 Wet/dry vacuums have made cleaning up spills much easier and less time consuming. These cleaner are designed to pull the spill out of the carpet with more power and amps than a regular vacuum cleaner. These vacuums usually have a rolling canister. There is no bag but just an empty canister for sucking the spill of the floor.
