It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

we use an extraction machine. or an 11" rotary if HSE arent looking  ;)

Have also had good success with Chemspec Spotting Pads (little square bonnets) and cheap orbital sanders.

Biggest problem with hand held kit I have found is you burn em out by putting too much weight on them.

Mike Halliday posted an advert for a mini " whacker " which could actually be a very good idea used with towelling. I imported a machine years ago from the US which worked on the same principle but chucked it out as it was too light for general carpet cleaning.

I missed one of these on here recently Jason and I reckon it might have allowed me to keep working for a couple of more years doing just upholstery / rugs.

Hate to admit it but I'm struggling to do more than one smallish job per day and I thought that machine would have been ideal.
