About Kirby Carpet Shampoo

Kirby Carpet Shampoo

Kirby Carpet Shampoo is a professional strength carpet cleaning shampoo that quickly and easily cleans carpets and upholstery by removing stains caused by tracked-in dirt, coffee spills, grease and food stains, pet accidents, and more. Shampoo an entire room, or clean up a small stain with ease. Our specially formulated dry-foam process reduces excess moisture which can damage the backing of the carpet and allows carpets to dry faster.

The Best Carpet Shampoo for Carpet Cleaner Vacuums

Kirby Carpet Shampoo is formulated with an encapsulating polymer that never leaves a sticky residue behind. While other carpet shampoos can leave a sticky residue and actually attract dirt, our concentrated carpet shampoo for Kirby systems emulsifies dirt and grime, which is removed during the shampoo process. After shampooing the carpet with Kirby Multi-Surface Shampoo System, Kirby Carpet Shampoo surrounds left behind dirt then dries to a crystal. This crystal isn’t sticky and allows dirt to easily be vacuumed away.

Shampoo Carpets FAQs

Extraordinary!

“With three dogs, friends and family running around my house all the time, it looks like a hurricane ran through my house at times. Thank God for my Kirby!”

Amazing Attachments!

“I remember as a child growing up I was always getting excited when my mom let me play with a Kirby attachment! Now I know just how amazing those attachments still work to this day for cleaning purposes.”

Magical Machine!

“After Christmas was over there was tinsel pieces all over the place, as you can image. We took out our Kirby and was able to clean it all up, plus some, including cleaning out bed, shampooed the carpet, and dusted. It’s truly a magical machine.”

Thought it work well but did not remove all the soil in the carpet. I've sold Kirby's before and was familiar with this product. Thank You.

This takes me back to when my parents upgraded their original Kirby (Red handle grip and gray and red bag) to a G2 with the carpet shampoo system !

It was impressive then… it’s impressive still… no matter what the improvements are that make it better… quality never goes out of style !

Overall, it’s an okay product for light to moderate cleaning needs.

The smell is pleasant and not overpowering, which I really liked. I used this Kirby carpet cleaner on my carpet and it did a decent job overall. It didn’t provide a very deep or strong clean on heavy stains, but for regular maintenance and freshening up the carpet, it works fine. The quality seems good and it’s easy to use. Overall, it’s an okay product for light to moderate cleaning needs.

It’s Kirby, the gold standard. I would not consider anything other in my Kirby carpet shampooing system.

Kirby dry foam shampoo is better than any other ca

Kirby dry foam shampoo is better than any other carpet shampoo out there. My local vacuum repairman recommends the Kirby carpet shampooer as the best one available because the dry foam actually loosens the dirt in the carpet instead of simply soaking the carpet with some useless cleaning solution. This is the best!

Outstanding carpet cleaner!

This works better than anything else I’ve tried for removing spots , including cat barf stains & grease & foot traffic spots. I highly recommend it & will buy it again. Buyers beware that there may be an additional postage due though. I had to go to the PO & pay $5.51 for postage due to receive my package.

Works reasonably well

If you have the fortune to own a Kirby with the shampoo accessory kit you will save your self a lot of money cleaning your own carpet.This carpet cleaner works to take up light to moderate soil. For spot and heavy traffic areas use their spray on spot remover, or better yet, get a bottle of Folex carpet cleaner which works very well and is reasonable priced.

Does the job

Shampoo always means more work. But this shampoo does the job. Not sure I really care for the smell, but once it is dry, I don't notice the odor any longer, so I will keep using.

Great Kirby shampoo

This is exactly what I needed to clean my carpet with my Kirby. I like the lavender smell. Foams up easily. A little goes a long way. And works great, leaves my carpets looking new.

Works Well

I have used this Kirby Carpet Shampoo for 38 years ever since I got my beloved Kirby vacuum cleaner. It is still going strong and so is the shampooer attachment. This shampoo works great at keeping my carpets clean and stain-free. Highly recommend.

Kirby carpet shampoo suds

The best carpet shampoo I have ever used! It cleans so well and leaves a great fresh scent behind. It dries very quickly and then just vacumm for a clean fresh carpet. Do spray any stains prior to shampooing. I found it years ago when my daughter was young. I bought a Kirby back then. My Kirby is now gone but I still use the carpet shampoo and always will!

Works great with our old Kirby vacuum

We have a 1960s Kirby vacuum that was my grandfather's. Although we have a more recent vacuum, I kept this one because of its run shampoo capability. We have a beige carpet in one of our rooms, and it was getting spotty, so my wife asked me to shampoo it. We'd used spot remover on specific spots before, but they helped temporarily if at all. Ordered the shampoo, and took out that old shampooer. After going over the carpet, all the spots were either significantly reduced or fully removed. Worked great! Might work with other brands, too, but definitely worked with the Kirby.

It's Kirby!

I have a Kirby vacuum that also is a shampooer. I like their rug shampoo. It works! Also good for spot cleaning. I prefer the regular not lavender scented.

It does a good job of getting rid of the odors ass

It does a good job of getting rid of the odors associated with pets. But I noticed that it doesn't lift the stain from the carpet.

Great spot remover. Very strong formula

Used this product with my Kirby carpet cleaner attachment on my Sentria and it removed all the stains on my carpet. We had basement water damage and were able to salvage the carpet. As a result there were several stains left by items that were on the carpet such as rust spots from exercise equipment, etc. This product mad the entire carpet look, feel, and smell like new. I am very satisfied with how this cleaner worked. I foamed over the spot in multiple directions and the stains came out after only one cleaning. I would recommend this product.

Get the biggest size

Borrowed my mother in laws kirby vacuum. My hubby swear by kirby being the best there is. Personally, i am not a fan of all the different hook ups, but it is super handy! Anyways, im here to review on the shampoo so here i go... The shampoo after using it smells fresh like a new home. If you plan on doing some deep cleaning go for the biggest one, especially if your home is big. I didnt use the whole bottle and it fell over so it started to leak. I'm not sure everyone had that problem, but even with the lid tightened, it leaked. Overall, great product when done right!

If you like using a dry foam machine, this shampoo is probably okay

I borrowed a Kirby dry foam cleaner to clean the deep urine odors out of my medium pile carpet, but I didn't know what I was getting into with this type of machine... Even after 3 passes (washing, drying, and vacuuming), although reduced overall, the urine odor is still present. Perhaps the odors are so deeply embedded in the carpet and pad that this cleaning style doesn't reach it. While I'm rating the carpet shampoo itself at 4 stars, the dry foam shampooing process is only 2 stars.
