carpet steamers

Once I had a child, I knew I needed to get a carpet steamer.  Spot treatments are just not enough when you are dealing with the messes children and pets make of carpets and upholstery.  Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning will save you money over prematurely replacing your carpet or upholstery, but one cleaning is likely to cost you less than the cost of buying a carpet steamer.  A steamer is also handy for sucking up big spills of beverages.
