Can you use one of those carpet cleaners or do you need to use a steam cleaner if so how do you scrub the stain out of the fabric or does the steam just do it? Bought a used sofa that didn’t see all the stains on it until we got home.

When my carpets are cleaned at first, they are perfectly clean and I have a friend who owns a carpet company who doesn’t just steam clean the carpets. After a few months, the same stains seem to re-emerge from where they were before as if they were cleaned on the surface but re-surfaced.

I have 2 cats where I have cleaned hairballs, and a lot of throwing up, and I think that’s what the stains are from. I use the MIracle stuff for cat stains/odors and it seems to work at first, but again they come up especially in the hallway upstairs.

The rest of my my carpets are not bad, even after a year. I take good care of them and keep them as clean as possible but these round stains in various places make it look really bad! How can I make them go away permanently. I’m tired of hiring expensive carpet cleaners where they look great for a month or so; then these same spots seem to come back plus additional hairballs which I try to catch as soon as I can.

Thanks.

Alright, so again you have probably seen my story a million times on here. Our cat peed in my room, but I don’t have to worry about that anymore because the cat has been moved. I didn’t know where the smell has been coming from for about 5 months, so I couldn’t treat it. Then I found a HUGE cat pee stain in my closet. I had to eventually cut out the carpet in my closet because nothing worked. Natures Miracle, Resolve, professional cleaners, baking soda, vinegar, nothing worked. It can’t get into the padding because it has a plastic cover on it, or something like that to protect it. I also treated another area that had cat pee, which was under my TV on the wall. It was in a straight line under my TV almost like getting under the wall. I treated that the same, for months, and finally the smell started to fade. Then all I smelt was those cleaning products. All the time. So I got so sick of it that I pulled up that part of the carpet to look at it, and there are huge stains on the carpet, some of them even BROWN. It’s so nasty. And then I found even more cat pee spots on the right of my bed, and I don’t even want to try anything, because nothing works. But today my stepdad got the carpets steam cleaned, all of them. I thought it would be okay now, but no. It’s still there. And it’s never going to go away now unless I get a new carpet. I have asked and asked and it looks like I am never going to get a new carpet. I think there are really some health problems that that could cause, being around it all the time, breathing it in. Also, I have a pet bird, and he has to breath it in all the time too. So I don’t know what to do.

Hi,
have been periodically scrubbing at it but really don’t want to risk unravelling the fibers.
it’s a tan carpet and a light brown circle.
are there any carpet cleaners that will not cause color issues, and will work on old stains?
how good is a steam cleaner? where do i rent one? how much?
which is better, the stain remover or the steam cleaner?
Thanks!

ps, have tried vinegar, and oxiclean bleaches this carpet. it’s very humid here now and i don’t want to grow mold or mildew so i hesitate at dumping a pile of hot water on it with no way to dry it – no hair drier, no dehumidifier, just towels.

I have a microfiber couch which I bought because its easy to clean…have gotten stains/spills out easily. The problem is I have a black lab that finds its way onto the couch no matter how many times I tell him to get down. Now my couch smells HORRIBLE and I use a throw over it temporarily until I can clean it. Im thinking of steam-cleaning it but I dont know whats good (and not too overpriced—Im on a budget).PLEASE give me advise!!!!! I cant take the smell anymore!

I have a gown that is a couple years old. Over time it has gotten a dingy look to it. There aren’t really stains, just an overall darkening of color (maybe yellowing).

The tag says not to apply heat or steam and NOT to dry clean. The only option it gives is to spot clean with cold water and mild soap.

But I need to clean the whole dress, so I don’t know how to apply those rules to cleaning the entire thing. I’m really afraid of ruining the dress trying to figure this out on my own and I don’t trust the dry cleaners around here as I’ve had clothes ruined before.

The dress is 100% silk and 100% polyester (lining and beaded overlay)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thank you!!

When we moved in 2 months ago there were a few stains on the carpet, but otherwise it looked clean. I vacuum once a week just on principle I like to walk on clean carpet. However, I got a puppy for christmas and she’s already mostly house broken. We’ve just had maybe 3 or 4 accidents. I noticed she went on the stained parts of the carpet. Our carpet is a medium brown color and the stains are just a little darker so I wasn’t too worried and noted it on my move in check list. As I was cleaning the accidents, I noticed quite a bit of dirt coming up also. I wanted to steam clean, but I know that some steam cleaners actually soak the carpet which can cause the carpet to not get completely dry in some areas leading to mold or rotting. I’m not sure what to do because it’s killing the neat freak in me that the floor is so icky. We were told that it had been professionally steam cleaned prior to us moving in, but that seems highly doubtful. Any ideas on how or what I should use to clean my carpet? I’m kind of on a tight budget so the best for the cheapest price would be great.

I have a silk dress which has been stained by alcohol.
I took it to the dry cleaners and most of the stains have been removed but there are still water-mark like stains on the dress.
Is there any way that I can get these out? The label says do not spot clean/do not steam.

I’m in need of a carpet cleaner for home use. Heavy stains on the carpet seem to be a reoccuring nightmare. I hired some local steam cleaners to come out and do the carpets and they looked great but it was like 125 bucks. What’s a good model to get and where at? Regular carpet shampooer or steam?
