Hi all,

I am wanting to buy a carpet/tile floor steam cleaner for my rugs and carpets.....since Murphy and Mia have decided to soil them (BAD BABIES...I KNOW).

Any one have any suggestions on which ones are good. I do not mind paying a high amount as long as it is a good machine and can get out the pet urine stains and odors.

Thanks!!

I have the Bissell 12 brush (2x the power) steam cleaner for the carpets, and I love it. I have a Hoover 5 brush cleaner for the tile and wood floor and I love that too. It saves a lot of wear and tear on my knees and back. Good luck

Hey Caren

I have a Hoover Steamvac and LOVE it! I shampoo the carpets about once a month (sometimes I let them go a little over that, but try not to). I WANT a Rug Doctor

They are AWESOME!!! They are around $600 or $700 though. Almost bought one a couple of months ago, but I decided not to since we are planning on putting in hardwood floors soon. My Steamvac does a great job though, I really do like it

P.S. - Sorry to hear that you are still having trouble with the two M&M's and their accidents in the house

OH thank you both....I am going to go look this weekend for one. Since I have never shopped for one before not sure what I am looking for so this will help me.

That Rug Dcotor Brooke sounds a little out of my price range - hee, hee!!

i have a hoover 6 brush. and when you go buy them, make sure you dont over pay for one. for example, some vendors say 12 brushes means 2x power(6 brushes x ), which is completely false. all you are doing is covering more area to clean. IF it was 2x power, then your running at ridiculous horsepwer which will probably destroy your carpet. do your research then buy one (I'm an engineer and don;t get fooled by the box)

I just purchased the spotbot http://www.bissell.com/Products/prod...=SpotBot%5FPet as I was having some issues with Bella, she was not feeling well and was having some accidents on my brand new carpeting

, I have a larger unit but it is huge and not very conveinent to take out everytime there was a small accident. So I purchased the spotbot and could not be happier with my purchase. It is so easy to use and really gets the carpets clean, I love it! I will save the big unit for when I do the full carpet cleaning and keep this little guy for the smaller accidents that may occur. Someday when I have human babies, I am sure this will come in handy too! I really recommend getting one!

LOL yeah - it's just a TAD bit on the expensive side

But my GOSH are they AWESOME!

You can rent them too (Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes) - they all have them. It's not much to rent them - but I can definitely understand you wanting to own your own steam cleaner...I'd be lost without mine!

Hey now....thats a really good idea. I did not think about having the little one for little jobs. HUMMMMM...I may have to wait on that one though - I really need to do my whole house first and can only afford one at this point.
