Is it better to shampoo or steam clean a carpet?

I have two dogs and worry about stains and odor. My carpet needs to be cleaned often. I want to do it myself-not hire someone.Is it better to shampoo or steam clean a carpet?
I would definately only steam clean it, when you shampoo carpet, the shampoo builds up a residue that ends up attracting MORE dirt than before you started!


The key to steam cleaning carpet is to get a machine that FULLY extracts the excess water and make sure water in machine is not TOO hot, as it will shrink some carpet fibers and make your carpet look matted.


Odor should come out with a steam cleaning, otherwise you can always use a odor enzyme spray and add it to the water.Is it better to shampoo or steam clean a carpet?
I would steam clean if I were you because of your two dogs.
steam cleaning is better...shampooing will leave a residue in the carpet...you can buy spot cleaners for a steam machine to use on stains that will not leave soap in the carpet ...soap attracts dirt faster
Someone once told me that if you use soap on carpet, it never comes clean afterward. Once it is dried, the soap residue remains sticky (although you won't feel it sticky), so dirt actually sticks to it even though you will vacuum regularly. When I clean my carpet, I boil water and put that into the machine but use NO soap. It always comes out looking great and I know that it is clean and there is no residue left behind.
if u have a dollar general near by then go get a bottle of mean-green. i know the place is cheap to buy rom but this stuff is great to do alot of cleaning with read the directions on the bottle ( gallon size) for carpet care . believe me it does work.
it is better shampoo because steaming takes to long

Nexxus '; for younger hair'; Y- serum- you can find this in a salon. although it is not too expensive.
Pantene Pro-V i use it %26amp; people complement me on my hair sometimes when i wear it down. (i dont wear it down alot since i got a bad haircut )
you should probably get a relaxer although (although most white people dont do that not to racist or any thing)
Well, Herbal Essence has a whole line of products called ';Dangerously Straight'; that you can pick up at like CVS. If you want your hair to be PIN straight i reccomend using the products with a ceramic flat iron. I ave the same kind of hair and thats what worked for me! Also, If you need it there is a video on Herbal Essence that shows you the perfect way to straighten hair (but it involves a flat iron.) Here is the link for Dangerously Straight

  • What is the best shampoo for both straight and curly hair?

    I have curly semi curly hair and straighten it often and sometimes I wear it curly depending on the weather. I dont want to have to buy two different kinds of shampoo and conditioners. What is the best shampoo products for both?What is the best shampoo for both straight and curly hair?
    anything organic...never use the junk w/ chemicals in them:)What is the best shampoo for both straight and curly hair?
    Because you straighten it and because you'll want sleek bouncy curls I'd go with a moisturizing shampoo. No need for two different shampoos or conditioners. So I'd suggest either Biolage or Kerastase. Biolage being the cheaper of the too. Biolage is sold at Target and other drug stores as well as beauty supply stores. Kerastase is sold mainly at hair salons. I have also seen it at Nordstrom Rack for alot cheaper.





    Hope this helps.
    SUAVE!!!!


    The orange bottles!!! for sleek hair!

    What is a good shampoo and conditioner combo to make my hair curly?

    My hair is naturally curly and sometimes gets ringlets. Then, I got 2.5 inches cut off and now they are gone? What is a good shampoo and conditioner to get my hair curly? I am open to other remedies.What is a good shampoo and conditioner combo to make my hair curly?
    Well I use redken (the gold bottle) It's kinda expensive but it gets your hair curly, or you could get a curling iron.What is a good shampoo and conditioner combo to make my hair curly?
    that's odd....usually cutting the hair makes it more prone to body because the weight isn't pulling it down as much. you should probably know that shampoo and conditioner won't MAKE your hair a certain, it just preps the hair for a certain type of styling. this being said- you should by a shampoo/conditioner formulated for curling. my preference is redken products.
    leave ur hair straight, stop trying to be fake like all the other bitches

    How do I use shampoo without getting my hair tangled?

    Whenever I shampoo my hair in the shower I use a lot and get it all lathered up and bunch it all ontop of my head and rub my hands in circular motions. Then I rinse it and it gets really tangled. I have thick hair so I use a lot of shampoo. I'm wondering will shampoo do the same thing if I use it like conditioner? By just running it through hmy hair without lathering it all up?How do I use shampoo without getting my hair tangled?
    brush your hair before you get in the shower and still clean your hair in circular motions but after run ur fingers through it quickly and then condition. after you get out of the shower brush your hair immedaitely. this routine almost always works for me should you should be good.How do I use shampoo without getting my hair tangled?
    when i take a shower i have a brush in my shower, and i brush my hair while the shampoo and conditor is in. I get out of the shower and my hair is silky smooth and no tangles!!


    aight i hoped i helped


    *stay classy*
    i also have very thick hair try a shampoo for kids with a detangler in it or they also make sprays with detangler in it that you use when hair is dry don't use alot of shampoo more doesn't clean better than less
    yeah, the difference is conditioner,its time to start using it, i had that problem, bought conditioner, and never had that problem again!!! plus it makes your hair alot softer.
    dont pile it on top of your hair, it will get it tangled. and use both shampoo and conditioner, the shampoo cleans the the conditioner detangles
    i think while your washing your hair try combing it with your fingers and it will help
    use your shampoo like you always do, but afterward use a conditoner and that way it will untangle itself.
    you could use selson salon or loreal they both work but i would prefer loreal 'cause it works really really good. when you get out of the shower don't dry it at all, just put a towel under it and brush really easy while your blow drying it. well good luck finding a solution!!!!!
    first of all, what kind of shampoo are you using?? the best kind to get is a salon kind, not a store bought kind, because those really will get your hair tangled(believe me, been there done that) i'd advise using Redkin,amazing shampoo and conditioner, its pricey but worth it in the end.
    same problems here





    i use herbal essences and then in the shower


    i use a brush before i wash it and after [while in the shower]


    i aslo use paulmitchell leave in conditioner after i get out





    why don you try it!!
    brush your hair prior to shampooing trust me it works.
    i posed this very question to my stylist the other week (because it happened to me too) and this is what she said/recommended:





    stop wetting my hair before applying shampoo....





    apparently hair absorbs 80% of the moisture from the water prior to shampooing... which is why the application of shampoo will dry your hair out prior to the end of the shower (hense tangling).





    instead, splash enough water on your hair to get a good lather started... then work the lather through the rest of your dry hair.


    essentially -- dry shampooing





    you should do this for two weeks and your hair should have a radically different feel after showering/shampooing.





    in the beginning, feel free to use a detangler INSTEAD of a conditioner in order to work out any tangles. this is because your hair is still reacting to its previous treatment and needs time to adjust to its new routine. secondly, the application of conditioner merely to relieve hair of its tangles may over-condition your hair/scalp.





    good luck to you! =)

    I would try the new L'Oreal EverPure line. They are 100% vegan, smell really good (like mint and other herbs like rosemary), and make your hair really soft (IMO). Also, since they don't have any chemicals in them, they won't fade your hair as fast. I know, I sound like a commercial, but I love the stuff!What is the best shampoo for dry color treated blonde hair?
    I bleached my extensions from a dirty blonde to platinum, the hair was dead so I used Sammy beyond repair conditioner and now it feels soft again. like normal hair. Report Abuse
