Most people purchase the Puzzi 8/1 for its outstanding upholstery cleaning abilities, but this versatile spray extraction machine can be used for a wide range of textile cleaning applications. Below are the main uses that make this machine popular in both professional and commercial environments.
Upholstery Cleaning
The Puzzi 8/1 is particularly designed for deep cleaning upholstered furniture.

The powerful suction leaves upholstery only slightly damp so it dries quickly.
Carpet Cleaning
Although designed mainly for upholstery, the Puzzi 8/1 is also capable of cleaning smaller carpeted areas. The spray extraction process penetrates deep into carpet fibres, removing embedded dirt, stains and odours while refreshing the carpet’s appearance.
Car Valeting
The compact size of the machine makes it ideal for vehicle interior cleaning. Car seats, carpets, boot linings and fabric panels can all be thoroughly shampooed using the upholstery nozzle, helping restore vehicle interiors to a clean and fresh condition.
Spot & Stain Removal
Thanks to its targeted spray application and powerful suction system, the Puzzi 8/1 is excellent for removing stubborn stains and spillages. This makes it perfect for quick maintenance cleaning or tackling unexpected accidents.
