You can put down the same amount of water with an upholstery tool as a wand. It just takes a lot longer.

Just use a bucket with holes punched in it for max flow and flushing lol. Use a shop vac to extract.

Lots of ways to get it done. I almost always use my stair tool on stairs though. Its just the way I like to do them.

Pump up the volume Mr 100 PSI..
Slurping some water on the carpet as that tool does. Does not constitute cleaning.
Unlike that specific (great) tool that was designed to be a low moisture upholstery tool, I clean carpeted stairs with a tool that was designed to clean carpeted stairs. Not upholstered stairs. Usually at 200 - 300 psi (depending on the carpet), with real jets and real cleaning.

Ain't that some concept?

The clear head tells me that you my fine friend, are dead wrong.

How are things in Grass Valley?

Both finely aged. :biggrin:
Seems like I'll have to explain.

This is Vintage Richard:

That on the other hand is classic Chavez:

I can imagine it's intensity! I can imagine a whole range of emotions and views to experience there. How often do you go?

Again, I use my full size wand fos as much as I can and in many cases that's 100%, then trim out.

I hate stair wands.
Because no one makes a decent one. With all the manufacturers that supposedly listen to us no one can bother to make a 2" stair tool with a decent head.

Here is a pic of some my stair tools. On the left is one of Ron Toney's upholstery tools, does a great job on the bullnose and is dripless. The next 2 have the same flow(4) and are my favorites. The long handles let me stand upright as I clean. Next is a prochem. Narrow little tool, puts a 4 flow down in a much smaller space. Last is a cut down single wand, works well but not as good as some of the others. When I talk about being too lazy to go out to th truck to get the stair wand, I'm talking about myself. I now have a damaged rotator cuff (on my shoulder not the tool) from using a full size wand as a stair tool. I'm 5'10" maybe you taller guys can get away with a little more but eventually it catches up with you
