its fantastic!! Our lounge carpet was disgusting with a mixture of all kinds of terrible stains. We only realised how bad it was when we moved the furniture out last night and saw the original colour. But the gentleman cleaning them has just showed me the result and it is amaxing , back to brand new!

He is upstairs at the moment doing the bedrooms and I cant wait to see the results. Is it v sad tobe this excited over clean carpets!?

Did you have to move all the furniture out??? Glad you are happy with it

How much?!!!

I have a DIY carpet cleaner but its ok for day to day grime but some stains just wont shift with it.

Only need the hall and living room done, upstairs are quite new.

Am watching this with interest, I have a polyprop carpet in the lounge and it is dire with stains.

I have a bissell carpet which gets the dirt out but not the stains.

My carpet cleaner is only a vax but we do the carpet at least once a month and the water still comes out a very dark brown!!

Last week, I was determined to get the dirt out of the entrance hall bit. The space I was cleaning was tiny, about 1 metre by 2/3 meters and I just went over and over it and used 3 tanks of water and it was still coming out dark brown . Shows how much dirt was in there! ANd it didn't look THAT bad considering it was a cream carpet. DH had only washed it the week before too.

We have a vax too. I'm in the middle of doing the lounge right now. So far it's looking gooood and i've got rid of all sort of yuk including lots of stinky yoghurt stains. But i imagine it would look even better done by a professional cleaner. Not really worth it yet with a 3.5yr and 12 month old though

I had someone in to do our rugs and stair runners, they totally changed colour it was disgusting the amount of crap that came out.
