I have used Capture (dry chemical powder) and I use to own a Hoover Steam Vac. I am trying to decide which is better for my carpet and me, my family and pets. As far as cleaning ability I think that some stains are just meant to come back.
Is it true that you have pets that had weed on your carpet, if you use a steam cleaner, will it come out spotty where the animal has done it’s business?
my dog has stained the carpet, I need a good steam cleaner and carpet shampoo, I had planned to go get the portable bissell spot steam cleaner just for now because it is on sale. but I need a full size steamer, also I tried the pets and kids stain and deoderizer and also the oxyclean rug shampoo but it doesn’t seem to be helping the dog is pooping in the same spot and now we have a yellow stain. also someone said to try white vinegar???? has anyone heard of this and does it work? please answer before I kill the dog, he has been relieving himself on the carpet for four days now. I take him outside prior to taking the kids to school, I just brought him a crate today. but I really need an excellent product to use on the carpet stains.
mike k, I was being sarcastic I’m not going to kill my dog.
wickedtru, there was a change in routine, my husband is usually here in the day but now we switched schedules and routines.
well my big irish wolfhound makes a lot of poop and pee, and to make matters worse he likes to walk and poop at the same time. so you can imagine what I come home to. it seems like natures miracle is the popular vote here so I will go and get some today. thank you everyone!!!! you cannot believe how streesed I am. this has been going on for four days now.
have a Bissell Pro Heat deep cleaning carpet cleaner. I also have pets, which means even after running a sweeper, there’s still a certain amount of dog hair in the carpet.
I was steam cleaning the carpet, and a clump of wet dog hair got sucked into the Pro Heat, and the motor sound got "muffled". I took off the clear window on the front and cleaned it, but could not find the glob of dog hair that is slowing it down.
Is there a way to clear the hose or whatever part that the dog hair clump is stuck?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
I have recently purchased Melaleuca’s Sol-U-Mel and I love it, and I know that you can use it to treat stains on carpets, but is it safe to use in a steam cleaner?
I have cream colored carpet, and while there are no food/drink/etc stains, there are some blackish stains in the higher traffic areas.
I have a Bissell ProHeat 2X and I have tried all of the Bissell products and while they initially work, a few days later, I guess after everything has fully dried, some of the spots return. I usually do 2-3 passes with the steam cleaner.
I have also tried the "old school" method of ammonia and laundry detergent which works a little better, but still, the black spots return and I also have pets. Not to mention, I am 5 months pregnant and don’t need to deal with ammonia.
So does anyone know if I can use Sol U Mel in my cleaner. Sure, I could spot clean but that would take me almost as long to do as just steaming the whole living room. If so, do you use it full strength or diluted? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
I’m calling in a company to have my carpets cleaned. One place I called said they use the dry cleaning method. ??? I’m not familiar with that. Has anybody used it? I worry that it’s even safe because I have pets and a new baby! That (dry cleaning method) sounds like too many chemicals to me. Anybody know? We had an older dog that peed on the floor and got sick often so they really need to be cleaned good!
I want to buy a steam cleaner for my carpet. I have pets and we have the occasional accident or tracking in of mud, plus I’ve got soda stains, etc. I don’t expect to be able to get all of the stains out but I do want to get my carpet nice and clean as possible. I am willing to invest more money for a better machine. What is the best steam cleaner on the market? Any suggestions?
Okay, then what is the best hot water extaction machine?
