We have light coloured carpets and very messy children. My carpet is so old that I considered ditching it and getting new carpet installed. Yes it was that bad. A friend mentioned they had Advanced Carpet and Upholstery cleaning clean their carpet and rugs recently and they had done a great job so I thought I would give them a go. I gave George a call and told him the situation. He came and looked and was very honest in his opinion that there were stains that just wouldn't come out. I decided to get him to do it anyway and see how it looked. And well, you can still tell it is old carpet, but it's brighter and smells so fresh. Sure the stains he mentioned didn't come out completely, but they are much less noticeable, if not unnoticeable. I am very happy with the job and price. In fact I told him I think he is underpricing himself and people might think he doesn't do a good job because of it. This assumption would be very wrong to make!
