I am looking for a carpet cleaner machine, but it is ok if works for upholstery as well. I think some of them are also advertised as Steam Cleaner.

The company I see most people recommending, Bissell, is from the USA, and so are most of the other companies I see around except 2:

  • Noma
  • Dupray

But I cannot find much information on their products online, or reviews of their quality. Noma does not list their product on their website. It appears that none is made in Canada.

Do you have any recommendation on carpet cleaner machine, or where to buy them?

Thank you very much.

      Ceramic floor tiles should be fine too.

      I like vinyl “tiles” for their ease of installation, nice feel and being waterproof, but I don’t know how good they are for high traffic areas and there’s the question about microplaatics. Perhaps microplaa aren’t a significant problem with them. I installed some in a bathroom and they worked great but there isn’t much wear and tear there.

      If you have old parquet floor, that can be refinished to an amazing look and feel. And after all, it’s hardwood.

        I like ceramic tiles in places that will be wet a lot, like washrooms and kitchens.

        The previous place I lived had vinyl tiles, I liked the feel, but they lost colour in high traffic areas quite fast, like in the living room, or under office chairs with casters.

        Parquet floor might be my favourite, I remember when I was a child, we moved to a place and my parents removed the old carpet just to reveal this beautiful pattern underneath.

        Sadly, here, I lifted a corner of the carpet, and it seems to be some sort of concrete slab underneath.
