Carpet Machine Rental Blues
Rental Carpet Cleaning Machines
Most rental machines have very little vacuum power compared to most commercial units. Another problem is the operator does not understand how to use them. The Rug Doctor is one of the most popular rental systems. The Rug Doctor method has a couple of major flaws for dirty carpet. The way they instruct you to use them does not allow for any cleaning agent dwell time on the carpet. The agitation offered by this method is minimal. Also the cleaning solution is never rinsed out of the carpet. If you do use a Rug Doctor go over it after and rinse out the soap with clean water. The problem this involves is the Doctor leaves your carpet really wet to begin with. If you make another run at it you will leave the carpet even wetter.
The Rug Doctor in experienced hands could do an OK job. You would want to prespray and agitate your carpet before using the Rug Doctor. Then the solution in the Rug Doctor would only be Hot water and used to rinse the carpet. Most Rug Doctor users put down way too much water and detergent on the dirty areas and do not get enough of it back up. The more water/chemical/dirty solution you get out of the carpet the cleaner your carpet will be.
Most Rental Carpet Cleaning machines will only Half Clean your carpets and leave them very Wet.
