Carpet Cleaners..

[kandbumpx]

Has anyone hired one and are they any good? I really could do with something to clean my hallway carpet :/

I didn't hire one, I bought one instead.

I got the Vax Rapide which is brilliant. I had a couple of stains that had been there for over a year (one being child vomit on a cream carpet), had tried everything to get them out. This got them out in one go.

I looked at hiring the Rug Doctor (think thats the name) & it worked out about £40-£50 to hire the thing for a day as you had to buy their carpet/upholstery cleaning solution which was about £15 each. The Vax was £180 (reduced from £270ish from Very), I could have got a cheaper one but I wanted one that could clean upholstery as well. I was potty training DS1 at the time so I decided I'd rather have one in the house to clean up "accidents"

I use a Rug Doctor.

£30 hire £10 refundable deposit.

And £15 for shampoo but washing up liquid works just as well.

Works a treat.

Would highly reccomend the rug doctor it made my filthy carpets almost good as new. If they wernt ruined they would of come up loads better.

i used the local shops one (i cant remember what it is!) for £13 for 24 hours. it was brilliant, my mum has a bissell one that i use quite often which is good for surface cleaning but the professional one is very deep cleaning! x

I thought hiring was a waste of money really so I brought one and it worked.. Carpet was clean and fresh again but it didnt last that long.. With 2 kids, a dog and myself in and out of the living room I think the way forward is laminate lol

I'm having someone come and clean the carpet on friday! We hired a rug doctor but don't think OH did it right. WE don't have many stains it just looks grubby now. I hope it works x
