Does anyone own their own shampooer? I have a Bissell Pro Heat Deep Cleaner and I love it. How often do you shampoo? Having pets I have to do it more often than I like, they have accidents and tend to spit up hairballs all the time (even with hairball remedy food and meds). I need to shampoo the carpets either today or tomorrow seeings how my house is getting smelly  |

The carpet manufacturers will tell you that they advise to clean as little as possible. I clean my carpets twice a year, and spot clean in between. I prefer to have hard wood and hope to have it thru out my home one day.

Oops Ellise, forgot to say that I don't own a carpet cleaner. I rent mine from Wal*Mart once a year and the other time I call in the big guys...

Ellise, can you point me to the thread about possible dampness under the house, please?

I have 3 LOL. One is an upright that I use for the actual shampooing, another I have is a canister type that I use for rinsing and then I have a small spot cleaner. This is the 2nd spot cleaner one I have bought over the years as it gets the most workout. LOL And yes pets make messes just like small (and big) kids do. I only actually all over shampoo 2x a year also, but like Car would love my hardwood floors back. We covered ours for 2 reasons, one we couldn't refinish them and they needed it badly. Not enough depth left to the flooring to do this and then of course for the warmth.

I have a Bissel Pro heat as well. I haven't used it this year yet.. My carpets look so bad right now. ugh. I usually try to do it every 6mo or so. I didn't feel up to it this spring being preggers and all, and so far I haven't gotten around to doing it this fall. Maybe this week. hmmm....
