so guys, my favorite dirt digger is my Concept1, from 91 I think, self propelled. It is also my daily driver.My buddy/ bf??? wants to clean the heavy plush carpet in his mom's house, fine, but they have an Oreck.I said you need me to vacuum and pick it up good first. They have 3 dogs, I do not want my concept smelling like dog. I have a like new Decade 80, I think cleans almost as well and I do not use it often.??? I would of course change the bag the moment I get it home, could I use the Concept and avoid smell for weeks after?? What ya think?

Do not loan out any of your vacuums. Change the bag and the belt in the Oreck 1st and you will be good to go. :) |

Again, I go with it. only a mile away, she has very thick sculpted light color rug, it needs a good beating. I have already told him I needed to vacuum it myself first, just do not want my machine smelling after. His mom would already have us married I think if it were her doing, he is still dragging the feet on getting in deeper, so yes I want to make him happy

Alright. Make sure you use one of your machines. I understand where you are coming from. I recommend changing the bag and the belt 1st before you vacuum and again after you vacuum. |

I would use the Concept One, sprinkel some kind of deoderizer like Oreck's Crystal Aroma, sparingly, then vacuum very, very well. Don't bother with the lady's Oreck as it will not deep-clean, even with a new bag and belt. Your Hoovers will out clean the Oreck by miles. If possible I'd use some kind of Pre-Treatment or Spot Remover before shampooing and then used clean water to rince afterward.

Nothing can beat a truck-mount carpet shampooer for cleaning carpets/rugs! The Rug Doctor/Thermax carpet shampooers come in at 2nd place. The Hoover/Bissell carpet shampooers come in at 3rd place. |

These dry foam carpet shampooers are also good: Von Schrader/Kirby/Aerus Electrolux/TriStar Compact/Koblenz carpet shampooer floor polisher/Kenmore carpet shampooer floor polisher. |
