5 steps to budget Carpet cleaning

[karma]

Heres how to clean carpets on a tight budget

1~vacume...takes anywhere from 30min-hour

2~spray carpet with all-purpose cleaner/degreaser

3~scrub carpet with brush bought @ dollar store !!!

4~mist with water from spray bottle

5~**** up with shop vac

This is a good way to clean carpets without spending lots of money or using other methods which damage carpet and create mold. Dilute cleaner/degreaser to manufactures sugested ratio. I always add more water than recomended when diluting so its not as strong and saves more money!

When my extractor ( mytee lite II ) get in this will be a thing of the past for me. Hop this help someone.

That method works pretty decent, although blotting and scrubbing pulls up the stains better after vacuuming versus spraying and vaccuuming.

Im getting the mytee lite II from Detail King aka Detailking.com
Theyre priced good and you can buy a crevice tool to. the machine is $600 and the crevice tool with hose is $150. I dont use their chemicals or polishes because I only trust Meguiars but will be buying lots of tools from the i.e brushes extractor stuff of that nature.

What does it take to run an extractor like the one you are mentioning. Do you need special outlets to run it or does it plug into the regular 120v outlet?

Whut kinda dirt sucker are you using now? I have a small vacuum cleaner in the condo, not sure of the amperage, but it's pretty powerful. Think it would work?

That one your getting sounds trick but unfortunately it would

BLOW MY BUDGET

I hear alot of people say that if you don't have wiring seperately for a carpet extractor that you will blow fuses?

How much for shipping on that baby?

Aztec Link

I bought my machine from Aztec. It's a heated spotter, the detailer version and it came with the 16ft hose and detailer tool, and a 50 ft cord. Paid $599.95 plus $16.95 shipping. I'm not sure what detail king is offering for $600 but I'm sure its a similar machine. The regular heated spotter has a different tool and shorter hose and cord is $600 from Aztec.

There are some quirks to the machine though. First the solution tank must be filled to the top to lift the float to actuate the switch for the heater. Second quirk is The machine has 3 switch positions: Heat, Vacuum, and Off. So while in vacuum mode the heater is off. I'm not sure if other machines have these same interlocks but its no big deal. The water stays plenty hot while in the vacuum mode so don't worry about that.

I can post pics on request.
