The Uwant carpet and upholstery cleaner offers three modes, steam, hot water and cold water, with 18Kpa of suction to pull the solution back out. Steam is the mode most portable extractors skip, and it is what breaks down set-in protein stains from pets rather than just diluting them. Cold water mode matters for blood and some dye stains that heat will actually set. The machine handles carpet, area rugs, upholstery, car interiors and mattresses. At 18Kpa the extraction is strong for a portable, though drying time still depends on how saturated you make the fabric. Best fit: homes with pets or kids, car interior detailing, and anyone renting an extractor more than twice a year.

Frequently asked questions
When should I use cold water instead of hot?
Cold for blood and some dye-based stains, because heat sets those permanently. Hot and steam for grease, food and pet accidents.
How long does carpet take to dry after using it?
That depends on how saturated you make it. Doing a slower final dry pass with the trigger released pulls out more water and cuts drying time considerably.
Can I use it on a mattress?
Yes, it handles upholstery and mattresses. Use minimal solution and extra dry passes, since a mattress takes far longer to dry than carpet.
Does it need a special detergent?
Use a cleaner formulated for extraction machines. Regular carpet shampoo foams too much and can damage the pump.
