It’s that time again! Between the kids, the dog, and the husband so much dirt has been tracked into the house and stains seemed to have sprung up directly from the ground. The carpet – which at one time looked brand new – is now matted down to the ground and full of so many stains that it looks like an art piece.
This is a sign that it needs a much deeper clean than the vacuum is able to give to it. It needs the help of a steam cleaner. Those of us who do not want to spend hundreds or possibly even thousands of dollars to purchase one can easily rent one for a day or two. When trying to find the right company to rent from the best place to start looking is Home Depot.
The majority of these stores will rent out a steam cleaner by the half day or whole day. You might also be able to rent out from one of your local grocery stores or Uhaul. These can cost anywhere between $20 to $50 a day. This price does not include the cleaning solution that you will need to purchase for it.
When you have picked out the store you wish to use the next thing you need to do is find the best carpet steam cleaner that they have to offer. It will be more expensive – but you will be using something that is more efficient at giving you the best clean you want. Make sure that the machine has been cleaned after the last time it was used. You don’t want to be brining in smells or pet hair from other homes.
Before you leave make sure they explain to you how to use the carpet steam cleaner. Just to be safe you should have them give you an instruction manual that you can read and take home with you.
On the way out you will need to pay for the allotted time. Make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to clean all the carpets in your home thoroughly. You also want to account for the time it takes to drive to and from the store. In most cases it is easier to rent it for a whole day or even two whole days.
