don't spend all on negotiating the carpet steamer and forget the rear bumper.........bumpers on trucks are one of the options

P.C.

lol....I think these trucks come with bumpers.

I just finished cleaning the two carpeted bedrooms.  Um...it took filling the gallon tank twice.....total empty out ?  ONE cup.  [img onclick="selecte('eh.gif');" alt=emoticon src="vny!://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/eh.gif" border=0]

What kind of carpet steamer did you end up buying, PC?  I might be buying one later.

P.C.

I didn't buy one purelife....I'm borrowing one from a friend.  

  I have to say, that the fact that I am having difficulties, in no way diminishes my gratitude and appreciation to the friend who lent it to me.

I can only conclude that I am doing something wrong.  But you're right Michel....that's one thirsty carpet.

    I went over the carpets again, but not a drop in the holding tank.  I HAVE to be doing something wrong.

 It shouldn't be....yet it seems to BE !  I got it attached, but obviously wrong, as I'm not getting power to it.  And trying to get the manual online is like trying to steal the secret to the Ark of the Covenant or something.   It's all shrouded in mystery and codes.  

okay what is the name brand and if you can tell me the model number also pls i can see what i can dig up for information and instruction manuals

    Thanks Orik....I located the manual online....and the only thing I can figure, is that there is a piece missing. The piece is the 'recovery tank panel'....and the manual says for trouble shooting when there is no suction, that when the stairs/upholstery attachment is used, this panel must be removed.  So I'm thinkin that might explain the missing panel.

Thankyou....that's very thoughtful...but I think I'll just work on drying the place out for now.

mhmhhhm but ur water reservoir is not capturing any water that should be being  vacumed out. at least mine takes out the same amount of water that it puts in... unless u fixed that problem on ur steam cleaner

No...steamer problem not fixed.  But I have the dehumidifier running full tilt and the woodstove cranked drying things out.

  still gonna be a couple of days to dry out the carpets, making it possible for mildew and or mold and other problems to set in and possible damage to the carpet and carpet underlay...

Just how wet is the carpet to touch ?

will it soak through a towel if u lay one on the floor ?

is the carpet barely damp to the touch ?

if you walk around on your carpet in socks are your socks damp or are they soaked through if damp u should be fine... if soaking wet you may have problems.

It's actually drying up pretty good.  It is dry to the touch already....but I'm sure it's still wet down deeper, so the dehumidifier is still cranked.  I've already dumped about 2 gallons out of that thing in only a few hours.
