Yes. The Host powder is really expensive! The powder also cleans marginally. And it tends to load up in the carpet fiber, which is difficult to remove. I'm not a fan.
Yet your faced with a challenging situation.
Dry times with a Cimex are normally less than 2 hours. But you would still need a good vacuum or pile lifter for the straw.
If it were me, I would go with the X-Vac pile lifter along with a Cimex.
You can get a Cimex in 240 volts, so you wouldn't need a transformer. And I believe you can get a pile lifter in Oz as well. Check with Gary Bethel at Powerclean Australia.
