My Gawd - Kirby Vacuum salesman

[Warpy]

1. Dunno about rug cleaners, I just roll the homemade ones up

and cart them over to the laundromat. The Axminster gets a professional cleaning once every 10 years because it's wool. It will skip the next 10 years because with a geriatric cat, I have not been able to use it. The supermarkets around here rent cleaners for wall to wall and maybe they do in your area, too, check it out.

However, for my kitchen and bathroom, I finally caved and got a Hoover floor scrubber that spits hot, soapy water, scrubs the floor and then vacuums the mess into another container for dumping. I can't praise that highly enough, it's a wonderful gadget and worth every cent I paid for it. It's one cave to my overall gimpiness that I don't regret.
