We've got some grime in our carpets that just doesn't seem to want to shift

Does anyone have any experience of this model or similar machines?

A good clean will sort them out I think.

First pre-spray the carpet with a pre-spray detergent, then agitate
the pre-sprayed carpet, clean the carpets with a proper machine and
hot water....as long as the carpet isn't wool. Once you have shampooed
the carpet you should go over with just fresh water and finally do
some dry passes to removes as much moisture as possible.

Prochem chemicals are excellent.

Get a commercial machine such as:

And commercial Prochem chemicals should be available from a local
janitorial supplier.
