I am looking at getting the lounge and hallway cleaned before bubs #3 arrived (in 4 weeks) but don't want to fork out big dollars on a commercial clean.
So has anyone tried this? What did you think? Also, does the carpet take long to dry? Thanks!

| We have, the water comes out looking revolting so it must do a bit of cleaning. It got some stains out of the carpet but not all. Ours is usually dry in a day but it depends how many times you go over it. |

Works great and as kebakat said the water is brown when you're finished and same with the stains. If you have a dehumdifier you can dry the carpet quicker. My mum used a company and it wasn't anywhere near as pricey as I would have thought. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We have used one before, it's quite easy and gets heaps of dirt out! -------------

I use one everytime I have moved house!! Is great, and not hard to operate....last time we moved I was 31 weeks pregnant and did the whole house myself...including the edges with the extra attachment thingy.
It can make your house smell a bit funky for a bit (usually until the carpet is dry) but it does a good job on getting them clean. Older more stubborn stains and high traffic areas don't always come out, but do improve!! |

We've used one heaps of times and plan on using it again this weekend in the bedrooms/hallway (living room was not long done)... It's amazing the difference it makes!!
I don't bother with their soaps though, we just use wool wash, which I find leaves everything smelling a lot nicer, and seems to clean just as well! |
