Where to hire carpet cleaner?

Am looking at hiring a carpet cleaner and wondered where is the best place to get one from and how much?

Homebase seem to have loads stacked by the tills. Well the one in Kensington anyways, may be worth a punt.

Lots of dry cleaners/DIY/tool hire outlets - ring round.

Johnsons dry cleaners have a hirable cleaner system called Rug Doctor, if I recall correctly.

Yes, Johnsons the Cleaners do hire out Rug Doctor machines. I have hired one before and was delighted with the results. I don't know how to put in a link however If you google Rug Doctor their site allows you to enter your address or postcode and will then show you the suppliers in your area,

I am also thinking of hiring a Rug Doctor.. our local Morrisons supermarket has a dry cleaners (their own I presume) inside and they can be hired there. I can't remember exactly how much it costs, but I recall GF mentioning it was a good deal as you get enough shampoo to clean 8 rooms (not sure what they base their measurements on though!)

If you really want to have your carpets cleaned properly dont hire a rug doctor or any other similar machine.

Hire a proffesional in, the rug doctors do not extract the soap and leave it behind and ur carpets get dirtier quicker.

Post number 14 shows a video as to why not to use a rug doctor or similar machine.

look for a truck mount carpet cleaning proffesional fantastic guys, good value and they dont use soap chemicals they use alkalines that do not foam.

I second Richard's comment. Hire someone, a 3 bed house from around £100 done with much better, industrial standard, machines.

I've tried both methods (several times) and the "man in a van" has always been much better.

Yes deffo, just google Truck mount carpet cleaning and then your area.

I dont know about this - someone I know who used to work self employed for a carpet cleaning firm said that the several hundred pound carpet cleaning machine (with carpet beater bar) that I bought from Argos does a much better job than his equipment and chemicals.

If you can afford it and you think you may use it a couple of times a year, then consider buying your own.
