Carpet Cleaning

stargazer 68

I am in my rented accomodation 9 years and the carpet is driving me nuts! It is beige and tightly woven - not sure what its called. But its obviously hard wearing which is why he put it down. However it holds any stains - no matter what. I have tried all sorts to clean it including rug doctor and the stains remain.

Anyone got any magic formulas?

Steam cleaning it maybe

Ask the landlord to replace it. You've been there nine years I reckon he owes you that.

If it's a cheap carpet, you wasting your time trying to clean it.
But if it's decent cleaning would work.
Renting 9 years, tried hounding landlord for new carpet?

Rent a carpet cleaner. Half scrubber, half vaccuum cleaner. I find they work quite well on that kind of hard wearing officey carpet.

I have already done that but might try it again. It's a good carpet - but it has been laid a**eways! Threads pulling at the edges etc.

The Tesco ones are not that cheap (and you pay extra for dedicated detergent) compared to paying somebody who cleans carpets for a living.
