When you own any carpet, it is crucial that you follow the steps of proper carpet care, which involves getting it regularly cleaned. If you don’t take proper care of it, then you are going to have to end up replacing the carpet after only a short time, which is going to cost far more than just getting it cleaned on a regular basis. But the type of cleaning that you get done is just as important as how often you get it cleaned.

As a homeowner, you basically have two options to choose from. You can either rent some carpet cleaning machines and complete the cleaning yourself or get a team of professionals to handle it for you. While renting the equipment might initially seem like the more appealing option, there are actually several reasons why hiring professionals is the better choice. Here are the instances where renting carpet cleaners just aren’t going to cut it.

Cleaning Tough or Old Messes

If it has been a while since you last had your carpet cleaned, then it is likely going to need a fairly intensive cleaning job. While rental equipment is fine for doing little touch-ups, it does not measure up to the capabilities of the professional equipment.

For starters, the equipment used by professional cleaners come with significantly larger motors that are capable of providing much more suction. This is going to be very useful for helping to remove any dirt or other debris located deep down inside of the carpet fibers.

There is also the fact that commercial equipment is often able to heat water to 230-degrees Fahrenheit and makes it easier to adjust the temperature, which is useful for helping to loosen up tough messes without ever worrying about damaging the carpet.

Handling Multiple Types of Messes

Rental carpet cleaners are going to come with a single type of carpet shampoo that you will be forced to use to help get rid of any stain that you may have. The problem is that not all messes are the same and will need different types of treatments in order to get rid of them. That is where professional cleaners have a significant advantage.

Unlike rental equipment, the professional cleaners are going to have a large arsenal of carpet cleaning products that they can use for cleaning very specific types of stains. So even if your carpet is plagued with numerous types of messes, the professional team will have the equipment necessary to handle it.

Cleaning Older Heirloom Rugs

Sometimes a homeowner will have a rug or two throughout their house, which may sometimes be heirlooms that are more delicate than modern rugs or carpet. Therefore, you will want to make sure that extra care is taken to help prevent the heirloom rug from experiencing any damage. But rental cleaning equipment is not going to be as reliable and will be unfamiliar to you, which increases your chances of accidentally damaging your heirloom rug. Whereas, professional cleaners will know their more precise equipment inside and out, which allows them to clean heirloom carpets safely and efficiently.
