What Is The Best Reasonably Priced Carpet Cleaner?

I have two dogs and two young boys who track in lots of dirt, spill things and a puppy who still has accidents from time to time. I usually have my carpets cleaned professionally, but I would like to try to save a little money and do it myself. Any recommendations on a good carpet cleaner?

I have a Hoover steam cleaner and I like it but, I really believe that once we clean our carpets ourselves with any of the commercial ‘shampoos’ for carpets that they seem to attract more dirt and stains. When carpeting is new, it has scotch guard or other product on it to help prevent stains and repel dirt. Once we shampoo the carpet, we remove some or all of that protectant.

I like Woolite shampoo for steam cleaners the best but with pets, I use many of the different products used that is supposed to be more efficient at removing pet odors.

well, for spot treatments, i would suggest resolve.. my aunt used it one time when her daughter got stawberry jelly on her white carpet.. she just sprayed it on, and scrubbed it, and it was totally gone…
for a whole room, u can get this stuff made by bissell… its a foam that you spray on your carpet, you let it dry, and vacumm it up… its supposed to get out surface dirt and stains, as well as make the room smell really good..
