We all want to save some money somewhere and when it comes to cutting corners carpet cleaning it makes sense doesn’t it?  But, remember saving doesn’t always mean as much if you have to do all the leg work.  The hassle that comes with renting a machine is far more than what people expected.  It is not as easy as 1, 2, 3.  A lot more is involved in cleaning your own carpets than you think.  It’s not as easy as you think and more time and effort as well.

Some things to remember when you DIY:

  • When renting the machines the solutions are not included in the price of the rentals?   It doesn’t come with the machine rental, and you’ll have to purchase it separately. Especially if you have pet stains and odor issues you are trying to get rid of.
  • The machine is probably not brand-new and may not be in the best condition either after numerous consumers have rented the same equipment.  Power in these machines are nothing like the truck mounted equipment’s that professional carpet cleaner’s use today.   Most do not have that power needed to lift the stains and odor out of your carpet fibers.  That is what you want isn’t it?  To get rid of the stains completely out of your carpets?
  • Think about the convenience aspect, you’ll have to lug the rental home then return it to the store when you’re finished.  You’ll have to ask ourselves, is it really worth my precious time and effort?   Some say it is… but others will say, definitely not!   After renting the machine once, most consumers probably would never do it again.  They say it took too much time and effort on their part when they could have hired a professional.
  • There are many rentals available through Pet Smart, Home Depot and your local grocery stores.  Price might be a lot cheaper than hiring a professional.
  • If it is not done properly, you would have to repeat your work over again.

Many professional carpet cleaners mist a pre-treatment solution onto the carpet before the cleaning which allows a longer time to break down the oily compounds on your carpet fibers. Then the clear water is run through the machine to leave no residue on your carpets.  This makes it safer for you and your family.  No doubt professional carpet cleaning cost more than rentals but it does save you a lot of time.  After all, your weekends are meant to be spent with your loved ones.  Leave the carpet cleaning to us.  We are here to help make your life a lot easier and healthier for you and your family.  Our machines have so much more power than rentals to get really deep into your padding to remove bacteria and harmful contaminants out of your home.  Who wouldn’t want that?  Do it yourself carpet cleaning rentals is good but if you really want the best quality cleaning, call on the professionals.  You can’t go wrong!
