Shark Carpet Cleaners and Spot Cleaners FAQs
What is the difference between a spot cleaner and carpet cleaner?
Can carpet cleaners be used on upholstery?
How do I clean a carpet?
For best results, start by vacuuming thoroughly to remove loose dirt and debris before using a carpet cleaner. Then:
1. Fill your carpet cleaner
Fill your carpet cleaner with the recommended deep cleaning solution. Shark's Deep Clean formulas are designed specifically to work with Shark technology for best results.
2. Clean with slow, overlapping passes
Make slow, overlapping passes to give the brush roll and suction time to lift embedded dirt.
3. Treat tough stains
For tough stains, use the built-in StainStriker™ spot tool directly on the affected area. No premix needed.
4. Let carpets dry completely
Allow carpets to dry fully before walking on them. Shark's CarpetXpert™ technology is designed for ultra-fast dry times so you're not waiting long to get back to your day.
