THE DEEPCLEANER Steam Cleans Your Carpet FASTER Cleans faster due to wider cleaning head and automatic operation, Dries faster because of high air volume. This means furniture is out of place less time. LONGER CARPET LIFE Actual removal rather than a rearrangement of dirt means no grit and grime to cause abrasive wear and shorten carpet life.
