Go for it. Carpet cleaners come along, wash your carpets, remove filthy dirty grime (it doesn't matter how clean we are) the results are usually brilliant.

What is it about carpets that brings out all the spammers?

And I suspect that Sanjay is a carpet manufacturer - his link goes to one in India.

Reported!

hate carpet they are germy things what ever you do especially when you have kids and pets, a pretty hard floor is much nicer, and are not cold like the old lino

If you are a real poster who has had good service from a company, that is fine. If you are a salesman or advertiser butting in to a thread to push your firm or product, you will get deleted and given the bum's rush gently told to push off.

That also applies to those anonymous posters who pop up with weird usernames to gush about a product and then vanish until they come back under a different name to gush again. GNHQ have ways to check their credentials.

Hi, seen a couple of people had their posts removed due to breaking rules, so not sure if you can recommend a company or not. Not sure what area you are in, but if it's Southeast/Kent I can recommend a company I've been using for years. Price reasonable, quick drying and no smell that I've noticed. I have a dog and he doesn't sneeze or anything afterwards and the carpets can be walked on soon afterwards. Example of price, around £60 for a room 30ft x 12ft. Depends on level of grubbiness but he really can get virtually ANY stains off. On the website one of the carpets as his before and after, is a pic of my rental flat after someone left it in a dreadful state. Though would be new carpets but Wayne managed to bring them up really well. I was astonished. Link is below. Company is Fabric and Fibre based in Bexley but covers a fairly wide area.

We're planning to do our carpets in April after decorating and have been recommended Rug Doctor. Checked it out at our local hardware shop and you can hire the machine for £29 for two days/weekend. You pay extra for the shampoo. My OH has been asking round at work and loads of people have been saying how good this is and one person is actually going to buy a RD machine - about £500!!! - because she has dogs and wants to clean regularly. No-one has commented on strange scent afterwards

Soutra I reported a post just a while ago on this same thread and then realised it was from early last year,shows how observant I am to-day

Do people really get as "excited" about vacuum cleaners as the spammers seem to think? They confuse forum chat with advertising blurbs. Talk about overkill.

Too much of a good thing easonlin -reported BTW

I am so excited about this A325 robotic vacuum cleaner! I have been wanting to get one for quite a long time

I stick to the same people have the carpets cleaned on a fairly regular basis and they draw the sweet out. The carpets can be walked on almost immediately.

had ours done last week (a rug + two sofas & footstool) Clean but no smell!

I had the hall and living room cleaned professionally in the end. Used a company that dried the carpet very quickly and am very pleased with the result. Although the parts most walked on are still a different colour to the other bits [they said before I used them not to expect the carpet to look totally good as new] I now know it's clean. The hall doesn't look quite as good, being a light coloured carpet. No after smell at all and I was delighted with the work. Lesson to be learned is that I realised my living room carpet is very good quality and, after being down for more years than I can remember in a house with children, dogs, cats and then grandchildren, is still good as new, and has been fitted very well [chap from the cleaning company said to stick with the carpet fitter I use as he's never seen a better job done anywhere]. Hall was possibly a bit of a mistake as it's starting to go in places and will need replacing at some point. I know my daughter buys cheap and replaces regularly, but the good quality one is worth it now I know they can clean up really well. wisewoman; I'd be interested to know how much you were charged, because I paid what seemed like an awful lot. I had cheaper quotes but they said the rooms would tale a day or so to dry properly which didn't seem like a good idea with the weather being so damp [could you pm me ?].

The scent might be a big issue indeed, but it can be concealed when exposing to sunshine for several time after be cleaned.

I've got a Vax Spin Scrub. I suspect that cleaning solution attracts dirt in the long term, so I just use hot water and it's very effective - hoover thoroughly first - carpets always come up looking lovely and clean. I don't know, though, how effective it would be if they were very grubby.

I just had my lounge and hall carpet cleaned this week. They did a great job and there were no smells at all.
