Vacuums You Need for Messes
Summertime is in full swing, and with summer comes unique messes. Chances are you’ve already encountered these common nemeses to carpets everywhere. Here are our top picks to get your carpets and hard floors looking their best!
Best Vacuums for Sand
Summer usually means more time at the beach or the lake… but that doesn’t bode well for carpets. Beach sand is fine and tough to pick up, so you need a powerful vacuum. We recommend the Power Team Perfect Plastic Canister Vacuum for use on carpet, and the Miele Complete C3 Kona Canister Vacuum Cleaner for hard floors.
If you’re looking for a robot vacuum for sand, because who has time to vacuum when you’re soaking up the sun, we recommend the Miele Scout RX-2 Home Vision. A good all-in-one vacuum is the SEBO AIRBELT K3 Premium Canister.
Looking for something to get the sand out of your car upholstery? Try the Hoover Dust Chaser Cordless Handheld Vacuum - it has powerful suction and easy-to-replace batteries.
Best Vacuums for Popsicle Messes
Popsicle messes are an inevitable part of life if you’ve got kids during the summertime, whether they’re your own kids or family members that are visiting. Everyone dreads the inevitable blue, green, or red streaks that can stain your plush carpets - but with these powerful cleaning machines, your summer woes are over.
We recommend the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Vacuum or the Bissell CrossWave Multi-Surface Cleaner as the two best vacuums overall, and the Hoover SmartWash Pet Automatic Carpet Cleaner as the best value carpet cleaner.
If you’re looking for a handheld carpet cleaner, the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Cordless Portable Carpet Cleaner is a fantastic choice.
Have a mess that’s just too big? Choose the RugDoctor Mighty Pro X3 Carpet Cleaner to buy or rent and really knock out the mess!
Best Vacuums for Soggy Carpets
Maybe you haven’t been taking trips to the beach, because you’ve got your very own backyard pool. If that’s the case, chances are you’ve got a soggy carpet! If your kids, or pets, or fully-grown adults drip water all over the carpet, these are the vacuums for you!
The EDIC FloodBuster Flood Pumper is great for commercial and industrial use, so it can stand up to any job you throw at it. If you’re looking for a more lightweight solution check out the IPC Eagle SC4 Carpet Extractor.
You can also use the Ground Command Air Mover tosignificantly reduce the drying time of surfaces.
Whether it’s sand, sticky popsicle messes, or soggy carpeting - summer doesn’t stand a chance against these powerful clean machines!
