Cleaning carpets can be stressful. Will the stain come out? What day can we pick to be out of the house while they’re cleaned and still give it time to dry? How harmful are the chemicals used? These questions are especially relevant if you’ve got young children or pets.
With the addition of these cleaners to the market, you can rest a little easier knowing that they’re not as harmful and full of chemicals as they used to be and not all cleaners need hours to dry.
To assist you, we have put together a list of the best carpet cleaning products.

A cleaner specifically designed to take care of heavy grease and soil stains. Because of the stains and spots it removes, it must be diluted in hot water for the best results and instant action on tough grease stains.

3. Eco POG Spotter
Finally, a product that is a non-toxic solution for spots and stains. This organic, eco-friendly spot remover removes all kinds of solvent stains caused by pets, children, hobbies and other stains caused by regular life activities. The unique thing about this cleaner is that it is vegetable-based and biodegradable, yielding a spot cleaner that isn’t dangerous to humans when using it and isn’t flammable. While this cleaner can be used on fibers, carpets and fabrics, it should be tested in an area that isn’t visible because it can strip color from some surfaces or fibers.
Price: £15.88
Quantity: 500 ml
Main Features:
- bio based
- water rinsable
- non toxic
4. Micro Spotter
This versatile product is useful on an array of stains in fibers. It can be used on all synthetic fibers and fabrics but should be tested on an area of material not visible. This product is classified as a product of microsplitting technology which describes the way that the product works once applied to the stain. With microsplitting technology, the solution once applied to the stain, breaks down the bond between fibers and the dirt causing the stain without additives like enzymes or harmful detergents. Because this is a microsplitting solution, it can be applied to surfaces, left and rinsed once; it doesn’t need to be rinsed multiple times.
Price: £28.04
Quantity: 5 l
Main Features:
- no dwell time required
- odourless
- good for all fabrics
5. Protect Nano
A very unique cleaner in that it not only cleans carpets and other fabrics but coats the fabric with oil and water repellant coating. This cleaner is a treatment and protective solution to apply to fabrics once soiled. Amazingly, once applied to the fabric, this UV-blocking, yet breathable, coating on the fabric protects the fabric but doesn’t alter the feel of the fabric. This can also be applied on fabrics that already have other coatings on them for industrial purposes without destroying the other coatings. Since it is a more intense cleaner, it should be applied with a cleaning machine, under pressure.
Price: £38
Quantity: 5 l
Main Features:
- oil and water repellency effect
- also good for upholstery
- fibre’s look does not change
6. M-Power
Manufactured in the UK, this cleaner is the new major development in eco-friendly carpet cleaning solution in that it surpasses or equals standards put on cleaning chemicals. It contains no harsh chemicals, no animal by-products, phosphates or harmful additives. M-Power is created from biodegradable, renewable resources. Because the ingredients are all natural, it is non-toxic and non-reactive with other chemicals, yet a powerful stain treatment system. This cleaner dilutes at 1:120, making it not only eco-friendly but economical also.
Price: £24.94
Quantity: 2.5 l
Main Features:
- dilutes at 1:12o
- fully biodegradable
- costs 1p per sqm of carpet cleaned
7. Solution Standard
This cleaning solution can be used with other cleaners or spot treatment systems.

Solution Standard uses microsplitting technology but also performs this without enzymes or additives to the solution. There is no sitting time required from this solution and no bleach added to it. A major benefit of this cleaner is that it is compatible with other cleaners or treatments like Protect Nano. This solution should still be tested on an area that isn’t visible, in case of color fade after cleaning.

Main Features:
- microsplitting technology
- 50 ml/sqm

8. Solution SPM
Part of the Solution cleaning line, this cleaner is also multi-purpose and a completely effective way to treat stains and spots on fabric and fibers. Like the Standard cleaner, the SPM does not contain harsh chemicals or artificial additives.

This form of the cleaner comes in a powdered solution, also a microsplitter once mixed in water.

9. Dry Carpet Powder
Back with a new formulation, this cleaner is one of the most advanced cleaners that works dry on stains, making it a leader in VLM cleaning. The new formula sees a more organic recipe interlaced with microsplitting cleaning technology. There are no detergents or brighteners added and this cleaner is also mild enough to not damage other coatings on the carpet. The amazing thing about this dry cleaner is that it isn’t harmful to carpets that are held down by water soluble glue. And if you have little ones or an active house, don’t worry because dry cleaners also mean that there is no waiting time after cleaning to being able to walk on the carpet again.

10. Solu-Boost
With the exclusion of optical brighteners from other carpet cleaning products, they’ve become less harmful but your carpet doesn’t get brightened. Now, Solu-Boost offers the brightening you’ve been missing without the harmful chemicals. Instead, this cleaner uses an oxygenating brightener that makes colors look brighter and more vivid. When combined with a cleaning solution, it also enhances the cleaner and sanitizes the fibers. As with other products applied to carpets, it should be tested on an area that isn’t visible. This solution cannot be applied to fabrics with a machine, however.
Price: £46.69
Quantity: 5 kg
Main Features:
