The continuing saga, "How long will it take Tink's Mom to shampoo the carpet?"
Fourth and final rest period. Moved Tinks crate to the bedroom, refilled the detergent tank, sprayed and extracted the carpet in front of the patio door, resprayed and extracted the area in front of the TV and the exercise bike. Resprayed and extracted the pathway to the kitchen and the dining room area in front of the kitchen. Removed and rinsed detergent tank. Removed and cleaned dirty reservoir. Dried everything off and laid on counter to dry. Removed brushes from cleaner, rinsed, shook dry and replaced them in the cleaner.
Laid down kitchen towels on the carpet to walk to bedroom (which hasn't been shampood yet except for doorway area). Collapsed onto orange chair to complete saga.
I am finished shampooing for today because I have no energy left and my head is pounding and my back is screaming. The bedroom will have to wait 'til next weekend.
OK, so how long was that? I think about 3 1/4 hours including short breaks. Not too bad considering everything there is to consider. The shampooer works quite well, the brushes do a good job of picking up the carpet and the suction is good and strong, it is easy to fill and empty. It gets a good review!
I'm laying down on the bed to rest for awhile and then I'm gonna find something to eat - besides pecan pie.
