However, when I fire up that Hoover, the pooties pretty much scatter. -bonbon |

Love (exhausted), -bonbon 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) Sherry |

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! Sherry |

(or, considering the topic of the newsgroup, other folks might be interested in reading about it too) Sherry 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. -bonbon |

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. Sherry |

Jo 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. -bonbon |

MLB 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. -- Nik Simpson |
