After getting new carpet installed in our home a few years ago, I have used many cans of different chemical cleaning products to clean spots on our carpet. It never seemed to do a very good job and sometimes made even more spots on it. I recently went to a business that specialized in cleaners and cleaning services. They advised me to use a steam cleaner, if I wanted to rent one and do it myself, so I did. I was amazed how well it looked and how fresh it smelt after I was done. The machine I rented was a vapor steam cleaner. The vapor steam cleaner is a cleaner that uses only water, and no chemicals. They sell steam cleaners in vacuum style for carpets and also mop styles for linoleum. I will never use any canned products, or other carpet cleaning machines you can rent in other stores, where you have to put in a solution containing some special soap and chemicals. I am now thinking of buying my own steam cleaner, since it does such a great job of cleaning, removing spots and stains, kills dust mites, mold, germs and so much more. I can then use it whenever I want without renting one and I’m sure I will get my money’s worth by doing so.
