If you've got kids, pets, or just the usual chaos of everyday life, you'll know how quickly carpets, sofas, and car seats can get grubby. The Carpet Washer is genuinely handy — it doesn't just vacuum, it actually washes and lifts dirt out of fibres using a dual-tank system that keeps clean and dirty water completely separate. With 600W of power and 13kPa of suction, it handles everything from delicate rugs to thick pile carpets without being too rough on the fabric.

One of the best bits is the self-cleaning function — at the press of a button, it flushes the drain hose automatically, so you're not stuck dealing with a smelly, clogged machine after every use. It's also got a decent reach with a 4m power cord and a 1.47m hose, so you're not constantly repositioning it. Compact enough to store without fuss, and light enough to carry from room to room or out to the car.

It's a solid, well-priced pick if you want a proper carpet washer without spending a fortune. You can find it over at Simpledeals, and if you'd rather spread the cost, you can grab it on Afterpay too. Comes with a 1-year warranty, so there's peace of mind there as well.
