filthy carpets

can anyone aqdvise please?

recently moved into a house that was allocated by the council but is rented through a housing association. The carpets are filthy and seconds after getting out of the shower you have black feet. It is temporary housing and therefore even if i could get permission to replace the carpets i could be wasting my money.

I want to have a good go at cleaning them although again don't want to waste money. The thing is the housing association had the carpets professionally cleaned before offering the property so I don't want to pay someone to do it if it is going to work.

I used to have a steam cleaner which i found quite good but it was never used on anything bad, only slight marks. I don't know whether to buy another steam cleaner, especially as these can clean windows, cookers etc too or whether a vax would be better or whether a wash and dry vacuum cleaner would work or whether nothing would work as it is so bad

Any ideas?

Oh and the kitchen lino is very bad too, although also has cigarette burns so obviosly can't improve lino that much!

We just recently hired a carpet cleaner, it was £33 for 24 hours and did a great job.

Morrisons have "Rug Doctor" machines for hire. Supposed to be very good.

Rug DR is very good.

We hire one out about twice a year.

It's a bit heavy but cleans really deeply (we have cream carpets.

Gonna hire one next week to do the downstairs.
