I need to clean carpets throughout my house and am considering both hiring or buying a machine. The answers to previous carpet cleaning queries refer to experience with steam cleaners and alternative shampoo cleaners. Does anyone have the experience to tell me which of the two types of machine is best for two different types of carpet, i.e. a thick pile, sculptured carpet and also a flat pile carpet (which is much easier to clean).

I have a spray hose that is 48" long and it is getting caught on the plumbing below the sink everytime I pull up the sprayer to use it. Is there a way to shorten the hose? Is a 24-36" replacement hose available? I cannot seem to locate one.

Picture u walk through a doorway (just a doorway, no door) with a wall running from the right side of the doorway u r walking through, to the wall in front of you. Immediately to your left is the side of the refrigerator. Now if you were standing in the doorway, and reached out your right hand to cut out an alcove.....that's what my washer/dryer are in. I cant to an accordian wall or a divider, because it would block the entrance to my kitchen. There are cabinates above my washerr/dryer, but the don't stick out to the end of them, so I can't hang anything from the cabinets. If I use a shower rod, the cabinets won't open. Ugh I have a real pickle here.

If a service was available to you for a 'House Doctor report' i.e. . Someone comes to your house, you are possibly looking to sell, and offer thier professional opinion on how you could make your house better to prospective buyers. . Would you get the service and if so how much would you pay??

I have alot of calcium deposits and its not coming from the city's water supply (installed a water softener/filter and nothing from there side is in the filter after 2 days, but still in my water lines). What two types of pipes will cause a chemical reaction? (copper and galvanized?)

And how can I clean this out of my pipes without replacing all my water lines?

My central heating has started to NOT come on when I want it to but instead it will come on later than planned and there is nothing I can do to change it. Sometimes it will not come on at all then all of a sudden whooosh it's on and warming up nicely. Frustrating it really is!
Any ideas on what could be causing this?

In Illinois, from what I gather from looking at the plumbing code, and "air gap" is not required for the drainage hose of a dishwasher. However, is it recommended to use one, as opposed to making the "high loop" in the drainage hose under the sink cabinet? Is the high loop usually enough?

Ok, this might be a little long but here goes...I have lived in this apt in Macomb, MI since Aug 06. I have had on going problems since then. I have MOLD in my apt, it has already been removed 3 times. I also had a foundation leak. They fixed it but one week ago I came home and a 6'x4' section of my bedroom carpet was totally saturated. Apt maint. said to my face that I was NOT TOP PRIORITY. They NEED to put a downspout at my entry way to correct this problem, but have done nothing of the sort. I have called health dept, etc. I finally called Building dept today and spoke with someone helpful that said they would contact the complex. Waiting for him to call me back. I have been living out of my living room for a week now! Every thing the maint. people say they fix, eventually just comes back...worse! There is even mold growing at my bedroom window outside. Please leave any HELPFUL suggestions. Any help is greatly appreciated.
