Miss Goodbody simply has a small rug by her front entrance. She insists that it is cleaner than carpet everywhere. In fact I helped her remove her old carpet.

Smokey112 - Bought my first bottle of Stardrops yesterday and a microfibre cloth - am going to try both out today

Doratheexplorer - I spilt coffee on my living room carpet (again) last week and have tried removing the stain with 1001, Fairy Liquid, expensive Aussie stuff from Sainsbury's, bio wash liquid and none of them have made a scrap of difference. Can't cover with a rug this time as it's in the wrong place. I'll be replacing the carpet next year when my back boiler and gas
fire are replaced so I'm stuck until then. Had a brainwave this morning and have tried Stardrops
. Now waiting for carpet to dry and stain to be vanished. Oh, and I also tried Vanish - NBG

Tango - Has it gone? All this talk of stardrops,i will have to buy some.
Savingsgirl - My mum has just rung to say she has picked me up some stardrops and a pack of microfibre cloths. I am very excited as I have never used them before but was only telling her yesterday that I needed to find them as everyone on here raves about them so much! I have tidied the house but leaving cleaning the surfaces etc til she arrives with my goodies at 4pm.I know I'm sad but i cant wait!!

I looked at getting someone in to clean/wash the carpets 
then looked at hiring a machine 
then purchased a Bissell machine, did downstairs (great results) then did the stairs (fantastic results) and then a few years later did downstairs again (brilliant). Now I've got the machine and its paid for itself, it just takes up a bit of room in the cupboard under the stairs but now owes me nowt. .....................Result

Mrs George did the same, i was dubious at first but now have to admit it is one the best tools she has ever bought. Had it out last week after the dog puked on the new carpet .... good as new again.

I have an Aqua Vax and I couldn't get the cleaning fluid anywhere, but I found on the internet that Daz washing powder works, so I tried it and it works very well. You have to make sure that the powder it is well dissolved.

Adding a small amount of fabric conditioner helps to stop too many bubbles forming, they say. I think I'll give it a try after Christmas.

We used to have the attachments for our Vax hoover. But we recently bought a Vax shampoo thingy for about £60, and it does a pretty good job for the money. My mum's Vax is a deerer one and it sucks up more water (dryer carpet) but for £60 can't complain.

It was actually for 750ml, I've just checked the bottle.
Can't help with old money, I don't understand it, my aunt bought me a decimalisation set of coins when I was young, but I spent it on sweets and was never forgiven.
