The Saga of Cleaning Carpets with a Shit Pug
Let's be clear from the start: I am not a professional cleaner, just a regular wife with two teenage kids and a dog that despises cleaning as much as I do. This is not a paid review, but if you click on any of my affiliate links and make a purchase, I might earn a tiny commission. Now, let me take you through my epic carpet cleaning journey with the Vax Dual Power Pet Advance and Pro+ carpet shampoo in Spring Bloom.
## The Great Carpet Cleaning Fiasco
Picture this: It's a regular Saturday morning, and I decided to tackle the abomination that is my living room carpet.
Armed with my trusty carpet cleaner (trusty is a generous term here), I plugged it in, only to have it immediately break down and trip all the electrics. This is the same cleaner that's only managed to work three times in three years. After a few choice words and a ceremonial tossing into the bin, I was left carpet cleaner-less.
## The Spot Cleaner Distraction
Not to be defeated, I pulled out my amazing Vax SpotWash Duo, which is a real lifesaver for small messes. Overwhelmed with the reality of cleaning an entire carpet with a spot cleaner, I noticed Shit Pug (she’s a cross between a shih tzu and a pug!), had created a dirt track along her favourite barking perch! Main task, put to one side, I set upon the nasty mess and within seconds, it looked like new! But let's be honest, I was just procrastinating from the real task at hand – the carpet.
## The Dirty Carpet and the Shit Pug
I finally turned my attention to the floor. Here's a picture for your amusement – that's the carpet before, and yes, that's Shit Pug looking unapologetically filthy.
I tackled a fraction of the carpet for an hour and a half before admitting defeat.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I called Mother Dearest to borrow her Vax Dual Power.
## Enter the Vax Dual Power Pet Advance
Mother Dearest, bless her heart, lent me her Vax Dual Power Pet Advance. Let me tell you, this thing was a game-changer. Super easy to use and lightweight enough for my feeble arms, it only took twenty minutes to clean the entire carpet. While it didn't dry the carpets as well as my now binned cleaner, it did a fantastic job. Check out these pictures – the dirt it picked up was unreal, and the before and after shots are pure satisfaction.
## The Magic of Pro+ Carpet Shampoo in Spring Bloom
Now, let's talk about the Pro+ carpet shampoo. Cost-effective? Absolutely. I used about 75ml per litre of warm water and went through three litres in total (so 225ml of solution). For a five-litre bottle at £14.50 on Amazon, it's a steal. The best part? The amazing Spring Bloom scent that lingered for a week, making my home smell like a meadow instead of a dog park.
## The Verdict
After my cleaning escapade, I can confidently say I recommend both the Vax Dual Power Pet Advance and the Pro+ carpet shampoo. Especially when used together, they transformed my carpet from a dirt haven to a near-pristine state. I'm seriously considering 'borrowing' Mother Dearest's carpet cleaner permanently, much like her air fryer that found a permanent spot in my kitchen three years ago.
## About Me
I'm a wife with two teenage kids and a dog that could rival any muck-spreader, lovingly known as Shit Pug. Cleaning is my nemesis, but I love gadgets that make it easier. These products have given me a glimmer of hope in the never-ending battle against dirt and dog hair.
So, if you're in the market for a new carpet cleaner or shampoo, give these a try. You can get them from Amazon by clicking on the links below or any of the links within the article.
Your carpets (and sanity) will thank you.
Feel free to check out the products using my affiliate links. I promise the commission is small and will probably go towards more cleaning supplies or a treat for Shit Pug. Happy cleaning!
