right fellers and ladies we all hate stairs well I do Im thinking could I use a http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DIRECT-POWER-POLISHER-BUFFER-/300568038762?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item45fb404d6a#ht_500wt_1156 to agitate the pre spray then extract as normal its just im getting the right hump with black sock fibres on cream carpets just an idea so dont shoot me down to hard what do you think?  

[M.Acorn]

Had one of those for my car,in honesty they were crap at the job they are designed for,so I dread to think what it would be like on something like carpet,got the cord for the bonnet caught up in the spindle,and it burnt the motor out,have since brought a very expensive multi speed polisher / sander 180mm ,but still wouldn't use it on carpets

Might also start to chuck the water or pre spray you have put down ie flying on the walls near the stairs etc mate..

Totally unsuitable!  Too fast and if you lean on it hard you'll probably burn it out.  Plus you haven't got the right attachments for carpets/upholstery.

Get yourself a Texatherm Minitex, or the Ashbys equivalent.

Or a good quality cordless drill (with handle) some microfibre pads and a velcro backed drill adapter.
Been using mine for about 6 months on stairs & upholstery.

Well it oscillates and not rotates so what has too fast got to do with it??
it would work just as well as a terry for wiping so what is the harm in giving it a go?

[Ian Gourlay]

Ive got a similiar one but even on car I find pad cpmes pff, as I am ompatient I did not try very hard and put it back in shed.

I need to clean my stars so will give it a go, but as others have said could be too fast


Might try drill idea also

Why not experiment.

A decent pet hair remover with metal needles is the best for sock bits mate. Mark

Thanks for that everyone

Ian, can you let me know how you get on please

Mark, I will give that a try  cheers

I use it for LM cleaning stairs, and it works very very well, depending on what pre-spray you use, I generally use M power or Solutions HD with fusion clean or HD on the pad.
