If you have decided that it is time to shampoo your carpets then you may be wondering what the best way to rent a carpet shampoo machine is. Carpet shampoo rent questions are common, and relatively easy to answer.
First, where do you go? You can usually rent carpet cleaners from large home improvement warehouses like Home Depot or Lowes. They have a tool rental department and this is where you go to rent equipment. They will rent you the equipment for as little as half a day. The definition of half a day is four hours. This is usually not long enough for you to clean all of your carpets so you will most likely have to pay for at least one full day of rental. As long as you bring the machine back in the same condition that you found it, the process is very easy. Make sure that you look over the machine that you are renting with the store employee to make sure there is no pre-existing damage. If there is, make sure that there is a note made on your rental contract so that you are not blamed for the damage when you return the machine. Make sure to also look at the cleanliness of the cleaning solution and waste water reservoirs.
You can also rent machines from your local grocery store. A common brand name that you will find in grocery stores is Rug Doctor. Rug Doctor machines are small enough to fit in the back of your car, but heavy duty enough to do a nice job at cleaning your carpets. Another question you may have about renting carpet shampoo machines is what kind of carpet shampoo you should use in it. Whenever there is a display in the store around a rental machine, it always includes the same brand shampoo products. This is of course to persuade you that you need that brand of carpet shampoo to operate the machine. That is not the case. You can use almost any brand carpet cleaner in almost any machine. You can even use homemade carpet shampoo remedies.
