We don't have carpets any more (thank goodness!) except in one room, but when we did, we just rented a steam cleaner. When we need to clean the area rug, we use Bac-Out - it's an enzyme cleaner and gets everything out of the rug. We just spray on, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then blot up. Sometimes we have to treat 2 or 3 times, but when we're done, you can't tell there was a spot on the rug. Bac-Out also takes out smells completely. Spud, when he first adopted us, had to mark everything in the house. The first 6 months he was here, I think we went through 3 huge bottles of the stuff. Fortunately, he's feeling secure enough now that he's not marking. He drove us crazy for a while.

The only place I've seen it here is at our Food Co-op. It's by a company called Bi-O-Kleen based in Vancouver, WA. If you can't find it locally, you could go to their web site www.bi-o-kleen.com to see if you can order. It says to pour on the spot, but we just stick a spray bottle top on the bottle and spray it on. I love this stuff, and you can use it on laundry stains, too. I first used it after mom died to clean stains on her carpet, and I was sold! If you can't find it, let me know and I'll send you a bottle to try.

With my crew (cats, dawg, me, etc.) dragging in dirt, it became expensive to pay for professional carpet cleaning. (I have builders grade carpet & pad - in a year or so I'll need to replace and hope to find a good deal w/ extra padding b/c I like to play on the floor with my pets). Thus, about 2 years ago I purchased a Bissell Proheat 2X, which works well and easy to use. I clean my carpets about every other month and you'd be amazed at how much dirt comes out! Its a constant!
