Carpet Cleaning Extravaganza

We decided one Friday that it was high time we gave our carpets the full cleaning they have been missing out on. We hit up the Home Depot tool rental center, which I highly recommend for getting yourself a power tool for cheap rent for different amounts of time. We rented the industrial carpet cleaner with the upholstry attachment for $27 for 24 hours.

Before the renting and the deep clean, there was the prep work. The office and guest bedroom were cleaned out and everything was moved into the library or a non-carpeted area. Everything from our bedroom was moved into the living room. We didn't rent the giant blowers to help dry the carpets, so we had to camp out in the living room to let everything keep drying. Sunday morning we moved everything out of the library and got that cleaned up last.

The cleaner worked out very well. It is nice to have somewhat clean floors...though even the greatest carpet scrubber out there wouldn't be able to get out all the crap that the previous owners put into the carpet.
