cheap models ne suggestions?also i haven’t vacuumed my carpet 4 months and i have a cat…be ok 2 use steam cleaner 2 clean up carpet and suck up all the moldy smellin cat hair?ty
so just buy a dollar vacuum and some carpet fresh and call it a day?

I’ve done some research and it seems that those are the ones most recommended by people for cheap homemade cleaning solutions to use with a rental carpet cleaner (I’m going to rent a Rug Doctor). Any opinions? I’m mostly concerned with trying to get up cat hair/dander, NOT removing stains or smells. I’m allergic and the cats used to live in my new bedroom. Thanks!

Our carpet is a mess from mud, dog and cat hair, general dirt and grime, and even baby food that spills. I have a steam cleaner, but none of the products I use really seems to get the carpet very clean. Does anyone have any advice as to which product would be really good? Just something easy to get at the store, Sears, Walmart, etc., is fine, but a good one. Thanks!!
