I’m so excited to be working with Sarah @ Sidetracked Sarah in the 5 Days of Cleaning Series this week. There are 22 bloggers participating, sharing their tips for cleaning and organizing this week! This week, I am going to share my favorite cleaning tools for every type of cleaning.
Today, I am sharing my favorite carpet cleaning tools.
1. Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind Upright Vacuum
Until last summer, I had a cheapo vacuum and I HATED it. In fact, right after we moved into our new house, it seemed to die. I think the new carpeting killed it. So last summer, I bought the Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind Upright Vacuum
2. Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover
My favorite day-to-day carpet cleaning tool is Oxiclean Versatile Stain Remover 
3. White Washcloths
In order to use the OxyClean (or any home carpet cleaning remedy), you will need a stack of clean white washcloths to soak up the stains and rinse without putting color back into the carpet. I make my OxyClean paste in a junk bowl labeled NO FOOD just in case it makes it upstairs; normally, it lives in my laundry room.
4. Hoover MaxExtract 60 PressurePro Carpet Deep Cleaner
And for cleaning up the BIG messes and just plain dirty carpets, I recently received a Hoover MaxExtract 60 PressurePro Carpet Deep Cleaner
I liked that the Hoover was SUPER easy to assemble and took less than 5 minutes (even with my 4 & 1 year old helpers). I read the directions a time or two to make sure I knew how to use it and it pretty much worked just like they said it would. The only thing that I didn’t like about it was that I can’t figure out a good way to clean the dirt/sand out of the main unit where it pulls the water back up into the dirty water tank. And I know it worked because my water was FILTHY. It took an entire smallish bottle (less than 32 oz) of CleanPlus x2 concentrate, 4 clean water refills and 2 water tank empties to clean an approximate 400 sq foot room.
