This would <br />put the cost at approximately $3,000 per year for carpet cleaning. <br /> <br />Based on these figures, it was felt it would be more economical for the City to <br />purchase a carpet cleaning machine and have the cleaning people clean the <br />carpets. <br /> <br />During the past several weeks, Laurie Heinecke, Chris Zerwas, and myself <br />have looked at four carpet cleaners. We have received demonstrations from <br />these four carpet cleaning machines. Three of the machines demonstrated <br />were steam cleaning machines and one was a dry cleaning machine. After <br />contacting Kjellberg Carpets, where the carpets were purchased, it was <br />recommended that the City use steam cleaning only. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />P.O.
