I've lived in the same apartment since October 1, 1996.
A year or two after I moved in they steam cleaned the carpets in the hallway. Since then I have spent a few hundred dollars of my own money on rug shampoo and using my own carpet shampooer and have shampooed the carpet myself 3 times because it was so disgusting to look at.
The caretaker does vacuum the carpet twice a week, but vacuuming doesn't take the place of steam cleaning which should be done at least once every year or two.
Anyway, today the agency decided to have someone come in and steam clean the hallway carpets in the building.
The building doesn't have air conditioning and there is no open ventilation, so the hallways are like saunas. They couldn't wait until fall or winter when the air is dryer and cooler: they had to pick one of the hottest and most humid months of the year!
Those carpets will go mouldy before they dry with the heat and humidity that we've been getting. Already the hallways smells like "wet dog". Gross!!!!!!
