A cleaning device I recently tested out that left my carpets looking like new As Shark launches its early sale the Shark CarpetXpert HairPro Pet Deep Carpet Cleaner has a very tempting discount, taking the price

on my carpets that were looking a bit tired from dog-related wear and tear and was very impressed. Getting it out of the box it looks like a vacuum cleaner really just a bit heavier. It comes with five attachments for the StainStriker tube, plus a bottle of StainStriker & CarpetXpert cleaning formula.

Setup is fairly straightforward, with a good old instruction manual walking you through it, or if you’re tech-savvy it comes with a QR code you can scan to watch ‘how to’ videos. The tube is simple enough to attached while filling up the tanks is fairly self-explanatory - just be sure to put the right liquid in each compartment and plug it in then you’re good to go.

I was staggered, disgusted and amazed all in one when I first went to empty the dirty water tank. A giant clump of hair (I’ll spare you the picture as it’s a bit gross) had collected in the filter section surrounded by filthy water.

I vacuum the carpets regularly and was pretty mortified to discover how much dog hair was nestled in there, but equally impressed at how easily the Shark had whipped it out. This carried on each time I emptied the tank, and I couldn’t believe how much hair must have been lurking deep in the floor that even a powerful vacuum hadn’t been budging.

After a couple of times it got annoying, so I just disconnected it while using the main part of the machine, then put it back on when I wanted the StainStriker attachment.

The tank also isn’t the biggest, so don’t expect to do the whole house in one go, you do have to top it up with water and the cleaning solution quite frequently, as well as emptying the dirty water tank.
