Has anyone ever tried to use their home carpet cleaner (Ex. Bissell) to clean their automobile upholstery(carpeting)? If so ,how did you go about doing this since these steam cleaners are so bulky? I know this is a crazy question but I’m trying to avoid shelling out 60 bucks for a professional job if I can do it myself.
My kids seem to not listen when running around the house without shoes on and also with their socks on. They seem to either run bare foot or track mud all over the place. Well I steam cleaned my carpeting with my Bissell and followed the manufacturers recommendations on how much solution to put in my steam cleaner. Well now the carpeting is sticky and if anyone runs through the house it automatically shows the dirt. It looks horrible and I want a clean carpet, not one that smells like feet and old socks.
I need a good, affordable steam cleaner for my kitchen floors and my carpeting. NOT a shampooer, as they leave moisture which can cause the growth of bacteria. Please help, so far I have only found them for tile. Help!! My floor is dirty!
We just steamed cleaned our carpeting (with a rented steam cleaner) and while we are waiting for it to dry – it really has a bad odor all throught the house!!!! We have been doing this yearly for the past 15 years and have never had this problem….Any suggestions or thoughts about what happened? Or advise on a product I can buy that will neutralize the odor in the carpet?
I have two cats and a dog that have made my off white carpeting rather unpleasant and have come to the conclusion that I need to purchase a steam/water cleaning vacuum to end the recurring trips to the store to rent the rug doctor. I am trying to decide the best one to purchase. I am willing to spend anything up to 0 because between the vomiting, hairballs and accidents, I will have use for it at least once a week if not more. What is most important is how well it cleans the carpet and reliability. Does anyone have a steam cleaner that they like? or suggestions for what to avoid? Thanks…
I have heard good and bad things about renting a steam cleaning machine for my carpeting.
There cannot be too many nagative things about it…people use them all of the time!
I steam cleaning my sons bedroom carpeting after lunch and was wondering how long it usually takes before we can walk on it again. I have my air conditioning on and a fan going in the room.
steam cleaned not cleaning.
stolen our hearts but also the cleanliness of our carpeting. Granted a tiny dog, you say, could not possibly make this much damage ~ well, our whole entire carpeting looks like it has the measels !! From various online reviews, I have narrowed down my choices to:
(1) The Hoover Steam Vac Turbo Power Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge feature. Model # F5912900 — PRICE 0
(2) Bissell Proheat 2x Clean Shot Carpet Cleaning System., Model # 9500 ~ PRICE 0
I am confused since each of the two models have about the same number of good and not-so-good reviews.
I LOOK FORWARD to hearing from people who actually own either machine. Any advice, bad or good, is welcome !
