Is A DIY Carpet Cleaner Worth It?

If you look in your local supermarket, or home improvement store, you’ll often find an option to rent a carpet cleaning system.  On the surface of it (forgive the pun), it’s easy to think that a bit of DIY carpet cleaning will save you money and do the trick.  

Here’s what you need to consider before you part with your cash and the best part of a weekend.

DIY Carpet Cleaning brands

One of the most popular brands you can come across in DIY carpet cleaning is Rug Doctor but there are plenty of alternatives from brands such as Vax, Bissell, Tower, Ewbank and Russell Hobbs. 

One of the first issues with DIY carpet cleaners is that most people don’t have the skill or experience to know how best to use them.  These machines don’t always come with clear instructions and it can be confusing to know how to operate the machine properly. Without experience it’s difficult for customers to know whether they’re achieving the best result possible or even whether the machine is working at its best.

Do DIY Carpet Cleaners Save Time?

Does DIY Carpet Cleaning Save Time?

Using a DIY carpet cleaner to clean your carpets and rugs takes a lot longer than you think and certainly longer than a professional carpet cleaner.

Don’t forget that DIY carpet cleaning won’t be able to dry your carpets as quickly as the type of machines that I use.  One of the main reasons is that rented cleaning equipment is a lot more lightweight with much less suctioning power.

How Do I Get The Fastest Drying Times?

I use the most powerful truck mounted cleaning system to achieve the deepest clean possible.  And because of this, it means that I’m able to provide my customers with the fastest drying times too.  Generally, depending on the fibre type of your carpets or rugs, you’re looking at 1-2 hours drying time with my services.  If you do it yourself, you could be waiting at least 24 hours.

What Happens If DIY Carpet Cleaning Goes Wrong?

Remember, there’s no customer service back-up with a hired carpet cleaner, everything is down to you.  And if something goes wrong, you’ll have to hope that your home insurance will pick up the tab.  We all know how difficult and time consuming it is to make a claim and in the meantime you’ve got quite a mess to clear up on your own.

The Rutland Cleaning Company Guarantee

When you book your carpet cleaning appointment with me, everything is protected by my 5-STAR customer service.  From your first call, right through to my gold standard aftercare service, you’ll know you’re in exceptionally safe hands.

Don’t forget that I’m fully insured with £5million public liability cover for extra peace of mind.   I’m also proud to be a member of the Approved Carpet Cleaners Alliance – in fact, The Rutland Cleaning Company is the only approved carpet cleaner in the area. Another great reason to relax and not worry about a thing!

Save your time and your money by booking professional rug and carpet cleaning services with me. You won’t regret it when you realise you get great looking carpets and a guaranteed result that will last much longer than other DIY services.
