Oh, nevermind. That one was too easy.<BR/><BR/>The Mrs. is still standing by her comment that she'd rather give up the microwave and dishwasher before the carpet cleaner. I'd say it all depends on how often you have these messes. You can get may maybe 3-4 years of use out of a machine that costs about $300 before it goes all China Syndrome on you. So call it a $100/yr. cost for the machine itself, then maybe $30/yr in soap. That's maybe one visit per year from a professional. And the convenience factor of being able to clean stuff up right when it happens (or when you get up in the morning and <A HREF="http://cherkyb.blogspot.com/2006/04/oh-crap.html" REL="nofollow">step in it</A>) rather than having to schedule an appointment and sit around with barf and/or crap stains on your carpet is definitely worth it to me.CherkyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11541573745834007922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24442373.post-7465481065912683442007-10-03T22:56:00.000-06:002007-10-03T22:56:00.000-06:00Thank you!

The common denominator I got from all of this: expensive, hard work, not very effective. <BR/><BR/>I think I'll call Zerorez. Very expensive, not hard work, pretty effective (the last two times they were pretty good ... but it was indeed expensive). <BR/><BR/>By the way, we've thinking of renaming Dogette Hoover.
