Feedback About Wal-Mart Carpet Shampooers

I have an older model carpet shampooer and has no rotator brush. It just sprays out the water and sucks it back up. Can anyone tell me how good those shampooers are that you rent from Walmart (or the supermarkets) and do you have to buy the soap that goes with it? My friend swears by them, but she has no kids and her carpet isn't that dirty to begin with.

Thanks!
Kim

RE: Planning for Retirement

Move to Mexico. It's on the top ten list of best places in the world to retire and you won't need a zillion dollars to have a great life. Not only does the country offer cheap medical care, you can afford to live well on on a limited income such as a pension. So much better than you can in the US and Canada it makes the move not just worthwhile, but an opportunity to improve your life. It's a gorgeous country with a wonderful culture and most welcoming people. But get well south of Mexico City for the best that Mexico has to offer.

Practice having free or cheap fun. Join the Y. Shop at thrift stores, buy reduced or on sale groceries. Take vacations off season, learn to do more repairs yourself. Help others which helps yourself, stay healthy in mind and body. Share a positive outlook on life and make everyone happy. Smile, it's contagious. :>) Jill

It wasn't the walmart machine that was the problem, it was that the person who used the walmart machine rushed the job. Perhaps the renters just said they used it, but didn't.

RE: Feedback About Wal-Mart Carpet Shampooers

We had a renter that used a rented carpet cleaner machine from Wal-Mart - and it didn't pass inspection from our property manager. They in turn hired ServiceMaster to come out and re-steam clean the carpets and it was amazing how much more dirt they got out of the carpet! The renters had to pay to have it done twice...I guess it all depends on the situation but I just thought I'd pass this along.

RE: Feedback About Wal-Mart Carpet Shampooers

I have the same type of cleaner. I prefer that to the rotating brush which seems to destroy the carpet fibers. I use simple green, mr. clean, ammonia
or degreaser in my machine. One or two capfuls to a tank of water and it does a wonderful job.
Spot clean first with club soda and you'll be amazed.
