It was that time of year again to get the carpets cleaned. I checked with several carpet cleaning companies that use the hot water extraction method and most wanted between $200-$300 to clean the carpets in my house! Being a do-it-myselfer, I decided to purchase a carpet cleaner myself and tackle the job. I did extensive internet research about which cleaner was the best, and this cleaner was consistently ranked the highest. Amazon reviews also held a lot of water for me.

I was still getting dirty water (and the water that was sucked back up into the tank was a bit sudsy). I plan on going back over the carpets until the water runs clear and there are no suds. My second tip is to pass the cleaner over the area slowly. I found that I extracted more dirt when I did this. It seems c
