Regarding the carpets -- Villette, have you considered renting a Rug Doctor from your local grocery store? I just went through our house using boiling hot water a week or so ago with one from Pathmark in preparation for summer. We had a small flea problem last summer & I read somewhere that the eggs can actually hibernate for a YEAR in carpeting!!! The Rug Doctor was 18 bucks on sale and totally worth every dollar. You can use boiling water from the stove. Totally worth it.
