Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

Time for a carpet cleaning. Some use steam, some use chemicals, some use brushes and cleaner. Any advice?

I am also looking for a good carpet cleaner. Please post here if you've had your carpets cleaned and are happy with the results. ;D

We've used Stanley Steamer twice in the last 18 months.
Once when we moved in and once after a 4 day visit by relatives with 6 children under 12.
Stanley was reputable, reliable, professional & did a great job.

I used the services of ECO-POWER+ and Scott Brown (352-552-3026). With 23 years of experience and some ultra impressive new hi tech equipment, this owner operator walks the talk. Not only did he restore the newness to our carpets, but we found him to be very knowledgable and helpful. It was the best carpet cleaning job we have ever had.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to you based on the quality workmanship I have observed.

fiddle, would you care to share cost and how many rooms? Maybe we can get a half a dozen TOTV'ers to sign up and get a group discount to boot....Thanks

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

Alm: I looked in the phone book and there are a bunch of Stanley Steamers. Is it the one in Leesburg that you used? Do you have a telephone number?

Thanks Fiddlemyre, I will contact Scott Brown for a phone quote.

Golfnut: Good idea about a TOTV group discount; I bet that could apply to a lot of things.

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

Before I moved to TV I had a really bad experience with Stanley Steamer so cannot bring myself to use them again. Beware--they are big with bait and switch.

Hi,

We used Stanley Steamers. We had no problems.

Cost was $248 to clean, deodorize and stain proof the carpet. We have a 1392 square foot Designer Home and everything except the kitchen and bathrooms are carpeted. They even cleaned inside the closets.

We knew what the cost would be before they arrived - competed an on line form

Hope2b .. Can you explain what you mean about Stanley Steamer bait and switch???
They gave me an estimate on the phone and are coming Monday to clean my carpets. Hope it's the same people Hyacinth used and recommends.

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

Since they had no problem with Stanley Steamer here I should have kept my mouth shut. It was back in the olden days before we had computers. There was an ad for $99 whole house. I told them that was what I wanted because this was a rental. They came out and kept after me about needing extra treatments. Being young and gullable I gave in to many of the extras. They were so excited that they talked me into more services that they ran into a tree on the way out of my driveway and Never did stop.

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

Hope, funny story!

Stanley Steamer seemed quite professional on the telephone and gave me a choice of two prices, one for cleaning and another if you choose to add a protective agent. They say they give a guarantee and will return if you're not happy and do it again. I'll post my happiness level on tuesday!

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

Ditto what fiddlemyre said. Scott did an excellent job and corrected some of the less than professional installation areas left by TV quickie installation. I will have him back and highly recommend his service.

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

Used Stanley Steamer when I first got here. Was very unhappy. I could have done a better job with my Bissell. I called them back and they did redo it, including moving sofa this time around but I still would not use them again.

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

I used Scott Brown also. And I agree that he did a tremendous job on our carpets. I would definitely use him again.

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

I have had several. I like ICS the best.

Re: Are there any good Carpet Cleaners out there?
 

I also used SS and wouldn't use them again. They used a "special finish" on my carpet that doubled the price of the job. Instead of repelling dirt, it attracts it. :dontknow:

Excellent cleaner - Steammasters, Fruitland Park 352-874-3530 - charged $75 for three ROOMS (not 'areas') The best carpet cleaning job we've had (and we have tried several) Told all our neighbors! We also had 'teflon' applied - $15 per room.

Need help with dog spot professional cleaner
 

Hi Gang,
My VILLAGES carpet looks and wears great. However, MY DOG JACKIE got sick & POOPED on it- After trying to clean it I have 2 YELLOW spots. Please suggest a professional cleaner. Thanks- CARIBBEAN AL

Get a spray can of Spot Shot and saturate it. Then leave it on for a few minutes and absorb it with an old rag. It will take out any stain and not harm the carpet. You can get it at grocery or Sams Club.

Thanks-I'll try it

Bob Thatcher, husband of Billie Thatcher who sings in TV and Village Residents, cleans carpets and does a superior job. His phone is 406-3866.

