Q:Is it more affordable to buy your own carpet cleaning equipment and clean your own carpets or is it more affordable to hire someone from a carpet cleaning company?

Really, will a hundred dollar machine compete evenly with a professional carpet cleaners twenty thousand dollar, van equipped, engine powered carpet extraction machine. No, not in a million years. A Bissell or Hoover type carpet cleaner can only be described as a toy. The pro comes ready to clean with 100 gallons of super hot, softened, and treated water, super suction and extraction. No soap residue is left in the carpet. The toy machines leave a soapy residue that leads to carpets that quickly become re soiled. The pro also carry's numerous products that are at his disposal to treat a numerous variety of stains and odors. Carpets are a big, if not huge, investment for most home owners. Use reason and common sense before you blow a hundred dollars.

Q:theres a rug outside of my bedroom door, and my cat keeps dragging it down the hallway.. She never does it when anyones watching either

It's a toy. Maybe it's time you found some new way to enrich your cat's life at the pet supply store.

Q:i live in a house on a college campus, and after all the parties and everything, the floors tend to get dirty. my white shag area rug is right by my door, so a lot of dirt has been tracked onto it and it's starting to look gray and isn't fluffy anymore. i love my rug, is there any way to save it?

Get a can of foam rug cleaner, spray it, scrub it in with a damp mop, let it dry then vacuum.=)

Q:I have two area rugs that need cleaned. They aren't stained, just a bit dingy looking from my lab laying on them. One is a jute type rug, 8x10, and the other is a mixed type blend 7x9, it does have some wool in it. I was just wondering if I could use my hand held steamer, I have a Shark Steamer, to clean these? Will it hurt them?If I do this, what should I use with it, just water or some kind of carpet cleaner, etc?

It is not a bunch of money to have them cleaned by professionals. It is cheaper if you take them to the cleaning company and pick up. I highly recommend Serve Pro, if they are in your locale. When they know what the soil or stains are, they're very successful. Pets leave oil from their fur and skin. I am not associated with them. I've used them when I owned my own floor covering business, 35 years, Ret. Jute can be tricky. The mixed fiber rug may have polypropylene and should not be cleaned at a high temperature.

Q:Is there a way to bleach my carpet?Not to get a stain out or anything.But my carpet is a bache color, and I would like to make it white.Would putting bleach on it make it brighter?

rent a carpet shampoo machine, mix a 10 -1 ration of water to bleach and give it a go, keep all windows open , then use a wet/dry vac to soak up any remaining water from the Carpet

Q:The tar has been on the carpet for four months

I once got tar on my feet at the beach in Miami, and lo and behold, in the hotel's little store they had a product called Tar Off. Worked wonders. Go to any home supply store and they should have something for you.

Q:Our Carpet is just a MESS, and the sad thing is when we moved in we just had it put in.I am thinking about Renting a Rug Dr and wondering about their effectiveness of actually cleaning Carpet?I'm not so much worried about Stains as I am SMELL! We have a 2yr old that has pee accidents all the time as we are going through Potty Training right now and yanks his diaper off before I even know it. Then we have a Golden Retriever and A Great Dane they had a bout of Coccidia so that didn't help quot;a lot of diarrea for those who are wonderingquot;...Help! I got a quick Quote from Stanley Steamers and it's going to be around $100+ to do my living room, I'm thinking about just using a rug Dr. What do you think? What can you tell me about it? Thanks! :)

Stanley Steemer is higher than the company I use. There are other carpet cleaning companies, but find a reputable one and let them clean it, if it is as dirty as you say it is. Once you get it cleaned, you can purchase stain and odor remover for pets at Walmart. It works great. I have my carpets cleaned professionally. I'm always leery of rented cleansers breaking down, leaks etc. Professionals will come in, and usually are out of here in 45 mins. to do our carpets. It is worth having them to do it and do a good job. They have cleaners for pets and also can put a scotch guard spray on after wards. Just look around for some better carpet cleaning companies. Stanley Steemer is good, but they do charge more than some. Good luck on finding what you want.
