After saying for 3 months that I was going to schedule a carpet cleaning and never doing it, decided yesterday that since our sunny, warm weather was coming to an end, we would rent the "machine" and do it ourselves...Herb made a trip to Joseph Hardware, while I vacumed over and over...Our carpet has been down for over 20 years and except for the dining area it still looks good...So that is where we concentrated our efforts...I used an entire bottle of spot remover, doing the pre spotting as suggested in the directions...(Those little spills around the table, just grow and grow.) We finished up about noon, enough for one day anyway...Opened doors and windows, put a heater with fan in the doorway and both went outside for a break...Herb worked on repairing the fence, I got the wheelbarrow and picked up limbs and other debris from around the yard.
Cleaned out the fridge for dinner, each of us taking a plate to the living room and Herb declaring it was better than a gourmet dinner...Whoa, he must have worked up an appetite...By 4pm we closed the doors, brought chairs back inside and the carpet looks decent this morning...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
