Our carpets have dried and they look exactly the same as before they were cleaned - stains and all. The carpet whisperer may be cheaper than your Dalworth or Stanley at first blush but after your 'deep clean' and 'sealant' fees... Not so much. At least with their competitors we got clean carpets. But with the carpet whisperer we paid $168.74 for nothing but an inconvenience, time drying and true disappointment. Please save your money and believe me when I tell you hot water and a good scrubbing with a rag works better than the carpet whisperer.
