Re: How to Save Money
I am shampooing my carpets today. A few years ago I bought my own shampooer. It has already paid for itself. I used to rent shampooers to do this. Back then it was about $40.00 for a day's rental (plus the headache of picking it up and feeling like I HAD to do all of my house in one day). I paid $80.00 for this shampooer (It was a demo model.) Granted, it doesn't clean as well as industrial ones but I do it more often. I love having one!

Sure! It might be cheaper to buy one than drive here though!

Re: How to Save Money
Oh, BTW, I got the carpet shampoo free in a freebie box at a garage sale this summer!

FYI - powder TIDE works really well in carpet cleaners. We bought a Rug Doctor a couple of years ago and used TIDE once out of necessity - best the carpets ever looked.
And it smelled so good too LOL

Awesome! I wonder if other detergents would work. I have some dye free, perfume free stuff since we have allergies here.
