WW-Waiting

While I was getting a touch up from my favorite groomer, Scooby and ma waited for me. Scooby sat on the bench and looked pitiful because he couldn't go to the groomer too. He had just had a bath and his toenails trimmed by ma so there really wasn't anything that he needed done. 

Pawsitively Clean #Bissell Carpet Cleaner Rental Review

Our carpets really needed cleaning with all the rain that we have had lately. We have a home use Bissell rug shampooer and a Bissell SpotBot but ma said the rugs needed an extra oomph. 

We needed a machine with the power to show our dirty carpets who was boss. Since we can't afford to change carpets, we have to try to keep ours decent. We want to share our experience of renting the machine, cleaning the carpets, the whole process. 

I was not paid nor encourage to do this review but I feel my readers may like to know how easy it was to rent and to use. The following are our thoughts. Bissell nor PetSmart are responsible for this content.  We downloaded a coupon to use and want to share our thoughts.

We headed to our local PetSmart and located the rental kiosk with no problems. It's right in front of the store. A 24-hour rental is $29.99 (prices may vary at different locations), you can also rent the hand tools to get to the out of reach places or to shampoo vehicle carpets. The hand tools are an additional fee. 

Checking out the Bissell display

PetSmart has cleaners that can be used in the machines. They have carpet shampoo for regular soiled rugs, spot cleaners, and those with older pets, ailing pets, moms who spill everything or just sneaky dogs. They have cleaners with odor eliminators. It cleans urine stains but adds an enzyme to dissolve the odor so your pet doesn't re-soil the same spot. 

It does not work on moms who spill everything. 

Bissell has different cleaning solutions for individual needs

We told the cashier that we would like to rent the Bissell Pawsitively Pet machine and showed her the coupon. They unlocked the kiosk and brought the machine out. Ma filled out a rental form while the nice lady got the information off the machine she needed. The whole rental time to complete was less than 10 minutes. 

You look small for the big job ahead of you. 

The machine is smaller than other brands we have rented. The handle folds down so we were able to put it in our small car's trunk with no problem. It was light enough that ma was able to get it in and out without assistance. She got it in the trunk but had sissy Sarah take it out and into the house.

 Ma thought she would spend all her time emptying and filling the machine. She was proved wrong. The machine doesn't use as much water as others we have tried. The carpet isn't soaked which makes it much better for the padding under the carpet. The carpets dried quicker than was expected. 

With one pass of the machine, we could really see a difference. This machine showed that dirt, coffee/RC spills and other stains that ma says I can't talk about were no match for it. Those spills went down the drain when ma emptied the machine.

1  swipe and you see a difference

Ma took our big sectional rug outside and shampooed it. We wanted to see if the water went through the rug. It didn't. The rug turned out amazing! Unfortunately, we forgot to get photos but take my word. It really looked nice.

Ma did 3-12X12 rugs in less than 6 hrs. That included the breaks she took in between. We took the machine back early. We have a few stains that did not come out but they have been there for years. This machine will not perform miracles on a 15-year-old carpet. It did make it look and smell much much better.

There is a $15 deposit that has to be paid when renting the machine. You get your money back when you return the machine. 

Would we rent this machine again? YES! 

Was it easy to use?  YES

I was trying to think of any cons about this machine but I really can't come up with any. 

Things ma liked about the machine:

• The power button is located on the handle, don't have to use your foot or bend over to turn it on/off
• It's lightweight enough that doesn't feel like you are pulling a wagon of heavy dog food.
• Moves forward and back instead of just backward
• It moved easily from room to room. 
• Do not have to refill it often as other commercial machines
• Not overly loud for a rental carpet machine
• Designed for pet households 
• Cleaners are designed for homes with pets
• Easy to clean before returning to store.

Wheek Wednesday- You Can't See Me!

Ma couldn't find Cinnamon the other day. He wasn't ready to come in so he thought he would hide. 

He really needs to step up his game of hide and seek. BOL!

Guess what I had for dinner!

Cooking With Carma- Ground Chickyum Dinner

I love chicken. I love it so much that I call it chickyum. Ma has started fixing it for us every night but she was worried that we weren't getting enough nutrients. 

Ma is not a nutritionist or an expert in feeding raw. She has been reading up on what to add and how to prepare the food. There are other websites to assist you in finding what's right for your pet.
