Carpet Cleaning Sunday

Whatever happened to Sunday being a day of rest?  I decided early this morning that I was going to clean the carpets so , I headed up to Lowes to rent a Rug Doctor.  I had so much laundry that I could have been doing but I couldn’t bare to look at my carpets any longer.

It was my intention to have a carpet cleaning service come out, but the reality is that it costs a lot more money than doing it ourselves.  To my surprise the blue crayon came out of our area rugs, so I am very happy about that.

One little beef I have about Rug Doctors is that the cleaning solution they sell to you is horribly expensive for a half gallon of cleaner it cost you just as much at the rental!  I’m like are they for real?  Not only that you have to supposedly by this anti-foam stuff to put in the water recovery tank which cost more money.  It is a total gouging, so I wised up.  I went into Lowes, and rented the rug doctor, but I visited the cleaning aisle and found industrial strength/commercial carpet shampoo with a deodorizer for $9.00!  Normally I will get two bottles of Rug Doctor stuff and be out the money, but I wont fall for that anymore.  Not only that, the anti foam stuff is a crock if you buy low foam carpet shampoo you have no foam at all to speak of.

Seriously, what a way to rip people off!  No bottle of soap or shampoo/cleaner for your carpet should cost $20! The unit cost $26 to rent….what a rip!
