Got my carpets booked in for cleaning tomorrow... 4 large rooms... steam cleaned for about $130.

I have them done every 8 months, roughly. Usually after the school holidays (start of term 4) and then again just before winter around May.

I use a local guy... he has his own business, I don't think it's a franchise. He does a reasonable job... not perfect but our carpets are very old and I'm not that particular... he gets the dirt out and all the new stains... and he's cheerful

What's your regime? and how much do you pay? and who do you use?
