Thankfully, my wife likes things clean and tidy, and we recently bought ourselves a Hoover SteamVac from Costco. Only a little over $200, and lemme tell ya, well worth the money. Easy to assemble, easy to use... we became horrified and relieved at the same time when we made our first pass at our carpet. While we vacuum at least weekly in our house, check this out: That brackish water in the container you see is the muck pulled from our carpet. Horrified and relieved, I tell you. We've determined to do this at least every 6 months. It's cool to have the tools to be able to accomplish this ourselves, and for not a lot of expense or time. |
