Britex

Hired a Britex carpet cleaning machine from Woolworths. Very easy and cost effective proceed. Machine was extremely easy to use and did a great job; the carpet came up nice and clean. Machine can be lifted by 1person and fits into a mazda cx3. If there are stairs but no lift, recommend getting help carrying up the stairs. Will definitely hire again on a more regular basis ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don't bother, unless you are prepared spend over an hour per small (3m x 3m) room and to ache all over from having to push down HARD on the wand to suck up the liquid out of the carpet. AND go over the grubby bits 6-7 times and STILL not get them acceptably clean. Any 'spots' were pre-treated before using the machine. The carpet cleaning… Read more

solution however is not fit for purpose.

Hiring was the easy part. Cost was "Too good to be true". Cleaning the machine after a 4 hour use was easy. But I am now left with a REALLY patchy carpet, that will have to be professionally steam cleaned, with a truck-mounted machine. I have learned a lesson - do not believe all the glowing reviews about these units.

I had got FAR better results - and almost perfectly clean carpets - from doing them by hand, in sections with sudsy hot water in a bucket, with clean hot water in another bucket as a 'rinse' but this was taking too long, hence hiring this unit.

Great Machine - but Bissell Revo ProHeat 2x is better value if buying one – I have used the britex machine a few times. It does a pretty good job at shampooing and extracting water. The carpets dry quickly However it doesn't "scrub" or agitate the carpet, and for stubborn stains I find this a bit of a negative. However you can compensate for this by using a carpet stain remover - Woolies sell a product called Dr Beckman… Read more ·  1

pet and stain remover. It has a brush on the bottle - and I would recommend that on stains before shampooing. The Britex is excellent if you want to disinfect / deodorise your carpets. Its probably not recommended by the manufactuter - but I put the washing machine disinfectant (like dettol, or aldi sell a eucalyptus based product for around $4 a bottle). I figure if its safe for fabrics its safe for carpet - and it is good for disinfecting the floor

Having said all that (and if you want to rent, this machine is great) with Covid I decided I no longer wanted to rent a machine that had been sucking goodness knows what out of a strangers floor. I did some research and took a risk with the Bissell Revolution Pro Heat 2x. I think it was the pet one also.

For the price (around $500) I was really pleased with the machine. The carpets came up a bit cleaner than the Britex (as it has spinning brushes a bit like a Dyson powerhead). The Britex is $1600 - so a big investment for a device you use twice a year. I think from a value perspective the Bissell is a better option for home users. However if you have a bigger budget - the Britex is definitely simpler to use (especially cleaning), and I think it has much better suction (I think it took a day for my carpets to dry with the Bissell which may be a deal breaker if you kids).

If you are renting - 100% recommend the Britex. Even with the hygiene issues of renting - all of the components are quite easy to clean and disinfect before use (other than the suction hose - but I don't think this matters)

Easy to hire, instructional videos easily available online, easy to use, easy to clean, easy to return, great smelling cleaning liquid and the carpets dried quicker than I expected! Will be using it again

Overall did the job ok At one stage after replacing with fresh fluid it wouldn't work. The phone help quickly sorted the fix. My only negative is they are a bit heavy and cumbersome to lug up the stairs if you have 2 stories. Overall though a good experience

Easy to use, very effective. Would have been a 5 star review if there was the option to have a wider floor nozzle to increase efficiency and reduce the time it took to clean all the carpets in the home.

Disappointing results – Carpets still dirty even after following all instructions. Without rotating scrub brushes I fail to see how spraying solution and then sucking up lifts dirt out of the pile? I tried using my hand held upholstery cleaner with a scrub brush and suction nozzle on small carpet section and it came up beautifully but this is ineffective on a large… Read more

area. Disappointing results, cumbersome machine in small areas. Waste of money. I only gave it two stars instead of one due to the fact that the solution smells fresh.

Works but slightly disappointed – When quoted over $600 to clean the carpet in my house I thought it would be worth giving a Britex machine a try. The machine certainly removed a lot of dirt from the carpets and upholstery, but I will still need to use a professional to get the results I want. Stain removal was poor and many minor spots required a number of treatments. My… Read more

carpets are cleaner, but it wasn't worth the effort despite the comparatively low cost. The tile and grout tool was utterly useless and made virtually no difference to the tiles. A standard mop and supermarket floor cleaner was more effective and less cumbersome. Next time I'll pay a professional. Hire staff at Bunnings were fantastic!

Never again – I felt it did a superficial carpet clean which required more than one clean to improve cleanliness. It was easy to use but regret as a dog owner I could not use it again. Had to try

I hired the Britex machine to clean my mums home There were some very grubby spots were cleaned so easily. The scent of the shampoo left such a fresh smell throughout the house. It was great value ,especially for 24 hrs .Highly recommend this product ! Will definitely hire again . Only negative not many places have the machine for hire anymore

Amazing result from a little work . The chemicals work a treat and the amount of t of grime removed was incredible to see . Definitely worth the time and a great hire price .

Affordable. Instructions clear to follow. Effective to remove the dust and grime. I used it on my couch and thankful I got to hire one to do myself cause I feel would work more effectively instead of being undecided of what to get from the store. So made my job easy

I recently hired a Britex Carpet Cleaner and I was seriously impressed with the results. The machine was really easy to use and did an excellent job pulling dirt and stains out of my carpets that I didn’t even realise were there. After cleaning, the carpets looked noticeably brighter and felt much fresher. It picked up a lot more dirt than I… Read more

expected, and the whole house smelled clean afterwards. I would definitely recommend hiring a Britex cleaner if you want a proper deep clean without paying for professional carpet cleaning.

I find these machines a convenient way to clean the carpet, cost effective, good result, accessible, on my schedule. Makes the carpet look a lot better and doesn’t take long to dry.

First time doing my own rug shampooing. Great service, especially as I was able to pick up from my local Woolworths store. The person hiring should be aware that it is a reasonably cumbersome machine. I am in my late 60's and luckily the staff helped me get into my car and, out on returning. A good amount of time needs to be allowed to do the… Read more

shampooing but it is a very easy and rewarding process. My rugs came up looking very refreshed and did not take long to dry. I will definitely use again and probably a lot more often than in recent years.

I loved using the machine as it was easy to move around with its handle. It also cleans deeply and removed alot of trapped dirt out of my large rug. My rug and carpets smelled clean and fresh afterwards

Hiring the Britex carpet cleaning machine from my local supermarket is an easy and seamless process. The machine does the job just like a professional service and is easy to use.

Easy to arrange hire, results were much better than expected - I used to pay professionals to do this job but Britex makes it easy and more affordable to get the same results.

Easy to use with great results - The ability to go over difficult stains because it was a hire was so much more value for money than getting a professional cleaner.

The convenience of cleaning my own carpet when I had time saved money. It didn't even take all that long once I set up & got started. The results are as good as the effort you put in. I prefer to do them myself.

Easy to hire. Clear instructions on use with a contact number if something unexpected happens. Not heavy and wheels easily. Didn’t leave my rugs overly wet allowing them to dry in a short period of time.

Cheap to hire and easy to collect from Woolworths. Worked really well, even though hubby worked up a sweat. Carpet turned out great. Dried quite quickly. Will definitely use again, maybe every 3 months. Very happy
