Rent a Carpet Cleaning Machine

Hiring a machine to clean your furniture may help you clean the surface, but it won’t give you a deep-down clean. It’s important to be aware of the material you’re dealing with because not all materials can be wet cleaned. Education and training are critical when dealing with sofas.

Professional carpet cleaning machines are many times more powerful than rental machines and come with trained individuals. It’s essential to use specific solutions for different fabrics such as wool, polypropylene, nylon, etc. Always identify what you’re cleaning before starting.

Our machines can deliver specific water pressure from 20psi to 1000psi, and our machinery can run vacuum hoses up to 150 feet with a constant steam vapor supply. The power we use can clean all fibers in one hit from the bottom to the tip, assisted by the strength of the vacuums to recover moisture.

While I understand that  a hire machine may seem more cost-effective, let me run through the costs for you.

First, you will need to collect the machine. The rental cost and materials can start at around £54.00 for cleaning the living room, stairs landing, hallway, and maybe some bedrooms.

We rented a machine to put to the test, and we lost count of how many times we had to refill the water tank and remove the dirty water. The fibres were still damp after 15 hours, despite our continuous dry passes. We vacuumed as much as we could. A pH test was carried out, showing a pH of 8.5, which indicated residue was still present. Residue attracts dirt, and wet carpets smell after a few days as mould microorganisms form.

The machine was also returned, which is a cost of fuel and time. On the following day, we returned and re-cleaned the same area. From arrival to leaving was 90 minutes. We vacuumed first, applied our alkaline cleaner, added an acid to the recovery tank, and a defoamer to the clean waste reservoir. We agitated this into the fibers, filled our machine with fresh water, put the heater on, and added an acid that neutralizes any alkaline. We steamed thoroughly, and the water removed from our machine was extremely dirty. 

The result was that the carpets were sanitized, smelled great, and were dry within two hours of us leaving the property. The cost of this job was £90.00. Yes, it’s double the price, but we deliver expert service, and the job is carried out correctly. If your pet has had an accident, we have a process to extract urine and associated odour.
