Is there any such thing which cleans hardwood floors and granite countertops as well. Something handy to use and safe to floors as well.

These days, there is no excuse for a professional cleaner to be using a shampoo. There are many non residual cleaners available so insist on a cleaner who uses a no residue system.

I use rental carpet cleaners as opposed to a professional service, so I can do an extra pass or two with water only. I can also go over areas with suction only, not applying additional water. It is very tiring and time-consuming, but I don’t think I have the soap residue problem, and I don’t have to do it as often.

Even though doing it yourself is a ton of work, you can also be very thorough!

I would like to give you two comments on you carpet clean solution. One you are correct that home cleaners can leave soap in carpet. I recomment that you appliy the cleaning solution with a sprayer. They use your cleaner to rinse solution away with cleaner. Second is to be sure that you check you PH after the vinegar use. Incorrect PH will also cause problems. Check my web site for articles on hardwood verses carpet, very important if you have allergies.

I have a rug doctor that works great. I use Dawn dish soap, baking soda & white vinegar.

SO TRUE!
The areas I have treated are darker…it seems to lock in the dirt!
Thanks for the tip!

Oh, you don’t want to hear my thoughts on carpets and pet hair after what I just went through. We lost $800 because of dog hair in carpet, plus we’re without a house to move into and we have to get out of this house by Aug. 1. So I’m a little upset about dog hair in carpet that property managers refuse to clean properly (or remove completely like they should have).
Sorry to rant, it’s just really fresh right now!

Please pray that we find the right house SOON! With no pet hair in the carpets.
