I know.......WTF was I thinking????? Anyway, to all of you out there
with multi cat households, spend the $250.00 for a Hoover Steam
Vac Deluxe It's worth every penny.

Love (exhausted),

I hate my light carpet too. However, I console myself that I can SEE what
is one it. When I had my brown carpet, I had trouble seeing my Siamese
cat. MLB

I can relate to that. I guess if I had any white cat's I'd be in
trouble. However, when I fire up that Hoover, the pooties pretty much
scatter.

DO TELL. I am seriously in the market for a steam cleaner. This little
Bissell just doesn't cut it anymore, and, like DH says,
I "don't have enough butt" to lug home a Rug Doctor by myself.
With the addition of the kittens, I have 7 cats. SEVEN CATS. Seven
cats. I can't believe it. It is a tremendous amount of
work (for me, anyway) to stay on top of the housecleaning. It is
*extremely* important to me that the house does not
smell to other people. I don't mind clutter, but the floors have to be
clean. Tell me more about this rug cleaner. My e-mail is not munged.
(or, considering the topic of the newsgroup, other folks might be
interested in reading about it too)

Actually, I had white carpet,living room only, years ago. I liked it.
I loved the way the room
seemed lighter. And you always knew it was clean, because if it WASN'T
you could see it.
Now we have beigy-tan-brownish carpet that pretty much coordinates
well with dirt. I don't like
that. But at least it always *looks* presentable, even if it isn't.
It creeps me out, however, if I dwell on what probably really IS
ground down into that carpet.
Wood floors. Or even pseudo-looks-like-wood-floor-but-isn't. Maybe
someday!

The beauty of the Hoover Steam Vac Deluxe Sherry is that it has 5
individual rotating brushes. Guaranteed to clean up even the
skankiest messes......if caught in time. Of course I'm a bit old
school, and still feel that nothing cleans better than good 'ol 409,
so I generally spray each spot with that, then go to work with the
shampooer. Plus, to all of y'all who live in the south, everyone
knows that no matter how clean or fancy schmancy you house is, you
will occasionally get a roach inside. 409 kills them dead within
seconds, and the stream action they've generously included on the
sprayer allows you to kill them even in the smallest areas or far away
corners with deadly accuracy. Works great, and I'm having fun.

Don't beat yourself up. My brother and his wife did the same with their
entire house when their two children were toddlers.

Figure in twenty years worth of kids, dogs, cats, kittens, puppies.

Wow. From experience of having both, I seriously think toddlers (and I
love 'em, but glad I don't
have one)...they are much harder on a carpet than pets. Well, except
they don't shed.
But cats don't spill red Kool-Aide either.

I'm hip to that......our daughter moved back home with her toddler in
tow shortly after we purchased the house. Between the cats and the
grandson with his d*mn 'sippy cup' my beautiful carpet was a disaster
in no time at all.

When I built my first house, I looked for carpets to match the cat,
unfortunately there's not a lot of demand for grey tabby carpeting :-)
Ended up settling for a light bluish grey.
