We are in the process of preparing the house for this weekends celebration of our twins thirteenth birthday. In addition to doing the usual cleaning, this also means that we get our Bissell Steam Cleaner out to bring our carpet back to life. The carpet is about eleven years old now, and having a three year old can really wreak havoc on alabaster colored carpet: definitely not my color choice when we eventually replace the carpet.

We will eventually need to replace the carpet due to wear and spots that simply can’t be removed, but having the Bissell helps me to tolerate the carpet while we save to replace it. I told my husband this evening that this is one of the best purchases we’ve made in the last year because of its effectiveness. It really does make a difference in our family’s attitude when our carpets are clean. Until we’ve saved the money to replace our carpet, and wait for our three year old to be a few years older, we’ll continue to use the Bissell to extend the life of our carpet. The Bissell was an expense for our family to purchase, but the results provided are well worth the price we paid.
