Washing your carpets has never been easier, with the versatile Vax W90-RU-P Rapide Ultra 2 carpet and upholstery cleaner. Vax Rapide carpet cleaners are designed to be quick to use, easy to manoeuvre and as simple to operate as a regular dry vacuum cleaner. The Ultra 2 is the ultimate Rapide, combining ease of use with the very latest deep cleaning, quick drying technologies. It's tough on stains too, as it includes a pre-treatment kit that gets to work on stubborn spots and high traffic areas before you wash.The Rapide Ultra 2 has powerful Dual V suction technology that leaves your carpets touch dry in no time, so you can get on with your day. Powered jets pump solution deep into carpet fibres and rotating brushes lift out the dirt and stains that you can see, plus the embedded dirt, allergens and odours that you can't.Why wash your carpets?Dirt and dust gets trapped deep down in your carpet's pile, beyond the reach of your dry vacuum cleaner. Even if you vacuum daily, your carpet will start to show signs of wear as this trapped dirt gets trodden in, damaging and flattening the fibres. While your dry vacuum cleaner is powerless to remove this embedded dirt, regular washing helps to lift it away, leaving carpets clean and fresh so they stay looking at their best. Washing brightens the colour, removes odours and refreshes the pile so your carpets look and feel like new again. So if your carpet is looking dull, worn or stained, rather than buying a new one or calling in professional cleaners, give it a new lease of life with the Rapide Ultra 2 instead. As it helps to remove pollen and dust mites, it's also a great choice if you or your family suffer from hayfever, asthma and other allergies.Easy to use and versatile The Rapide Ultra 2 is also handy for sucking up the accidental spills that inevitably happen around your home, before they become a problem. This makes it ideal for busy family homes with kids and pets, where muddy shoes, paw prints and spilt drinks can quickly take their toll on your carpets. The wash tool is perfect for refreshing stairs, upholstery and car interiors. It can even be used for those small accidental spills.
Use the wash tool for stairs, upholstery and car interiors.
Tough on stubborn stainsIf your carpet has stubborn spots and stains, use the Rapide Ultra 2's pre-treatment kit to break down dirt before you wash. Simply use the wand to apply the pre-treatment solution to the affected areas, leave for around 15 minutes and wash as normal.

Costumer Critiques
When I received the Vax Rapide Ultra two I was amazed at the size of the box, upon opening it became clear that the machine was fairly a large machine, taking up most of the box! Nonetheless when out although it was really heavy it did look powerful. The instruction leaflet was short, with images rather than written instructions. A couple of more words would have been beneficial! I had to look at the photos showing elements of the machine in use to function out exactly where anything went as the "set-up" photos only showed how to attach the handle and the Wand.
The machine is then ready to go! Measure the cleaning remedy and add the needed quantity of water. It would have helped to have a modest "measure" included, my jugs did not have the necessary scale, eg you need to have 40ml of resolution and my jugs measure in 50ml intervals. Also mainly because of shape of tank for the answer it will not stand on its personal, so fill it over a sink!
Cleaning the carpets was extremely effortless! Push forward activating the remedy switch, I released the switch just before I came to the end of the push forward stroke, and pull back to suck up. This technique of cleaning is extremely hassle-free, size of machine tends to make it hard to get into tiny/tight spaces, but for this I made use of the hose and hand held nozzle. This functions on the exact same principle immediately after you have attached the hose (especially easy to do when you have identified the relevant image), Squeeze trigger on forward movement - a word of warning: the liquid is sprayed in a sideways pattern from just behind the head of the nozzle, for employing on the stairs I angled the nozzle at about 45ยบ to get the most powerful coverage on every step - pull the nozzle back and you can see the water getting sucked up, in truth I went back over locations exactly where I had utilized a lot of resolution on the major carpets and sucked added liquid up employing the hand held nozzle.
The carpets were beautiful and clean, and the pile rejuvenated, even my husband observed! Also they had been virtually dry straight away. Two hours after cleaning I had anything back in location.
The pre-treatment wand seemed to me to bit over the leading, but I haven't got any certainly dirty bits, if I get stains on my carpets I clean them as they occur, and the major machine coped brilliantly with the most important traffic places with no the will need for pre-therapy. If you inherit a pretty dirty carpet of 1 with substantial areas of staining then this attachment would come into its own.
Removing the dirty water chamber is quite simple, a bit fiddly to get it completely rinsed clean. Removing and replacing the tank for the cleaning solution is once more extremely straight forward to do, rinsing clean is highly simple.
Cable length is fine, but winding cable onto machine is time consuming simply because there is a lot to get into a little space. The hose could have been two actions longer! It would then have reached all the way to the top of my staircase, but then I guess it would have been tougher to shop.
Just over 3 years ago we bought a plain beige carpet for the living room, and it's got a pretty dirty in the most important location exactly where we walk, (looks a lot more like dark grey in some areas). :-(
Besides the household and our dog the carpet gets walked on a lot by my pupils, (I'm a private teacher), and some don't always use the doormat when they walk on, (especially when it really is raining), so their shoes have left dirt marks.
Last year we did acquire an upright "Vax Rapide carpet washer deluxe", we truly hoped that this would do all it said, but it didn't and we nonetheless had one particular very mucky beige carpet, we were thinking of obtaining a new carpet just before Christmas given that it just wouldn't come clean whatever we did. :-(
So when I saw the critiques for the "W90-RU-P Rapide Ultra Pre Remedy Upright Carpet and Upholstery Washer" and how nicely it had accomplished for other individuals I thought we'd give it a whirl!
It's tremendously quick to assemble, (not like the other Vax I mentioned). With having such challenging to clean patches we thought we'd leave the pre treatment on a different five to 10 minutes longer then what it said to give it more opportunity to work.
Oh boy, this Vax it really is a dream to use and the pre treatment lifted all the dirt from the carpet, we are soooooooooooooooooo pleased and relieved. It really is given our carpet a new lease of life and we lastly have our beige colour back. :-)
With it now getting October and the climate being a little damper we had been bothered about how quick the carpet would dry out. To our surprise it only felt slightly damp as the Vax sucks up most of the water it really is utilised, this meant our carpet was fully dry inside 24hrs. :-)
This Vax does every thing it promises, it really is nicely worth each penny and I can very suggest it. :-)
