Severus, There are a few things that will void your warranty. Not using the so-called "Steam" cleaning which is really hot water and chemical is not going to void the warranty.It also depends on the manufacturer. It is stated to not to have a silicone based anti soil solution put on your carpet. Scotch Gard that has been put on later will keep you from getting dirt out of the carpet. As far as Baneclene, they are fine people. I met them when we went to seminars on spot and stain removal from the leading expert in 1975. At that time the expert told my father and I when we asked what the best process to clean was away from the rest of the carpet cleaners. He said for professional cleaning use- Von Schrader dry foam-vacuum extraction and for do it your self - Electrolux floor shampooer system. He couldn't say anything in front of the audience because he was to push his company's hot water unit. At that time we were using both units and were very sucessful with them. The Aerus( formerly Electrolux) Floor Pro is the same fantastic unit just improved thru the years. Von Schrader is still around too. If you have Wool blend or wool as well as cotton rugs hot water extraction is out. Procare
Merry Christmas Procare.
I've found hot water shrinks the fibers on cotton and wool rugs. Carmine D.

I concur with the praise of the Aerus/Lux Floorpro. If you desire a superlative cleansing of your carpets, I highly recommend picking up/rinsing with a Hoover Steam vac using white vinegar in water, totally breaks up any soap residue and acts as a defoamer. squeaky clean! I have also used a Kirby shampooer and followed with the Hoover steam vac with excellent results
Hi Trebor
I also have tried it the way you mentioned...with both machines...and the results were excellent. Well worth the time and effort. turtle

The Royal has been great for us almost no issues
Just wanted to add my kudos for the Royal Procision 7910. Works greats. I like the two scrubber bars instead of the floating heads on the others. It has two suction locations..before and aft..the brushes/liquid dispenser. Soap and water are dispensed separatedly so I can rinse or use soap. It is very stingy with the soap. Don't know if it is too stingy. However, we have old carpets and have always had an animal in the house. Cleans carpets great. They look like new. I bought a carpet cleaner to use on the older carpet because I wanted complete control over how much water and soap went into the carpet. 3 yr warranty. Very pleased.......so far. (NO. don't work for them. I'm in an auto related business.)
