Maybe you’ve been thinking about renting a carpet cleaning machine from your local home improvement store or purchasing one from the store. It may seem like a reasonable option that will help you keep your carpets looking their best and also protecting them in the years ahead.
There are some things you should know about those machines, though, so pay attention to the advice in this article. If you still feel it’s a good option, then by all means go for it. However, most likely you will realize it’s better to simply call on a professional carpet cleaning service at least once a year to help maintain your carpets looking like new and lasting as long as possible.
Rental carpet cleaning machines can be filthy.
When you go to a home improvement store or other equipment rental place to rent a carpet cleaning machine, basically anyone can rent those machines. The machine you grab or are handed could’ve been used to clean up harmful chemicals, toxic spills, and even bodily fluids, such as those following a person being deceased in their home for some time. As gross as that may sound, that’s exactly what these machines are often used for.
That means you will be tracking in the germs and bacteria and even harmful chemicals from the previous renter into your home.
Store-bought or rented carpet cleaning machines are not powerful enough.
You need a considerable amount of power to be able to inject water deep down into the carpet pile and then remove all of that water and the dirt back up. Those handheld or portable machines simply don’t have the suction ability to get deep down into the carpet pile.
When you calculate the cost and your time, it’s a better investment to call a professional.
By the time you calculate the cost of the rental machine, purchasing the machine, and doing the work yourself, you can save time and money by calling on Royal Interior Cleaning instead. Not only that, your carpets will look their best and be well protected in the years ahead.
