A RUG DOCTOR MIGHTY PRO X3!
Do you remember when your carpet was new and how good it looked and felt? Unfortunately, vacuuming alone can never remove the stains and deep down dirt that accumulate in the carpet pile, leaving that once lovely carpet looking and smelling old before its time. A Rug Doctor deep cleaning machine extracts far more dirt and helps make any carpet or piece of upholstery look as good as new.
Your carpet can hold up to 2lbs of dirt per square foot and the average family of four people can shed over 3lbs of skin per year, much of it ending up deep in the carpet pile. Vacuuming only removes loose pieces of dust, dirt and other bits of debris from the surface, whereas a wet extraction deep-clean will wash the carpet fi bres to the base of the carpet, which is where much of the dirt and bacteria can hide. With the summer season ap- proaching, everyone’s thinking about how best to blitz their home, includ- ing their carpets. So, Mum’s Survival Guide has teamed up with Rug Doctor to offer our readers the chance to win one of the brand new Rug Doctor X3 deep cleaning machines, with a one litre bottle of Rug Doctor’s carpet deter- gent and a Rug Doctor Upholstery Kit for cleaning your stairs, sofas and even your car interior. Kids are great fun, but the spots and stains they leave behind on the carpet, such as food and drink spills, muddy footprints and even sick, can be a nightmare to get out, as all parents know!
A Rug Doctor deep cleaning machine will help make any carpet or piece of upholstery look as good as new. All you need to do is answer this simple question to enter…
