Has any body ever had Stanley Steamer steam clean the carpets in their RV? We have some dog stains on the carpet in our living room and do not want to have the carpet too wet and prevent damage to the floor beneath it...Perhaps I should have just said steam cleaned.........

we don't use Stanley Steemer but we do have the carpeting wet cleaned each year.

I would personally recommend the dry method. I always used it and it does a first class job. No waiting to use RV afterwards. One never knows what kind of cheap pad, (if any), RV Manft's use under carpet. Mold spores are always present. The cost is about the same.Another approach to this (which is much less costly), is use the "Resolve" dry carpet cleaner, brush it in, let it set for a hour and vacuum it up.It does a great job on pet stains. Resolve is available in any Grocery store, or Wal-Mart.

Yes. They did a good job. They not only steamed the carpet but also did the fabric furniture. You will want them to do it on a nice sunny day where you can open the windows to let the carpet dry. They do not soak the carpet but it does stay damp for a while. A fan blowing across the carpet will help the drying.

Yes, and they did a good job. They did all the carpets - the stupid off white carpets they used to put in RVs. They also put a carpet protector on it and it has helped me get out stains.

I use the same Hoover steamvac I use on the home carpets. Have used it in the RV once/twice a year for the last 7 years. Works great. I do it on a day when the humidity is low and temps are ok for opening the windows. Dries fairly quickly and cleans well. Surprising just how much dirt comes up out of the carpets even when they still look clean.

I purchased a Little Green Machine that stays in our RV in my clothes closet. It's small, perfect for grabbing out to use for new stains, but cleans well enough to clean old stains. I think it cost about $70 at Walmart.

Same here and the job was great. For those who clean carpet themselves by any method I tip my hat to you. I did it for a long time with my own machine and thought it was good. Then I had the RV done while Stanley Steamer did the house and we were amazed how much better the carpet looked, and stayed clean. The machine was given away, my back feels much better and my wife enjoys the extra time we have and not have to move furniture.

I have used carpet cleaner before .. suggest you use some fans and maybe keep a heater on to dry things out quick.

We use a portable carpet cleaner that we rent and do the apolstry at the same time drying all with an electric dehumidifier. For the house we use Stanley Steamer with great results.
