Did you realise that professional carpet cleaning is recommended every 6-12 months? How often do you have your carpet cleaned? Who cleaned your carpet was it a company or did you clean your carpet yourself?
I clean them myself a few times a year
We clean our carpets once a year. But if it needs it more often we would clean them. We have children so, sometimes it is necessary to clean them every 6 months. It really depends on what happens in your home. But I would say at least once a year. And, yes, we do rent a machine and do it oursleves. Thanks
Regardless of which machine I use, I prefer Rug Doctor cleaning solutions, as they seem to work the best. Also, having the proper cleaning procedure will give you the best results with the least amount of time and expense. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations with equipment as well as follow label direction on all cleaning products.
I see that this is basically an advertisement for your carpet-cleaning company, which is fine with me. Lots of people don't keep their carpets very clean. Others rent those stupid carpet-steamers from the stores, then soak their carpets and their carpet pad gets musty and rotten. I have a Bissell steam cleaner, and I steam my carpet every 2 weeks. I once used a professional carpet cleaner, and they (incorrectly) scrubbed a stain very hard by hand and damaged my carpet. Another professional cleaner was unable to get cat-urine odor out of a carpet (I know, it's one of the hardest odors to remove). I bought some Unique Pet Odor and Stain Eliminator, which is the only product I have ever used that works on cat urine, and was able to remove the odor myself. I have 9 cats and a dog, which explains why I have to clean my carpet frequently.
