    Default Put my nova carpet in the washing machine !

    just took the red carpet out of the washer, what a carry on it was to cram it in there, its came out nice and fresh and clean and saved me a load of hassle of scrubbing it and vaccuming it with the VAX, anyone done this before ?

    If not then its safe to say it works and the carpet is still intact !!

    Ive done them with the Jetwash before and that was good also but its more hard work, i think the washer was just as good.

    I had to put it in seperately, i have only just done the rear part so far I rolled it up then folded it twice and squeezed it in, it has saved me alot of time because where i would of normaly took ages getting every inch of the carpet by hand with a scrubbing brush, the washer has cleaned everything. I need to go over some marks by hand though that the washer didnt get out, but bleach seems to be working.

    The red carpet is up for sale soon if anyone is interested.

    I find vaxing carpets and seats is more satisfying especially when you seen how dirty the water was

    We've a small washing machine so wouldn't get Nova carpets in ours, I'd love to see the local launderette though when I brought a set in to be wash and dried on a service wash
