Carpet Cleaning Machines You Can Hire/Rent

Before renting a machine it’s a really good idea to get on the internet and see if you can find any reviews on the particular machine that you’re looking at.

Reviewers are often brutally honest when they get online so you’ll be able to get a general feel from the online community about whether a particular carpet cleaning machine good or not.

Rug Doctor

One of the most common home carpet cleaning machines is by Rug Doctor. A Rug Doctor machine uses a three step action:

1. Cleaning solution is squirted onto the carpet

2. Vibrating brushes agitate the carpet fibers so that dirt can be loosened

3. A powerful vacuum picks up the dirt and cleaning solution.

The following short video explains it all really well. It looks quite simple really and might be the best option if you’re on a tight budget.

There are more places where you can hire carpet cleaning machines, but there is none quite so well known or widespread as Rug Doctor.

Home Depot and Bissell

At Home Depot you can hire a carpet cleaner that looks very similar to the Rug Doctor. And the cleaner from Bissell looks similar too, but they state that their cleaner works in both the forward and backward direction.

Other Carpet Cleaning Rental Machines

Other rental outlets are smaller businesses in your local. Some of the common machines rented out are smaller models that look similar to this one.
