    Hoover Platinum Carpet Cleaner Cleaning Project

    Well I think I'm going to try something new... I've decieded that my grandma's living room carpet needs a good cleaning. I did do the carpet last spring with the Hoover and I did it this winter with the Kirby shampooer. I'm going to try doing it without solution and see the results. I will post...

    Hoover Platinum Carpet Cleaner Cleaning Project

    Andrew... I think you cheated and took the easy route and just replaced the carpet!!! ;) WONDERFUL results!!! Honestly though, carpets over yonder here are that dirty too!!! I can do our rugs here and I vacuum several times a week and still it amazes me what I get out with my Hoover. I think I...

    Inside Airvolution...

    Jack does make a very good point... Going bagless is a green way to go!!! That is one thing that is nice about having a bagless machine. No bags to throw out and its like starting out with a fresh bag every time you dump it (which most people dump it after every use). Clayton :)

    Bagless Kirby Conversion

    I can see the practical use... when you have lots of animals and go through lots of bags. Then it would make sense. Although it would be VERY high maintence to keep clean and properly running, I think if this was the case it could out-perform the bag method. Clayton :)

    do you use straight suction on carpet?

    Bobby... Well I did today when I was buy my cousins. She has Nutone Central Vac. In the morning I did all the carpet with the powerhead and woodfloors with a seperate tool. Then when the kids went out this afternoon I used an AWSOME floor/rug combo tool just to clean it up again. There wasn't...

    Hoover Platinum Carpet Cleaner

    My take on Bissell vs. Hoover... I used the Bissell ProHeat 2X and I own a Hoover Dual V Widepath. I was at my cousins for the week and had to use the Bissell because of the dogs and a small stain. The Bissell hardly got the stains out, got the carpets really wet, didn't get the carpets wet at...

    Trish got me a nice Maytag Legecy canister vacuum

    Brian... Now that you say that, I remember Sanyo having some "cyclonic" bagless canister that had the same powerhead. Very interesting!!! Clayton :)

    riccar on its way

    Nathaniel... I have a dealer by me that is the same way. That's why I stopped going there LMAO!!! :D But anyways, Riccars are good. I myself just like it for a daily-driver. I wouldn't just live off of a Riccar. Everyone has their preference. Try one!!! Clayton :)

    riccar on its way

    Matthew... Mother's ALWAYS love Riccars!!! They love the fact they're light weight, easy to you, and work very well. My mother always tells people about Riccar when people ask her what she thinks is good. I also have several people that I know that clean that love Riccars because of how simple...

    Central Vacuums

    Steven... I do have to agree that using the central to dust is indeed a God-sent!!! :D Clayton

    Central Vacuums

    Nathaniel... We have central and it has ups and downs just like anything else. Nothing gets carpet cleaner than a good upright(Sanitaire, Dyson (DC17 of course lol!), Kirby, etc...). I always find myself going back to my Riccar because it is so light and cleans fairly well. Now like today I...

    Jack... Very nice!!! I would love one of those too but I think I might actually find a good deal on a DC17 now. Clayton :)

    Kirby G Series machines

    Dan... is 110% right!!! I use my G4 on the berber and it bounces like a jack-rabbit!!! I like to use the Kirby espically on berber because it's difficult to clean. I also end up taking it in ever year or so to get it tuned-uped from all the bouncing and works WONDERFUL afterwards. Clayton :)

    Kirby G5 Bag Strap Removal

    Ryan... Are you talking about the plastic strap that holds the emptor and bag together? If so, just take like a screw driver or something with a flat end and wedge it under the strap and pull towards you. I haven't broke any doing it that way YET. LOL Good Luck!!! Clayton :)
