Carpet cleaning?

[JenBKR]

the chemicals are harmful to pets as well as children.

That is certainly a concern for me...I am going to call a couple of places and ask some questions, that being the first one.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I knew I could count on all of my pet-friendly pals for advice on trying to keep things clean!

I've had the chem dry done and I was so unhappy w/it that I had Service Master do it again. I think that Service Master is even better than Stanley Steemer. My carpets smelled so fresh and clean and they were fluffy and like new when they finished and I had only 4 indoor cats at that time but I was so conscious of the possibility of people turning up their noses when they walked in my house. What we've grown used to, others get sick when they smell it. I also used them to clean the house when I moved out. Service Master is wonderful, here in Ohio at least.
