3 Types Of Carpet Cleaners

If you are looking to get your home's carpets cleaned and looking fresh again, you have a few options in getting the job done. Of course, you can always hire the job done by a local carpet cleaning contractor such as Stanley Steamer, or one of the many different local carpet cleaners in your area. You can also rent or buy a carpet cleaning machine as well. Here's a closer look at your options and what to consider in making your best choice.

Carpet Cleaner Rental

One of the easiest ways to clean your carpets is to rent a carpet cleaner. You can find these machines at most of your local grocery stores, hardware stores and the big home improvement stores. Cost of renting one of these machines can be as little as $25 a day or so.

The thing to keep in mind here is that these units are quite large and heavy to transport and use in your home. Beyond that, in most cases they have also been used countless times in cleaning up all types of unsavory messes, leaving you to decide whether or not you want to drag one of these through your home.

Home Deep Cleaning Carpet Steam Cleaners

There are many solid reasons for owning your own carpet extractor including having the ability to use it when you wish. They are also much easier to handle than a bigger rental cleaner and in some cases, work just as well. If you go with buying a full size machine, be sure to look for ones that have a good warranty and features that will make your job much easier. You'll find reviews of all leading makes and models on our site.

A point to keep in mind with these machines is that you'll still need to buy carpet cleaning detergent like you will with a rental, and you'll need a place to store the machine as well.

Small Carpet Cleaners Or Spot Cleaners

If you do not have a need for one of the larger machines you might want to check out a small carpet cleaner that tackles the occasional spill or pet accident. For example, models such as the Bissell SpotBot 1200B Carpet Cleaner and others do a wonderful job in removing concentrated stains and dirt in all types of carpets.

The biggest advantage to these smaller cleaners is there size. They are both easy to store in a closet, as well as easy to work with. Be sure to keep in mind though that these models are not meant to be used to clean an entire room, or home.
