Oh it definitely is. Also consider having to work in a humid room as you'll be working with a wet carpet too. Not gonna be fun on a hot day unless you have ventilation and air-conditioning.

Hey, sorry, no - I am in Australia. Looking at Spot Shot's site it seems they are one of the products owned by WD-40, so they seem reputable. If using chemicals test in a small area to ensure the colour doesn't leech out like you do with clothes.

I'd use Spot Shot for more stubborn and difficult stains like coffee if you couldn't get to it fast enough, but the basic cleaning products (water, dish soap, vinegar & bicarb, etc) will work fine as they'll dilute before the stain can set in.

Don't tempt your luck with red drinks though.

In a social convo I'd make a similar gesture with my hands / fingers. Hard to describe, but something like I've just woken up and I must say something right now? Kind of motion.

Then I'll apologise then quickly ask the question.

Handheld ones with the motorised brush are great for fluffing up the carpet while maintaining great manoeuvrability and without lugging a heavy weight beind you.

In this case the Dyson v7 or greater will work well if it is a small / medium house.

Oh rental? Take photos as evidence that it is natural wear and tear in case the landlord claims damage.

Scuffed carpets are normal from dragging furniture over it (eg chairs) and flattening from foot traffic.

I wouldn't bother with a professional carpet cleaner unless you have a big spill or upon your exit.

Spot clean immediately or asap if you get a spill. Prevent the spill from spreading while you clean by blotting / dabbing with clean towels (a roll of toilet paper helps with this), and if needed scrub as small as you can.

If you do get an inevitable stain, consider if you can get furniture to place it on top or change to dimmer lighting to hide it 😉

I think you've already found your preferred frequency. The frequency largely depends on one's personal preferences, just like with cleaning bedding and the rest of the house.

If you want to let your carpet develop a stank and keep stains be my guest. Though if I am your guest I might have opinions.

Tile is too damn cold in winter. Put down faux wood panels if you can, or linoleum.

IMO very rarely. You'd use it if something had majorly soiled the carpet that's bigger than a spot clean or if you are freshening up, such as an exit or spring clean.

It's a time consuming process, as you aren't scrubbing the carpet - just spraying in soap and sucking it back out several times until the soap / water comes out clean.

And following along his mates are also great too. Matt Gray has recently started his own series that are similar to Tom's videos.

Tiktok is tempting if you could get a job as a social media manager
