Hello:
We just bought a house and wanted the carpet/steam cleaning professionally. It has carpet in the living, dining, 4 bedrooms, 1 family room areas and the quotes we got are anywhere from 0 – 0. The carpet is 10 years old, isn’t bad at all and has no major stains but just regular wear and tear of 10 years. We are thinking about replacing the carpet in the living room, dining areas with hardwood in 3-6 months time period. Since the cleaning is so expensive we also thought about renting a rug doctor to do the cleaning ourselves. But we are not sure what the rug doctor can’t do that the professional cleaners can. We need some advice on how to proceed? Do we go ahead and shell out the 500$ or just rent a rug doctor for about 50$ and do it ourselves. What are the major disadvantages with rugdoctor? What do you all suggest?

Hello 
I want to rent a rug doctor to clean my carpets (allergies) and here’s my question – I live in a VERY small apartment, is it okay to steam clean around the bed? If not, can the bed be put back in place almost immediately after I steam clean? (If I move it out of the room, It would be in the living room, and really in the way).
Thanks!
Rug Doctor Rentals are .00 – I don’t think I can get a professional to come in for that price.

My (rental) home ceiling collapsed in my living room. I had a room full of blown fiberglass. My couch/chair are cloth. Will steam cleaning them remove the fiberglass?

I have light colored carpet that’s about a year old and it looks great other than in my living room. When my son was still taking his bottle he would squirt drops all over the floor and rub them in. I would try to clean them right after he done it and watch him better to prevent it, but now I have tons of spots all over the place and it looks horrible. My moms old steam cleaner was useless and I would rather use a cleaning product that really works and scrub the floor myself rather than renting an expensive steam cleaner or hiring someone. My husband bought some offbrand cheap stuff that only made the house smell funny for two days. I desperatly want to know, what is the BEST carpet spray/cleaner?

Hey! I just purchased a Hoover Steam Vac (it works amazingly!!). I’ve been doing my living room in thirds because I live in an appartment and I have to rearrange the furniture to make a "clear path" for the carpet to be cleaned. However, there is one piece of furniture I really can’t move (it’s incredibly heavy). Would it be okay to go around it with the steam vac and like use the hand held attachment around it? Or should I ideally find someone to help me move it? Also, if I do have to move it, how soon can it be moved back? Do you have to put foil under it (its wood) to prevent staining (I don’t know if that’s true or not)
Also, my carpet is a dark green color, if that matters…ha!
Also – I used the bottle of Hoover Deep Cleaning that came with the steam vac, but its all used up. Stores around here only seem to carry resolve, oxy, and bissell carpet cleaners – any suggestions on good ones that don’t have a lot of perfumes?
Thanks in advance! 10points to best answer!

Okay, I did get the furniture moved (asked a neighbor to help), and steam cleaned that area and did several extra dry sweeps to get up excess water….how long should I wait to move the furniture back? How can you tell if carpet is REALLY dry – is dry to the touch really indicative of this?

Hi, we need to clean our carpet before moving out of our rented flat. It is just one area in the living room by the door. This part of the carpet is where you first tred after coming in from outside, so mud and building site dust (my BF is a bricklayer) has been trodden in, as well as some other stains like apple juice. Alos, when using a cheap carpet cleaner foam, my boyfriend didn’t sponge up the excess foam, so it seems to have left a whitish/yellow reside. The carpet is a dusty pink in colour (and quite old by the looks of it). We were thinking about buying a cheap steam cleaner for about £40 to do the job. Do you think this would work to get al the stains out? Also, can you add cleaning agents to steam cleaners or should you add them to the carpet? If so, what would you recommend?
Here’s the cleaner we’re going to buy http://www.woolworths.co.uk/ww_p2/product/index.jhtml?pid=50348724 – good as it also can steam wallpaper off of walls which we’ll need for our new flat!!
Also, from reading other questions – people seems to recommend oxyclean. Can I buy this in the UK – if so, where?

I have carpet in the living room, it’s not a big room, average size. I have a BISSELL steam cleaner, the one with the bristles, and I can empty the tank 5 times and keep going over the room and it still comes up dirty (the water) Is this normal? It’s not possible to clean it until the water comes up clean is it? This carpet is probably old, we moved in a year ago so I am not sure how old it is.
