Have you ever passed those Rug Doctor machines in your local grocery store? They are carpet cleaning machines for rent. I have walked passed those machines countless times and never really gave them a second though until my wife suggested we rent one to clean our kids’ playroom. I was skeptical. How could a carpet shampooer you rent at the grocery store do a good job? This seemed like a waste of money to me. However, I was proven wrong.

I am happy to report that the Rug Doctor did an admirable job at cleaning our basement carpet. We rented the machine for an entire day, but we only needed a few hours to clean the room. I was amazed at how much dirt the Rug Doctor was able to pull out of the carpet. One disadvantage that I can think of was that you needed to empty the wastewater quite often. I could only do three passes across the room before I was out of cleaning solution and needed to clean out to discharge tank.

So, the next time you are walking out of your grocery store, think about picking up some clean carpets as well. Buy some carpet shampoo, rent a Rug Doctor, and enjoy clean carpets!
