I was reminded recently just how much I love my carpet cleaner. My two cats seem to enjoy throwing up anywhere they please, the stains difficult to get out. I pulled out my carpet cleaner and cleaned the carpet in our main living room while watching television last weekend. Replacing the carpet in just that one room would cost over $1000, having it professionally cleaned around $100, but with my own carpet cleaner I paid only for a $5 bottle of detergent.
Fist pump for carpet cleaners and my favorite posts of the week!

I understand it is a one-time cost, but how much was it for the carpet cleaner?
Great question, Kevin – I bought mine for right around $200. I’ve had this particular one for over 10 years, and use it a couple of times a year. While it is a fairly significant one time cost, the cost per use goes down over time and it’s way more convenient than ripping out your carpet or hiring a professional carpet cleaner.
I need to buy one! Could you recommend a particular brand?
Thank you.
