I had that same question about the shampoo deal.
I thought i had something. But guess what, i got some advice from a wise young man that i later found out that he was absoutely right about. The way he put it was funny to me. But it was true. So I pass it on to you. Read below.

Alex,

A Kirby is an OK vacuum. I started my cleaning business back in 1982 with a used Kirby.

The Kirby shampoo attachment was a paltry attachment that enabled Suzie Homemaker to shampo her carpets. This helped the struggling door to door Kirby salesman help her justify spending a couple thousand dollars for an overweight vacuum cleaner that's been around since her grandmother's era. Is it for a professional cleaner? Heck no. Is it going to clean urine? Heck no, again. No more than you could clean urine with your Cimex machine. Contaminants such as urine should be hot water extracted.

You got some good advice above to get a small spotter or portable extractor. This is a tool that you really should have. It will be money well spent, I promise


P.S. OOOPPPSS! THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO GO UNDER KIRBY THREAD
SORRY GUYS.


Thanks
The Mask Man

Cultivate the "OCCD" you had at first for the industry!
