Carpet Cleaner Rental Carpets can get pretty messy with everyday use. The usual dirt and dust is easier to clean but stains might be a bit more problematic. You try to vacuum everyday to maintain cleanliness but most of the time vacuuming just couldn’t get the job done. Vacuuming could only pick up surface dust and dirt. It could not get rid of deep-seated dirt and certainly not that coffee you accidentally spilled last week. The best solution to this problem is a carpet cleaner. But carpet cleaners don’t come cheap and if you can’t afford to buy one then you might as well live with your dirty carpets and hope that your vacuum cleaner could magically suck out all that dirt. But before you give up on your dirty carpets try renting a carpet cleaner instead. There are carpet cleaner rental agencies that offer cheap services. Locating one is easy, grocery and hardware stores often have carpet cleaners available for rental. You could inquire about their cleaners, if they meet your requirements or are suitable for your carpets. You need to consider if the cleaner is easy to operate or easy to manage. Some cleaners are quite huge that they’re difficult to move around. Make sure that you get one that you could easily handle. You also need to consider if the cleaner is suitable to clean your carpet. Most carpet cleaner rental agencies don’t provide cleaning solutions so you need to ask what solutions would work best on your carpet. What works on some might not work on others so you need to be careful in choosing your cleaning solution. They might have some solutions available for purchase. Aside from the general cleaning solution, you will also need a spot cleaner and an odor neutralizer. Make sure you have enough to do the job. Ask about the cleaner’s capacity like how much water could its tank hold and if the cleaner could access hard to reach areas. If you have stairs then inquire if the cleaner would also work well on carpeted stairs. Once you’ve finally brought home your rental carpet cleaner and you’re ready to start cleaning, fill it with water and cleaning solutions. Read the directions first and make sure you understand how the machine works before you start. Try to clean one area first, wait for a few minutes and then go over it again using the vacuum feature of the machine to draw out all the extra moisture in the carpet. After you’ve cleaned your carpets they can be walked on immediately. So you can move back your furniture once you’ve finished. But for a safety measure, you can always place something under your furniture’s legs like plastic or aluminum foil to keep them out of the damp carpet and to avoid any unnecessary stains on the cleaned carpet. Depending on the weather, ventilation and carpet material, the carpets will dry for about two to six hours. Nylons dry faster than wool and of course during the summer, they would also dry more quickly. Once you’ve finished using the cleaner, you can empty its tank and clean it. Then you may return it to the carpet cleaner rental agency. Renting carpet cleaners is not only easy and cost-effective, it’s also an efficient way to clean your carpets. So whether you’re having problems with that persistent stain or simply doing your spring cleaning, carpet cleaner rentals could save you the time, effort and money.
