Clean Again

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on June 3, 2009

Before…

Dirty, filthy carpets

All this gunk was in our carpets…

carpet gunk

After a deep cleaning…

Clean, at last!

You think maybe we should stop renting the Rug Doctor and just buy one already? Yuck!

angie June 3, 2009 at 6:28 am

I guess there is a perk to hiring a carpet guy. Then you don’t know just how dirty your carpet is. :)

I own a carpet cleaner. :)

Jennifer June 3, 2009 at 7:11 am

EEEEW!! But you know what? I’m sure most of our carpets have that much dirt in them. It’s pretty amazing how ours looks when we clean them!

Sara Bonds @ Ordinary and Awesome June 3, 2009 at 7:24 am

Yowza! We have four indoor pet children, so I would hate to see what mine would look like. The before and after is amazing. There is a huge difference.

Happy WW from Sara @ the Mostly Wordless Wednesday H.Q.!

Felicia June 3, 2009 at 7:37 am

Wow! That is amazing. I am thinking we may need to rent one as well. We have carpet in our basement but hardwood on our main floor. That is amazing!

Toni @ The Mud Bug June 3, 2009 at 7:55 am

Ewww…gross. Although, I can’t really say anything as our carpets look like that every time we shampoo ours. We have 5 kids and a dog.

Staci A June 3, 2009 at 8:05 am

Icky! I’m not sure I’d want to see what would come out of ours!

Bridget June 3, 2009 at 8:11 am

Oh my carpets need a good cleaning SO bad. The sad thing is they will get one before we move in a few weeks but I won’t get to enjoy it!

Your before picture looks pretty gross, you reminded me that we really needed to clean our carpets as well. I looked at your post then glanced at our living room floors and decided to go rent a Rug Dr. So, last night that is just what I did and am now enjoying clean carpets once again! Thanks for the reminder! Your carpets look great now!
