The Carpet Agitator: Deeper Cleaning for Heavily Soiled Carpets

A motorised rotary brush that works detergent right into the pile, then pulls the dirt back out. Here's how it works and which machines it fits.

A standard carpet wand sprays and extracts. On regular soiled carpets that's enough. But on high-traffic areas, greasy kitchens, pub floors and rental properties between tenants, the dirt is ground deep into the pile, and spray-and-extract alone won't lift all of it.

That's the job of the carpet agitator: a metal rotary brush tool that scrubs the detergent into the carpet before you vacuum it back out.

How it works

  • Spray: pull the trigger and the agitator sprays detergent from your carpet machine onto the carpet.
  • Agitate: the rotary brush works the detergent deep into the pile, loosening dirt that a wand would leave behind.
  • Extract: draw the agitator back towards you and it vacuums out the detergent and the dirt together.
Why the weight matters: at 15.3kg, the agitator's own weight presses the brush into the carpet. You get consistent brush pressure across the whole room without pushing down, which means less effort for you and even results.

Specifications

  • Motor: its own 240V, 120W electric motor to drive the brush
  • Cable: long power cable supplied
  • Weight: 15.3kg
  • Head width: 300mm (about 12 inches)
  • Trigger gun: metal, for durability on the job
  • Switch: on/off switch on the side of the motor
  • Brush height regulator: raise or lower the brush to suit short or long pile carpets and to adjust how hard it agitates

Which machines does it fit?

The agitator connects directly to:

Using a different carpet machine? The agitator will fit many other carpet cleaning machines by changing the water hose connection, and we stock several. Tell us which machine you have and we'll make sure you get the right connector.

When to use it

  • heavily trafficked hallways, stairs and office walkways
  • end-of-tenancy and landlord cleans
  • pubs, restaurants and other greasy commercial floors
  • long pile carpets where dirt sits deep in the fibres

Pair it with hot water at 60–70°C and you'll get the best result the machine can give. For a comparison of the two Aquarius Hot machines it's most often used with, read our Hot 1400 vs Hot 2800 guide.
