Vax Platinum SmartWash Pet-Design Carpet Cleaner with Pre-Treatment Wand

The Vax Platinum SmartWash Pet-Design is an upright carpet cleaning machine specifically engineered for deep cleaning carpets and tackling pet-related messes. It employs a triggerless design with Motion Sense Technology, which automatically dispenses cleaning solution and washes as you push the machine forward, then activates drying suction as you pull it back. This system aims to take the guesswork out of carpet cleaning, delivering a consistent clean. The machine is particularly noted for its integrated, quick-release pre-treatment wand, which allows you to spot-treat stubborn stains and odours before the main wash cycle. Key features include advanced Flexforce brush bars that agitate carpet fibres to lift deep-seated dirt, with Vax claiming the clean is seven times more effective than vacuuming alone. The unit has a 3.5-litre clean water tank and a 1.9-litre dirty water tank, with a safety cut-out to indicate when the latter is full. It includes a 'Dry Only' mode that uses warm air to help carpets dry in approximately one hour. For versatility, it comes with several attachments: a SpinScrub hand tool, a 2-in-1 Antimicrobial Wash Tool for carpets and upholstery, and the pre-treatment wand. The machine also incorporates antimicrobial protection on its tools and bristles to inhibit bacterial growth. This cleaner is ideally suited for busy households with pets, as it is designed to neutralise pet stains and odour-causing bacteria effectively. It is suitable for use on carpets, stairs, and upholstery like sofas. The 9-metre power cord and 2.5-metre hose provide a good reach for cleaning larger rooms without frequently changing sockets. With a manufacturer's 6-year guarantee, it is built as a durable solution for maintaining carpet hygiene and appearance in pet-friendly homes.
