I hope I don't get in trouble for asking this, has anyone tried using a carpet cleaner hose attachment to get that first spring cleaning done for clipping? Long story short, my husband suggested this as we cleaned up our SUV's carpet that was soaked in soured milk. Over the years we have tried a propane Hott Wash that only put out hot water, the pilot light constantly blew out, no way to adjust the temperature, splitter for a hose from the kitchen sink which worked once and then disaster, and hauling buckets of hot water. Now we are both older and dread spring bathing, so I told him it might be a good idea. My Bissell carpet cleaner (it's not a steam cleaner!),just might work. They don't mind the shop vacs noise on them, but with the clay sticking to their skin those did a good job blowing but not extracting. and they always have such thick long winter hair. My little horses are so desensitized from our calamity of baths, not much bothers them except the ice cold water from out hoses.
