I hired a carpet cleaning service and was informed that they would not access to my water to clean the carpets. Is this typical? I thought that most companies use their own filtered water, but I may be wrong!

I have a Bissell Easy Steamer and would like to know if I can make a home-made solution to clean my carpets. I am hoping for a strong yet gentle solution that will not damage carpet, yet clean dingy areas. My carpet is a dark grey low-pile and my area rug is an off-white medium pile.

noname asked:


I want to clean my carpets just the living room. Is there a way to do it by hand, and not have to buy a carpet cleaner, rent a carpet cleaner or get it professionally done?

Kristen asked:


I am about to steam clean my carpets but I would like to pretreat the areas that my puppy has soiled. Any suggestions? The smell usually comes back after a few days.

Whitney H asked:


Does anyone know how to use Liquid Alive Enzyme Producing Bacteria on Carpets to pass a black light test? I was told by a professional that this was the only way to get it to work, but since the stuff is expensive I want to make sure I do it right the first time!! Also, do you know if I should steam clean the carpets first or wait and steam clean after?
This is to clean dog urine!

abdiver12 asked:


We’re moving out at the end of the month and our landlord recently told us to steam clean the carpets (which were quite old before we got here) or else it was implied she would take it out of our security deposit. Our carpets are clean, have been vacuumed regularly, and we don’t wear shoes in the house. Does the landlord have the right to demand this of us? Is it normal procedure for tenants to do this or is the landlord being unreasonable here?

k asked:


Besides vacuuming, how do you maintain white carpeting? Personally I have found that using a storebought steamer makes my carpets look dingier. A person I knew at one time told me about a dry cleaning method using some kind of powder. She told me she rented the equipment and it only cost about thirty dollars. I’ve researched this and don’t have any idea where to go. Links to more info. would be helpful.

sherryberry74 asked:

I’ve read some of other people’s posts, and it seems like some say get a professional (some like Stanley Steemer, others don’t), some say to rent a carpet cleaner and do it yourself, others say to buy your own, which is the best investment in the long run. I don’t mind buying my own for $200 if they really work well, because it does seem to be cheaper in the long run. I have 2 dogs and they bring in mud and dirt into the house all the time. I’ve never had carpets deep cleaned before, so I don’t know the difference between the different services and technology. Are they all steam cleaners or no? Any information is welcome and appreciated.
