Every time I clean my floors, I have this debate with myself over whether I prefer hardwood or carpet. Usually, the winner is whichever surface I’m not cleaning right at that moment, because each is unruly in its own special way. Hardwood has its dust bunnies and its drying time after mopping. Carpet would be easier to care for (Just vacuum!) if it weren’t for the layer of filth that gradually builds up in high-traffic areas. To get rid of it, you’re pretty much stuck begging, renting, or buying a carpet extractor, and then let’s talk about drying time. Also, what exactly is in the soap you have to put in those machines? I’m only curious because every time I clean my carpet, I end up dumping a ton of it down the drain, and for the next week I have a constant layer of it on the soles of my feet. I’ve always thought it would be reassuring to know that cleaning carpet wasn’t tantamount to pumping the environment and my body full of toxic chemicals. So imagine my joy when I learned how to clean carpet without mysterious detergents. The details are all in my latest article.
