Abstract: Disclosed herein is a brush for cleaning carpets which includes a base member by which the brush is secured to the underside of a rotary or oscillating machine to impart a corresponding movement to the brush; a plurality of bundles of bristles, each bundle extending from the underside of the base member and being spaced from adjacent bundles; and a plurality of freely rotatable spheres journaled in the underside of the base member and protruding therefrom to support the weight of the brush and machine and vibrate against the carpet as the brush is driven thereover.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning carpet. The pile of the carpet is first lifted, opened and agitated by stiff rotating brushes and beater bars, separating the foreign matter therein from the pile and bringing the matter to the surface of the carpet. The carpet is then vacuumed removing the separated matter therefrom. A film of cleaning agent is then sprayed through a hand-held wand over the carpet encapsulating the carpet fibers. The wand communicates with a portable pressurized supply of cleaning agent. After a short setting, the carpet is scrubbed with counter-rotating or rotary brushes. The agent is then allowed to dry and the residue removed with a vacuum.
