Seeking Excellent Carpet Cleaner

I do not recommend bleach!! it is toxic and will stay in your carpet. I recommend Stanely Steam Master. They did a great job on our carpet... I also do not like the idea of Chem Dry.... they just put a chemical on the carpet and then vaccuum it up a few hours later- yhew.

Best of luck!

If you are eventually going to replace the carpet anyway....you could just rip it up. A friend of mine recently ripped up the carpet on her stairs and painted the floor with floor paint. But I just noticed you said hallway too, so don't know if that would help....

I would rent one of those carpet cleaning machines from the grocery store (Kroger). We used that to clean our carpet when we first moved into our place. Then, we poured the hot soapy liquid down the bathtub, and it cleaned the dirty bathtub that the previous owner did not clean as well! I think it cost $20 plus the cost of the cleaning solution to rent. Happy cleaning! :)

CAPTURE Carpet Cleaner sold at Home Depot. It is a powder that you can clean your whole house with and takes minutes instead of hours to dry; since it is not soaking wet when you are done.

My carpet used to horrible. I tried all kinds of name brand cleaners and professional carpet cleaners. I finally found Pro Master Carpet Cleaners ###-###-####. They did an excellent job not only cleaning my carpets, but deoderizing them as well. They also added scotch-guard to my carpet and my upholstry. Ever since, I have had NO PROBLEM getting anything up (including spaghettios...) with any cleaning product whether it be Woolite Oxyclean or Resolve. No matter what...I would suggest a professional cleaning WITH scotch guard. It has made my life easier with two dogs, a cat, a two year old AND my husband!! EXTRA NOTE: If you do decide to use a machine that you rent...BE SURE TO GET ALL OF THE SOAP OUT OF THE CARPET. Apparently, I didn't when I used one once and was told that was a major problem in attracting more dirt.

J.,

my husband owns Prestige Services Carpet Cleaning and is a certified master carpet cleaner. I called him to ask what you should do. He said DO NOT use bleach!! He said the gray look could be from ground in soil or it could be from wear. He wasn't sure of any home remedies you should try, but he did say the vinegar that someone else mentioned wouldn't hurt the carpet. Peroxide and greased lightning would probably mess up the carpet depending on what is is made of. He said you are welcome to call him and will see if he can help you. He said for me to give you his cell phone number: ###-###-#### his name is Kent Hartshorn
Just tell him that his wife gave you his number.
The office number to Prestige if you would rather call that number is ###-###-####
Hope this helps some.

What I do (and it works on almost every stain I've had to get out) is boil water on the stove and mix the hot water with vinegar in the carpet cleaner. For bad stains I pretreat by putting the boiling water directly on the stain and scrubbing before using the carpet cleaner on the whole floor.

I have tried the commercial chemical cleaners and nothing works like good ole vinegar... this is a much cheaper and healthier solution too.

I use the vinegar myself which works wonders. Prior to cleaning my carpet I pretreat with Grease Lightning. Spray it down for a minute and then scrub with a toothbrush. For rust or blood try some good ole peroxide and it also works in the laundry. Hope this helps.

Here is my suggestion. We had the same problem and hired everyone in the book to come clean our carpets. The carpets would look great for a little while and then look dirty again a few days later. We had the greatest success when we went to Lowes, rented our own machine (they have cleaning solutions available for purchase too) and did it ourselves. We did a much more thorough job and really freshened the carpets. There is no comparison with the people who come to your house to get it done as quickly as possible.

Best carpet cleaner in world is Heaven's Best Cleaning Service! The proprietor's name is Larry Young. I wouldn't use of anyone or anything else! Reasonably priced, fantastic service. Tell him I sent you. His number is ###-###-####.

I would say to call CitruSolution (our company) ###-###-#### we use a great smelling solvent made from citrus peels and a heavy buffer which spins and pulls the dirt up and out of the carpet. Our process means the carpet will dry in a few hours since we do not dump gallons of water in your carpet and then try and extract it out. There is a minimum charge of $75--rooms and stairs are $35/piece and hallways are $15. After the job is complete your carpet will be clean and smell good. Additionally, you receive a 32 oz bottle of the spot cleaner to use on spots that occur after the cleaning and the bottle is bottomless meaning it is refilled for free if you have had your carpets, rugs or furniture cleaned within 18 months.

Best wishes!

We've used ZeroRez several times in the past few years and they have blown me away with how clean they get the carpets and the stains they are able to get out. In addition, they do not use any chemicals (many are so toxic to our little ones and to us!) so they are so much safer than using many other companies. Great customer service and they are very thorough. The guy that I always request is Teacher and he is marvelous.
Good luck!

For small spots I was using an apolstry (sp?) cleaner for spot jobs that you get from a place like auto zone or w.e.But just yesturday I tried it on my sons carpet which had stains from various foods and drinks and I went in there with a cap half and half of tide and hot water with a rag and to my surprise it cleaned every stain but the one from pink drink which I have found nothing for yet.It didn't take much scrubbing but might take a little time to do the whole rug depending on how big but if your like me, the feeling of it being clean is well worth the effort.You can also try to rent a rug cleaner from the gorcery store or Lowes also.I've used one before and they work ok.But if your going to to just rip up the carpet soon I say don't waste the money on hiring a place to come in and do it.Try the tide on a spot and see how it works.It also freshens the carpet as well.

I got this advice from a friend who owned apartments.... use your carpet shampooer with clorox 2 (the color safe bleach). I have cream carpet and 4 kids and it's worked wonderfully for me.
