Compared to other methods and companies, how does Stanley Steemer stack up? I am getting ready to have a whole house of carpet cleaned.

I was not please with Stanley Steamer. I moved into a house that was only five years old. Even though the carpets were cleaned by the previous owner before they put it on the market, I decided to spend some money and get them steam cleaned again. This was BEFORE I put any furniture in the house.
I asked if there was a discount because there was absolutely no furniture moving and he would also spend less time. His flat response was "no". Oh well, despite the negative answer, I decided to clean the carpets anyway.
The guy spent about 45 minutes (house is 2,000 sq ft) and left.
But the carpets still had a lot of hair, surface dirt and pieces of paper on it. Also, I don't think the "steam" was working because I felt his water tank and it was not even luke warm.
This was a total waste of my money. My girlfriend called in a independent carpet cleaner to clean her carpets and they came out much better than mine. And her's were very badly soiled. I didn't think they could get it cleaned, but they did.

I had my carpet and furniture cleaned by them a few years ago and was not happy with the results. I finally called an independent carpet cleaning company. They were more personal and did a great job. Before I had the last ones in my house I requested referrals from their clients and they gave me a list to call, which I did prior to having them in my house. Just make sure they have insurance and are bonded.

Stanley steamer did 'ok' here.. but they did not do well around the perimeter of the rooms... I spent the same amount of money on a hoover shampooer... and actually it is a lot cleaner now than when SS got done with it. I am sure that some are better, that is just my experience with the local branch

i was not happy at all the best thing to do is invest in a hoover steamcleaner then you can do as good a cleaning as you want and when you want i love mine and if you get the upolstry attachments its even better
