*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Carpets can get very dirty quickly and many are downright filthy, even if they look clean. After all people walk all over them, and who knows what their shoes have been walking on both inside and outside. Carpets get a lot of dirt, dust, grime and just about anything else on them. In some places people remove their shoes before walking inside, but unfortunately that is not the custom in the US. With children and pets they get even dirtier faster, which should be no surprise either.
Carpets should be cleaned far frequently, but rarely are. This is especially important with kids since they tend to play on the floor a lot. The homes that clean their carpets the most tend to be the ones that own a carpet cleaner. There are all types of models and they can be quite economical as well.
There are both consumer and professional models. There are two types of consumer machines, and the first is a stand up one which looks like many vacuum cleaners. These are good for cleaning large areas such as whole carpets and homes. Handheld machines which are smaller and less expensive work quite well for doing small areas or small rugs, however cleaning a whole large carpet or house wouldn�t be efficient or effective.
Commercial machines are heavier and much stronger and clean deeper. They are widely available and can be rented cheaply. Check your local supermarket, hardware store, or look online and you�ll find plenty of options usually even in quite rural areas. You�ll also need supplies such as various solutions and they will be able to advise you.
Commercial carpet cleaning services are also a great option for many people especially if you are busy like most of us are and they usually do a great job. You probably still need to pick up of course. Ask around or look online and make sure you understand their terms, fees, and look for references too. You can often find references online which is extremely convenient.
What we do is pretty simple. We do own a standup consumer model, a Hoover we have had for a long time. It�s proven to be reliable and durable, but lugging it out of the basement and using it is quite a bit of work so we usually only use it a few times a year. Spring, which is very muddy here, usually requires a full house cleaning for example. For smaller cleaning jobs, such as when one of the pets has an accident or the children make a mess, we use a handheld spray carpet cleaner from the supermarket. Resolve is one good brand and there are others. We also very occasionally hire a commercial service. For example, before we sold our last house we called in the pros which was pretty easy as we had already moved out and the house was empty.
In shopping for a machine, think about how you will use it. Maybe rental is a better option? Many people, like us, both own and occasionally rent a more powerful machine.
