We have a big Hoover steamer cleaner, and it worked great in our old Jayco. We didn't have this rig long enough for the carpet to get dirty before we left. We are on the way back to the sticks and bricks so after we get the rig unpacked we will be doing a huge vacuuming and then a thorough scrubbing. We did buy some of the sticky rug protector from CW and it worked great but where it stopped there is a dark line where the unprotected carpet is dirtier than the protected. After we get the rig completely scrubbed and dried we will do all the living room area with the sticky film for when it goes in for the warranty work. When we hit the road again we will pull it back up. On the carpet in front of the sink from the kitchen vinyl to the living room is the highest traffic area and that gets pretty dirty from outside track in. As far as using a steam cleaner there should not be any problem. You don't really get to put down that much water to soak through to the floor and what you do put down gets sucked back up by the cleaner. You can use a "Rug Doctor" if you dont have a home scrubber. I prefer one like ours with scrubbing brushes.. Dave and Betsy