We used SteamMasters and were most pleased with thier service, honesty & integrity. Tim spent a lot of time at our place doing a fabulous job and reasonably priced, too! I'd call them and you won't be disappointed. They stand behind the work they do! 352-874-3530

I highly recommend New England Property Maintenance, Gary Easton, 352-396-5383.

I have used a product for small areas called "Capture". I found at a Home Depot or a Lowe's. It is a dry powder. Simply Pre-Moist with special product that comes either in the box or separate. Sprinkle the dry solution all over and rub in with a brush on a long handle. Wait and vacuum. They also have a dry powder spot remover that comes with a brush, sprinkle, lightly brush and vacuum. The product work awesome on small projects. It keeps the rug from getting wet and does not act like a magnet for soil after cleaning. Have used on almost all spills, stains, accidents by animals and grand children.

Just had my carpets cleaned today by steve of lotto carpet cleaning. He did an excellent job. Was quick (1 hour) and reasonable ($50). He did 3 bedrooms and an area rug. He is a villager. Phone #352-552-5418

Ditto on Steve. We have around 1400 sf of carpet. He did all the carpet, did the tile in the kitchen, and cleaned the upholstery on a sofa, loveseat, and recliner. Total cost was $140. He got out some stains that I thought were permanent.

Another recommendation for Steve.....did our CYV carpets today.

Best Stain Remover on the Planet!
 

Best carpet stain remover I have ever used, especially for pets, is "Nature's Miracle" available at PetSmart/PetCo. It removes all stains, all smells. You name it, it removes it. Wonderful stuff.

By the way, we have a wonderful carpet cleaner we are going to sell. It is the kind you can rent at various places. We used it in our home before we moved here just a few times so it is like new, and works well! (we have tile floors here in TV).

It is a Rug Doctor Mighty Pro. Let me know if you are interested! $375.

Thanks to this site for finding us Steve. Awesome job today and Awesome price.

Steve just left my house and did a wonderful job! $49 for a three bedroom cottage!! Couldn't be happier.Highly recommend Steve!

bump!!

I bought a Hoover carpet cleaning machine for several hundred dollars some years ago with brushes on the bottom, it does an awesome job and is easy to use. Uses hot water besides the special detergent, once you make a few passes with the detergent and brushes, you go back with the hot water button on, it sucks up all liquid and dirt, you will be amazed how much dirt you will pull out of the carpet yourself.

While getting our house up north ready for sale...we knew we'd need to have the carpet cleaned. We called Stanley Steamer and yes they will try to sell you the "up-grades" on the package. I didn't feel they were particularly over-bearing and stuck with what the ad had said. We were very satisfied. One thing though and they told us this would be the case too...the high-traffic areas that are worn down and have more soil will never look like it did when it is new. I expected that would be the case. Also our carpet was very light and it was obviously clean and brightened after the cleaning.

Down here...Steve's business seems to be a good one to go with by all the reports on here. Will have to remember that!

Carpet cleaning...
 

I used Steve Burstock from Lotto Carpet Cleaning last week ....
He is a delight and does a great job! He does NOT move the big furniture--but, that was okay with me. He only charged $59 and did four rooms!
At that rate--I can have him out again this year! The carpet will wear out before he does--that is FOR SURE!

Would like to know how you like them? I am looking for a good carpet STEAM cleaning business. Thank you!!!!!

Ecco Power
 

Ecco Power is pretty pricey. Is it really worth it? Any other recommendations?
Thank you.

Couch cleaning....
 

i am looking for a profressional cleaner to clean some stains on my new couch!
Any tips?

Thanks,

Based on several favorable comments on this site, we recently used Scott Brown at Eco Power Plus (352-552-3026) and had wonderful results. We've been in our home for two years and have had the carpets cleaned twice before but never with the results we had with Scott Brown. He and his wife, Carla, moved all the furniture and took several hours to do the complete job. They even rolled up and cleaned large area rugs to clean the carpet beneath and then replaced the area rugs. When they finished, the carpet was dry within an hour.

We have two small dogs and had even considered putting in wood or laminate floors. However the carpet now looks like new and replacing the carpets is no longer a consideration for us. In the future we won't use anyone else.

Does Eco Power also clean furniture?
Thanks,
