Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 As we have a lovely new widescreen telly arriving next week, I thought I might give the livingroom carpet a bit of a clean in its honour . I've never hired a carpet cleaner before. Are they easy to use? I've always paid professionals to do it before, do the DIY ones do as good a job? Any advice gratefully received .

sage Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We hire a Rug Dr a few weeks ago from homebase, it cost us £20 for 24hrs. It was very easy to use and did a good job. Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We're in a rented house with cream carpet and have used Rug Doctor a couple of times now. I've found it easy to use and it gives fab results as Sage says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We hired a rug doctor when we moved here. Dead easy to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We've got a Bissel & it's as easy to use as an upright hoover. The ones you can hire from Morrissons supermarkets are good too. You get great results! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We use a Rug Doctor at least once a year, we have,pale carpets, dark cats, 3 teenagers, an allotment, chickens and a woodburner, so our carpets get a hammering. They work really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Dad hires out a RugDoctor too and does the house more or less in one go over the course of a weekend. It definitely gives good results and is quite cost effective! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
