I NEED a carpet cleaner because I am a clean freak! I don't want to rent one because knowing me I'll use my new carpet cleaner every week! So I have 4xdogs, 2x children (5&1yr) and one on the way. A husband that comes in from work like a dust monster,I already hover at least once a day but every room in my house has carpets, so I would really like an easy, light, not something like the rug doctor because I have little steps in quite a lot of places, Anyone out there, like me and in love with their carpet cleaner or have heard a carpet cleaner that is good for domestic use? Many thanks x
