Carpet Shampoo?

Comments

  • I use a fairy washing tablet in our vax upright, seems to do ok - I also rinse over with a bit of fabric softener too, smells better then!! I also overwet it to give the stuff time to act.

    My logic is, if I can wash a woollen/nylon garment with this stuff and wear it, ten I see no harm in treating my carpet the same - my jumper isnt left with a sticky residue that attracts dirt is it?
  • Stardrops for me too! You only need a little bit otherwise you get too many bubbles. We have a cheap recon'd Bissell and it works fine, not as good as a pro but as said about much cheaper and much more convenient.

    Check out the recon'd models and also the special offers on Bissell Direct - very good value http://www.bisselldirect.co.uk/products/reconditioned
