My carpet is not hideous, but it has looked better. There is one juice stain from the kids (which is hidden by a rug right now) and it’s overall a little dirtied up. I tried some cleaners for the bad spots, but they really didn’t do anything other then lighten the carpet a little – which also made a visible spot from where I didn’t clean. I am thinking I will need to steam clean just so it doesn’t look patchy. Any thoughts?

We have white carpet and I want to know some of your experiences of what has worked the best. We have a bissel carpet cleaner at home and I would like to use that but the bissel cleaners don’t work very well from what I’ve found.

I have a puppy who I am trying to potty train right now and she sometimes has accidents. I know that dogs like to go where they can smell they have peed or pooed before, so I want to get a cleaner that will completely eliminate the smell from the carpet. The cleaner I have now eliminates the odor for me, but apparently she can still smell it, since dogs have a keen sense of smell. I have read about enzymatic cleaners that can eliminate the smell but I am unsure about what brand to buy. At the pet store there are so many brands and I’m not sure what exactly to look for.

I have also heard about using vinegar to get rid of the smell, but I don’t want my carpet smelling like vinegar anymore than I want it to smell like pee or poop.

I managed to take a hard left and sent a Pepsi flying. Tried those spray foam cleaners a while back on a real floor with white carpet, and I wasn’t impressed, but is that the best way to go, or should I try some diluted ammonia or the like?

I’m out in the driveway now cleaning the floor mats – lemme know whatcha think
And anyone has any idea how to get the stink out of my trunk I would greatly appreciate it. I have no idea what it is…only thing in the trunk is a spare and a lawn chair. Not a mildew smell or anything indicating that something got wet – it’s that oily smell of a mechanics shop….

Thanks for your time.
Also advise me whether Central Vacuum is better or the hand vacuum. Thanks

What is the best at home steam cleaner for carpet?

We are purchasing a house that was foreclosed on and has been sitting for about 6 months. The carpet is probably 3 years old and appears that a vacuum cleaner has never touched it…LOL! However, I believe the carpet will come clean, it’s just extremely dirty and has a lot of traffic areas in it. I have rented a steam cleaner to try to do it myself, but was wondering if anyone has any advice on any good cleaners to use in the system that they have had a great success with.

We just moved to a new apartment and the carpet is not in great condition. There is some food caked in. What is the best shampooer to buy? I’m looking in the line of steam cleaners.
I have never heard of those brands. Is it available in the U.S?

When we moved in 2 months ago there were a few stains on the carpet, but otherwise it looked clean. I vacuum once a week just on principle I like to walk on clean carpet. However, I got a puppy for christmas and she’s already mostly house broken. We’ve just had maybe 3 or 4 accidents. I noticed she went on the stained parts of the carpet. Our carpet is a medium brown color and the stains are just a little darker so I wasn’t too worried and noted it on my move in check list. As I was cleaning the accidents, I noticed quite a bit of dirt coming up also. I wanted to steam clean, but I know that some steam cleaners actually soak the carpet which can cause the carpet to not get completely dry in some areas leading to mold or rotting. I’m not sure what to do because it’s killing the neat freak in me that the floor is so icky. We were told that it had been professionally steam cleaned prior to us moving in, but that seems highly doubtful. Any ideas on how or what I should use to clean my carpet? I’m kind of on a tight budget so the best for the cheapest price would be great.
