I'm getting sick of this I want a vac that really picks up hair and dosen't stop sucking (or would it be that it starts sucking? Anyways, we are on a super tight budget. We are getting a tax return, and we've decided to set aside $200 for a new vac and $100 to get the carpets cleaned. However, in doing some research online I've come to find that you can buy your own steam cleaner for around $100. Sounds a lot better to me than paying to rent a cleaner every so often and rushing to move furniture so that we can get the whole house done in 24 hours so as not to be charged for a second day...
This is what I'm thinking... For a vac, I've singled out the Bissel Pet Hair Eraser. vacum cleaner untuk mobilFor the steamer, I'm looking at the Bissel 2080. hoover vacuum cleaner gameDose anyone have either of these? car vacuum cleaner ace hardwareI've read many mixed reviews about the Bissel Pet Hair vac but for my price range it seems to be the best option. I've read that Dyson makes the best pet hair vac, but there's no way I can shell out the nearly $600 for it. Those of you that have the Bissel vac, dose it have any filters or other parts that need to be replaced regularly? How well dose it work for edging? How long dose it last? Dose it *really* suck up all that hair? Finally, as the owner of a very sheddy dog, should I simply expect to have to replace the vac every year?

One pound of of Capture Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner cleans 100 square feet. The Kit is enough to clean most traffic lanes in homes todays. One pound of C Should I wait until my carpet shows soiling before I have it cleaned?Regular maintenance with Capture can help maintain the new look of your carpet.  Allowing dry soils to build up in the carpet pile scars pile fiber allowing it to take on a dull, dirty hue.
This permanent fiber damage will give the impression of soiling even after carpet cleaning. Is it possible to clean my carpet too often? Will dry carpet cleaning destroy my soil-resist or stain-resist treatment?It's not necessary to reapply stain resistant treatments after every carpet cleaning. However, foot traffic can destroy some soil resisting treatments. Soil and stain resisting treatments should be reapplied after every two to three carpet cleanings, if the carpet is cleaned regularly. Carpet that is not professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months may require a stain resistant treatment after each carpet cleaning. Can I use Capture on my sofa, chairs or other upholstery? Capture Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner works great on sofa, chairs, upholstery - even car interiors. Capture is most effective on "pile" type fabrics, but it can clean flat or woven fabrics with a little more effort. Before cleaning your sofa or chairs, check its cleaning code on the tag. The code may be W, S, or X.
On fabrics with the "W" cleaning code, you would apply Capture PreMist and the Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner. We suggest using a clean terry cloth towel to work the Capture powder into the fabric. On "S" coded fabrics, use only the Capture Carpet & Rug Cleaner powder (no PreMist). It may take two applications, depending on the construction of the fabric. On "X" coded fabric, we don't recommend using Capture. Will Capture bleach my carpet? Capture carpet care products do not contain any chemicals that can remove color from your carpets or rugs. None of our products contain bleaches, ammonia, brighteners, or any other chemicals that can remove color or react with stains to remove color. Will Capture clog or break my vacuum cleaner? Capture Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner is safe for use in all vacuums. We regularly test Capture's compatibility with a variety of machine models as they enter the marketplace. Capture dry cleaning powder is about the same size as sand, so it's not so small to clog filters or bags.
The only way Capture powder (or for that matter, any particulate) to get to the motor of a vacuum is improper mounting the dust collection bin or bag. If a bin or bag is not properly placed, the air flow will bypass collection and carry all particulates deeper into the vacuum cleaner. Always make sure to check the bin or bag before vacuuming to protect your cleaning machine. Can I use Capture powder on sisal rugs or sculpted berber carpets? Capture is very effective on all types and constructions of carpets and rugs. Carpets and rugs that don't have pile but are flat instead should be cleaned by first applying the PreMist, then GENTLY brushing in the PreMist, followed by applying the powder and brushing that in. The tighter construction of berber sometimes makes penetration of the powder more difficult, so using a little extra PreMist will enhance the Capture powder's performance. Can you clean wool rugs with Capture? Capture may be used safely on all rugs and carpets made of wool.
