DO TELL. I am seriously in the market for a steam cleaner. This little
Bissell just doesn't cut it anymore, and, like DH says,
I "don't have enough butt" to lug home a Rug Doctor by myself.
With the addition of the kittens, I have 7 cats. SEVEN CATS. Seven
cats. I can't believe it. It is a tremendous amount of
work (for me, anyway) to stay on top of the housecleaning. It is
*extremely* important to me that the house does not
smell to other people. I don't mind clutter, but the floors have to be
clean. Tell me more about this rug cleaner. My e-mail is not munged.
(or, considering the topic of the newsgroup, other folks might be
interested in reading about it too)

Actually, I had white carpet,living room only, years ago. I liked it.
I loved the way the room
seemed lighter. And you always knew it was clean, because if it WASN'T
you could see it.
Now we have beigy-tan-brownish carpet that pretty much coordinates
well with dirt. I don't like
that. But at least it always *looks* presentable, even if it isn't.
It creeps me out, however, if I dwell on what probably really IS
ground down into that carpet.
Wood floors. Or even pseudo-looks-like-wood-floor-but-isn't. Maybe
someday!

The beauty of the Hoover Steam Vac Deluxe Sherry is that it has 5
individual rotating brushes. Guaranteed to clean up even the
skankiest messes......if caught in time. Of course I'm a bit old
school, and still feel that nothing cleans better than good 'ol 409,
so I generally spray each spot with that, then go to work with the
shampooer. Plus, to all of y'all who live in the south, everyone
knows that no matter how clean or fancy schmancy you house is, you
will occasionally get a roach inside. 409 kills them dead within
seconds, and the stream action they've generously included on the
sprayer allows you to kill them even in the smallest areas or far away
corners with deadly accuracy. Works great, and I'm having fun.

Don't beat yourself up. My brother and his wife did the same with their

Wow. From experience of having both, I seriously think toddlers (and I
love 'em, but glad I don't

they don't shed.

Oh Sherry.....red Kool-Aide is a cuss word in this house. It is the

furniture and carpeting, as well as counter tops. YIKES!!! Too bad

The not too distant future plan is to rip out all of the carpeting and
put in Pergo flooring, sell the house, and be rid of the whole mess.
We would like to eventually settle in the NW. Perhaps Portland, OR.

and that sort of challenging situation where body fluids might come into
play when one of my very elderly dogs started to forget about her toilet
training years ago. It looks just like an ordinary carpet, but is totally
impervious to anything that might land on it. You can even throw bleach on
it and it just wipes up with no trace at all. It only cost a little bit
more than a normal carpet and has been well worth the money. It comes in
all colours.
It's beginning to come to the end of its life now, the pile is wearing after
almost 20 years. I guess I can't complain ;-) When I get a round tuit I
will replace it with more of the same.
Just so that I can throw bleach on it! <g> I didn't actually believe that I
could, so I tried it when I first got the carpet to test their claim. It
was true.
It just wiped up on a cloth with no damage to the carpet as did urine and
poo when my old doggies got into their latter years when need to go turns
into have to go right now.

Two years ago we put tile in most of the house, and Pergo type flooring in
the family room. Both of us love the tile and simply hate the lamanate
flooring.
It shows every speck of dust or pet hair. It never looks really clean or
shiny. (You can't wax it)
I've tried every cleaning system you can imagine. Before you install the
floors, look it up on the internet and see how a lot of the people who have
it feel about it.
I'm putting rugs down as soon as they go on sale, and I'm really tempted to
put wall-to-wall over the whole thing.

I have laminate all over the downstairs. I discovered with the wood
grain that you can not use a sponge mop or the Swiffer Wet Jet because
it will streak. I got a Libman mop and use either white vinegar water
or Armstrong Floor cleaner. The Libman is the mop with the pink
strips of fiber cloth.

I have always grown up in tiled houses. Hate carpet with a passion, the
mere thought of all that ground in dirt disgusts me. But this house we
are currently renting has a beautiful Jarrah wood floor. Everyone who
visits loves it but we hate it. It really does show every cat hair,
every speck of dirt and never looks shiny except for an hour after an
extensive vacuuming and mopping session. Ugh. Much, much worse than the
tiles that I'm used to.
We are completely tiling our new house and then I'm going to get a
roomba and a mopping roomba. Can't wait!!!

