Sad, I know, but this is a job I love. 48-hour carpet cleaner hire, done the old folks place and our big (grubby) living room. Could grow spuds in the muck that's shifted. It makes me feel as if I have achieved something, job done, boxed off.

I'm with you on this one. I much prefer to clean things that are very dirty. Most satisfying!
It does make you shudder when you see the colour of the water though!
Mosaic, did you hire one of those machines that are on display in supermarkets?
I did'nt know you could hire them over a weekend. Are they easy to use?
Question Author
Yes - one of them - only I got it from B&Q, no problems over hiring time and very easy to use. It is heavy, but once 'on the floor' you don't need to lift it. It comes with a clip-on upholstery attachment with a very long hose, so these could do stairs. I think with stairs you'd have to do half from the ground floor and half from the landing, if you get my drift. But for pushing up and down a big room it's very simple and straightforward.
How long did it take for the carpets to dry out afterwards, Mosaic?
Question Author
I did the big room on Friday afternoon and it was dry enough to walk on straight away - very short pile carpet. The folks' flat has a deeper pile carpet and this felt damp to touch afterwards, but as they are away on hols it will be nicely dry when they get back. I did our big room again for good luck this morning before returning the beast, and with the sunshine it's dry now.
You've been lucky with the sunshine then. Good show.
Ah, I love using The Rug Doctor too :)
I was gobsmacked at the colour of the water each time I had to empty it... gross! It's worth the hassle though (not really 'hassle' but you know what I mean) as my carpets looked as good as new after. I'm going to make it a yearly thing now, as I was so shocked at the grubby water.

Well done on ticking something off the 'to do' list, but Sunday's are a day of relaxing, so go put your feet up and have a cuppa :)
