this their weren't many good iPhone 12 HDR guides so just tried it.
Check the dirty water tank lid is fitted correctly, I spent 2 days wondering why it wasn't picking up before I realised that there are two plastic lugs that have to hook into the front of the tank.
why youtubers always use kind of this machines on a new carpet ? show us how to remove strong stains like fresh egg on the carpet or old tea stain etc. 66 month old barely dirty carpet ? i need to se how effectivly on a strong stains

Its still the best carpet washer ive used, springer spaniel muddy paw prints round the house, cleans them easily :)

Hi it doesnt seem to have any suction when I use on the sofa. Any ideas please 👍
try pushing the nozzle down harder to create a seal. It may be the material of the sofa, too much air getting through and then it can get suction

Smart telling people to hit the dislike twice. Lol. Anyway great review
Thanks, been thinking about doing a 1 year later review
why is my solution leaking out
Hair line crack in tank or hose 🤔 depending on where you see it coming out it could be behind the cover. You need to wipe with dry tissue and try and suss where you see the build up of liquid comming out. It maybe the rubber gasket not lining up one bottle container connects to cleaner. It's a matter of elimination
Check the container to see if there is any damage or cracks. Or O ring might need replacing. Check its connected properly
I find that the brushes on this unit are too stiff and aggressive that it chewed up my carpet in the area that I used it in
Oh no, hope your carpet is okay
@@JTechWP The carpet is ok on but I only use the Hoover with the spins scrub brushes as they are gentler on the carpet
My vax is not picking up dirty water ?
Did you connect the tanks properly ?
Dude, you know how to wash carpets, but you gotta fix your camera. There are videos for that, too.
I was testing out HDR, some screens it looks okay and others it looks crazy. Just use Rec 709 for all current videos until I get the Flanders Scientific HDR monitor then go fully HDR. Back when I made this their weren't many good iPhone 12 HDR guides so just tried it.
Why is it not taking the water in to the tank
Is the tank fitted correctly ? try pushing it a bit harder, if that doesnt work you may have a faulty carpet washer.
Check the dirty water tank lid is fitted correctly, I spent 2 days wondering why it wasn't picking up before I realised that there are two plastic lugs that have to hook into the front of the tank.
Make sure the dirty water tank level is not too much where the float stops it from overfilling. So empty regularly
