You can use a steam cleaner for carpet with a carpet glider. That way, you can smoothly move the appliance over the fabric. The steam loosens dirt, kills 99.99% of bacteria, and removes nasty odors. You can also use a carpet steam cleaner for your rugs. After use, you can dab your rug or carpet dry with a clean cloth. Before you choose a steam cleaner for your rug, keep the size of the water tank in mind. That way, you can clean your entire rug or carpet without refilling it.
