Kids are messy and thankfully, a smart (and probably now rich) inventor came up with the idea of carpet cleaners for home use. Oreck, known for their awesome vacuums, have taken the "home cleaner" idea and ran with it, creating the Oreck Rinse-a-Matic Steemer Ultra.
You can call the Ultra, Oreck's version 2.0 of carpet cleaners. Their first try was the "XLS700A Upright Vacuum" and considered a success with many home users. Oreck stepped up to the challenge of improving their "home run" and came out with the Rinse-a-Matic Steemer Ultra. It's easy to tell the difference between the two models: the new cleaner is blue and the older model is mauve (reddish brown).
Special Note: Though the name of the product has "Steemer" in it, this unit does not "steam", but rather use hot water to clean the carpet, hard surfaces and upholstery. Real steamers are to be used on hard surfaces only and can absolutely destroy carpeting.
My Personal Story
I have two kids, both under the age of three and a longhaired cat. We bought our current home a year ago and along with it, inherited a nasty carpet from the previous owner. Though we called in a local carpet cleaning service, it still looked dingy upon our move-in date. Funds were short, so we decided to live with the dirt.
Fast-forward to May of 2007, 8 months after moving in. The light tan carpet had turned a nice shade of grey and heavy traffic areas were heading towards "black". Considering that we had two rugrats crawling and playing on the carpet all day long, we made an executive decision: we needed a carpet cleaner.
