How to Hire Carpet Cleaning Equipment
- 1). Find a carpet cleaner rental location online. Below are a couple of reliable sources for stores in the United States. Most sites require only a ZIP code to find the closest rental location.
- 2). Call the store to confirm whether they have any carpet cleaners available for rent. Reserve one by giving your name and number before picking it up.
- 3). Inspect the cleaner when you get to the store. Often steam cleaners are dirty or the brushes are missing bristles. Make sure the machine you get is clean and in good condition.
- 4). Buy supplies for the carpet-cleaning machine. Most rental agreements do not come with cleaning supplies included. Essential supplies are stain remover and steam-cleaning solution.
- 5). Pay for the rental deposit. Pricing is usually quoted by the hour. Factor in driving time and give yourself more time to clean than you initially plan. Rental companies charge extra for machines that are returned late.
