So, the carpet in my house is kind of... well, gross looking. I will be having a few houseguests visit me in my HPP home over the next few months and I was hoping to get it cleaned up before they arrive. Has anyone here ever tried to use those hot water carpet cleaning machines that can be rented at grocery stores? Would I be absolutely crazy to try it? I'm worried that the carpet will never dry again, causing a huge mildew/mold situation. What do you think? Any other thoughts? Thanks!
