The Difference Between an Extractor and a Shampooer

Dirt Devil Tip: How do you decide if you need a carpet shampooer vs. a carpet extractor? Choose an carpet extractor when it's time to treat your carpet with such things as a stain guard or deodorizer. This will inject the project into the carpet, while still cleaning it. If you're carpet simply needs a good bath, choose a carpet shampooer for getting out spills, stains or dirt.
