Cleaning carpets

[CarolWilks 0]

House is going on 6 years and the carpets have never been cleaned. The need for cleaning was there after six years let alone with a cat and dog thrown in. Didn't look dirty and no stains that is until Emily my Corgi cacked up the aftermath of dark colored treat. Six years and 2.5 of those with the superstar of shedding then toss in a cat it was time.

Moved most the furniture out of the bedroom that is the first of 3 rooms and 2 larger area rugs. Had to vacuum the carpet 3 times to get all the corgi hair that was hiding under that moved furniture. I can tell you a Roomba doesn't cut it. I can run the Roomba on carpet then run the my upright. The upright will pick-up over 10 times what the Roomba did plus a lot more dirt/dander. With that done time to shampoo.

The thought of lugging a big rental back and forth then maneuvering that big machine in a small house wasn't appealing so decided to buy a machine. It's a Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet 1548 their middle of the road machine. Price for the Bissell was good but what they want for cleaning fluid is ridiculous. Luckily it came with a couple of small bottles that got the bedroom and an area rug done. I'll make my own cleaning fluid from now on. There's plenty of recipes on the net.

It did a real good job of both cleaning and sucking the water back up. Really no difference between a rental and the Bissell except that the Bissell only holds a gallon so you have to fill-up more often. Other than that much the same. Easy one handed use. Finished about 4 in the afternoon, By 11pm the carpet was almost dry the area rug only took about 2 hours if that.

I've found that Everyday Clean offers really effective rug cleaning, making it hassle-free to maintain your carpets without the mess of doing it yourself. They focus on quality care and use eco-friendly products, which is a plus for me. If you're looking to keep things easy, especially with allergies in mind, they might be worth considering.
