Clean Carpets

I cleaned my carpets today. It took me 2 hours and I'm sure that if I did them again tomorrow I would pull an equal amount of muck from them but they are so much better than they were.

We had been cleaning them. Frequently. But apparently our now previous carpet cleaner sucked. Or rather, didn't. We would put the water and cleaning solution into the carpet but we pulled precious little back into the dirty water chamber. It recently got to the point where we were running the carpet cleaner every other week and it still didn't feel any cleaner. The Agility may be lightweight and compact but that's about it as far as gold star performance.

So....I decided to go by a cleaner like the one we had about a year and a half ago. Bissell Pro Heat. I loved our last one but we worked that sucker hard for a few years and it started developing problems. Imagine my delight when I went into a discount place last week and saw a Pro Heat for $90. Sure, it's not the lastest, greatest model but it would do the job! And do it it did!!

WOW! The mucky, muddy water I pulled up (and so much of it was pulled back into the dirty water chamber! YAY!) was so rewarding. I would like to run it again soon to see about removing some more yuck but for now - I'm pretty happy.

And now I have an Agility cleaner to find a new home for. Any takers? It does a real craptastic job. :)
