What is the difference between a carpet cleaner and a carpet shampooer?

• <div><p>A carpet cleaner uses steam to penetrate the fibers of your carpet and remove dirt, while a carpet shampooer uses a detergent to clean the carpet’s surface. These are both efficient methods of cleaning your carpet, but steam cleaners do a better job of sanitizing the surface of the carpet.</p></div>

Why is my dog suddenly pooping on the carpet?

• <div><p>Age, medical, or stress-related issues can be why your four-legged friend pooped on your carpet. Medical-related issues like parasites can also cause your pet to vomit (though if you also have that problem, learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-vomit-from-carpet.htm">how to remove vomit from your carpet</a> is similar to removing poop). Consult your dog's veterinarian if you’re unsure what’s causing these accidents.</p></div>

Can I put vinegar in my steam cleaner?

• <div><p>Steam and vinegar are excellent cleaners, but it’s best not to put vinegar in your steam cleaner unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. If you don’t dilute the vinegar properly, it can damage the steam cleaner, and using a non-approved cleaning solution in the machine can void the manufacturer’s warranty.</p></div>

Q: Is it suitable for every carpet type?

• <div><p>No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.</p></div>

Q: Can I put vinegar in my steam cleaner?

• <div><p>Steam and vinegar are excellent cleaners, but it&rsquo;s best not to put vinegar in your steam cleaner unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. If you don&rsquo;t dilute the vinegar properly, it can damage the steam cleaner, and using a non-approved cleaning solution in the machine can void the manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty.</p></div>

Q: Can I vacuum once a month?

• <div><p>While you might get away with once-monthly vacuuming in rooms you hardly use, it&rsquo;s not ideal in other parts of your home. Your living spaces will look untidy, and leaving all that dirt lying around is not the most hygienic. Plus, the longer abrasive debris sits on your surfaces, the more chance of scratches or damage to carpet fibers. </p></div>

Gravis was on time and very reasonably priced. He cleaned all the tile and grout and sealed it. He provided instructions for follow up care and left additional sealant for any necessary reapplication.
