I am so glad we decided to go ahead and get our carpet professionally cleaned. Our dogs have been making some accidents in the house and it was really starting to smell. It’s terrible to think about such a dirty carpet and how my daughter will be crawling soon. There is no way I could let her crawl around on such filth! Getting the carpet cleaned was a great decision. It came out beautiful. We called Hagopian, a carpet cleaning company in your general area and they did a wonderful job. The two men were very nice and did an excellent job. I am completely satisfied with the outcome. Right now the carpet is still wet so I am trying to to walk much on it though they said it was OK. Most of the furniture is still placed in other rooms of the house but I think we will put it back tonight. Not only do I feel a sense of relief from getting the carpet cleaned but also the motivation to do some hard core cleaning… well not exactly cleaning but nick-nack eliminating! While moving the end tables and entertainment center to other rooms in preparation for the carpet cleaning, I realized I have way too much stuff! My house isn’t even cluttered but it is too much for me. I am going through and getting rid of lots of useless pieces of “decoration.” It’s going to take a while and I don’t expect to do this all in one day but eventually I want my house and belongings to be as simple as possible. Now I just have to get my husband to get rid of his box of 20 year old trinkets.
