Cleaning The Rugs

Today is the day my daughters decided to clean our rugs. I don't know if this is a good idea or a bad one but since I'm not the one doing the work I can't complain.
I got a Bissell rug shampooer and carpet cleaner a week ago and have wanted to get the rugs cleaned for awhile. My youngest daughter isn't working today and her sister said she would come over to help.
The whole house has hardwood floors except for the stairs and the hallway upstairs. There isn't a lot of carpet but it is looking really dingy and dirty. Bad move on my part to choose a carpet of a light brown color (darker than beige and lighter than a milk chocolate). I wanted something neutral but now it's really looking dirty.
We have snow coming later in the day, my grandchildren are getting out of school early and will probably come with their mom and keep me company while the rugs are getting shampooed.
I'll be happy to see how much cleaner the rugs will look and even if they aren't perfect they have to be better than how they look now.
That's my exciting plans for today. What excitement do you have planned?

Watching paint dry. Literally. There is some touch up work in the living room.

@Marilynda1225 I want to hire a professional machine to shampoo the one in the hallway.

My rugs are in dire need of shampooing especially since the stairs and hallway is a high traffic area

I have spot cleaner to use and I'm hoping our first attempt is successful

@Marilynda1225 It was murky this morning but at long last it does seem to be properly clearing. I am feeling much more confident about the weather.

I was going to hire a company to do it but my daughter thought it would be easy for her to do as well as cheaper

Once those rugs are cleaned and spiffy again make sure visitors remove their shoes. It would be a shame to get them dirty without enjoying the cleanliness for awhile

@Marilynda1225 We cleaned the carpets last week and it just feels so much nicer. I guess with the dogs around they were quite dirty.

Same here. The dogs have added to the problem as well as it being a high traffic area