This is why I stopped having rugs on my floor with Frank and Nikki. They
would be sick about once a week, and always on a rug. I remember one
time Frank wasn't feeling too good, he jumped off the window sill and
sought out a rug, was sick on it, went back to the window sill, then
jumped down again, sought out *another* rug, was sick on it. Later, he
was sick on yet another rug. I got tired of washing rugs, so stopped
having them on the floor.
It's very rare to have carpet in Finland. In the house where I grew up,
there was carpet in my parents' bedroom, and nowhere else. That house
was built in the '60s. I don't think I've ever seen carpet in any other
house.
Currently, I have laminate floors, which I think looks very nice. And it
is easy to clean.

Plus you can't get laminate flooring wet (can't mop it either) so if you
spill a drink or an animal has an "accident" you've pretty much screwed up
your flooring. I have laminate in my office only because it's not a high
traffic area (being off the garage), but pet hair *definietly* shows up more
here (I get "dust bunnies" the size of elephants!)

home-buyers think of tile floors as "cheap" (except for

killer is that red shag carpet from the 60s that I still have in my bedroom.
Shedding isn't a problem, but the itty bits of litter that get tracked in
are driving me nuts. My vacuum has not got the suction for that anymore. I
find myself picking up little bits of litter (and other stuff, like pieces
of paper and little bits of plastic wrap and stuff like that) all the time.
I'm not a real neat freak (Lord knows, my husband would've been the first
thing out of the house years ago if I was), but, God, I hate seeing stuff on
a carpet. If I can't see it that much,I don't mind, but when it stands out
like tan litter on red shag..... AAAACK!

You can't? You could have fooled me. I've got laminate flooring in
the entire downstairs, and the only problem I've had with water was
when the downstairs toilet was leaking between the laminate and the
flooring underneath and I didn't catch it in time to keep the subfloor
from rotting out.

I didn't believe their claims so I got a mid-brown one just in case ;-) Had
I been more confident in them I could have had any colour I wanted.
As I said, I will have to replace it only because the pile is wearing from
the traffic of human feet over the years. I'll get the same sort of carpet
again.
I had an *ordinary* carpet before that. With the accidents my old dogs
began to have almost daily I always thought it smelled even though I
shampooed it a lot, so I started to find excuses not to invite anyone in,
except special friends who understood.
There is no need for this with this type of carpet. Urine will not sink in.

The instructions that came with out laminate flooring were not to get it
wet, as in don't pour water on it. And to clean up and spills right away.
But that is because liquids can leak through the seams into the
underlayment. You can clean the surface with a damp mop. (I don't see how
else you could clean it)
I'm probably pushing things by using the Hoover FloorMate on it since it
sprays on water and cleaner, scrubs with a soft brush and then sucks up the
water. I'd guess even that could lead to mildew under the flooring if we
lived in an area with higher humidity.
But the notion in the advertising that all you need to do to clean it is to
use a dust mop or maybe a damp cloth on spills is nonsense.
Now to quit writing about it and actually go do it. I finally got everyone
out of the house for a few hours. Except Kayla and she's going outside.
With four teen grandsons and a grandpa and dogs and cats the floors really
need a good cleaning. Jake and Molly are out stalking robins. Grown robins

As someone who used to sell the stuff, I know laminate flooring *is*
pressed wood, only the laminated surface is on the top and bottom of the
board. The "body" of the board is pressed wood. This is why you should
not use a lot of water when cleaning laminate floorings, unless you've
used a special kind of sealant on the seams, or even have a glued
laminate, but nowadays most laminate floorings are the easy to install
ones that just click into place with no glue required.
You should clean laminate floorings with a same kind of (microfibre) mop
you'd use on parquets and even that one only damp, not wet, with very
little detergent in the water. If you use too much water when cleaning
laminate flooring, the water will enter the seams and make the pressed
wood board swell at the seams and hey presto, you have a wavy floor.
Also if you use too much detergent, it can make an ugly greaselike
stainy surface that is hard to clean off once it's dried.
