During a period of redundancy, my dad took up carpet cleaning as a way to earn cash. I went with him a few times to help out. What comes out of carpets and furniture, even those that look "clean", is gobsmacking.
We have one of those little Bissel spot cleaners for the inevitable toddler/cat/drunk dad accidents. I usually end up cleaning the entirety of whatever needs spot cleaned, such is the filth that comes out, leaving a noticeably clean spot.
It’s incredible how much stench is potentially in an old carpet.
Our place smelt like a GP waiting room when you walked in. With the carpet gone, so was the smell.
Fucking disgusting.
I personally hate carpets, but I trust you good people in here who like them, look after them properly! :-)
