Carpet Cleaning

[Guest guest]

It's probable that " environmentally-friendly carpet cleaning " is an oxymoron,

unfortunately.

This is especially true for soggy carpet! The best thing you could do for your

family is find a

recycler for used carpet and put in a really nice non-endangered wood floor (or

other solid

flooring. You can do wonders with paint, varnish and some technique, right on

bare concrete

(see the floor at the MVV farm store for an example!) and this costs 1/10 of

what one carpet

cleaning would cost.

If you go back into the archives of the Star and Trib and find the article by

Karin Winegar

entitled something like THE HORROR THAT IS IN YOUR CARPET, you will see my

point.

Carpeting probably accounts for more allergies and chronic health problems than

diet alone

could ever cure. It's a JUNGLE down there! Mold, fungus, dander, human skin,

toxins, myriad

allergy particles and house mites. Yipes! Your health (and that of your pets

and kids) will

thank you!

Wear masks and big rubber gloves and have a carpet ripping party. Be sure to

send it to the

new carpet recycling place.

I had a bad experience with a carpet in a van. Out of sheer desperation I

finally used Miracle II plain soap mixed with neutralizer and left it wet

over night. The following morning I sucked it out with a wet dry vac. The

carpet came out really clean, odor free, and soft. If anyone is interested

in details call me 763-757-3661.

Hi All,

Question for those who have conquered these demons in the carpet. What would

you suggest for using as a solution in the carpet cleaner? My carpet cleaner is

an upright Hoover and I don't want to clog it but could use some advice as to

the best solution to kill these things in a " clean and kill " solution. Thanks

all! God Bless you all in your daily battles, too!
