Why DIY Carpet Cleaning Could Cost You More Than It’s Worth

Deciding to clean the carpets of your home yourself is quite the project to take on. You may be looking into doing it yourself because you think it will save you money. As you keep reading, you may be surprised to find that if you don’t already have professional carpet cleaning supplies, doing it yourself may not be any less expensive than having a professional do the job – and you are almost certainly not going to be as happy with the results.

The Cost of Renting a Carpet Cleaner and Supplies

The supplies you would need in order to clean your carpets on your own is a carpet cleaning machine, detergent or cleaning chemicals, and possibly spot treatment and pre-treatment. Take note that the professional carpet cleaning machines that you rent will work much more powerfully than the ones that you can purchase. This is a good piece of information to know but also goes to show how the recurring price of renting a machine can add up quite a bit after you rent a machine 3 different times to clean your carpets.

The Carpet May Look Worse After Cleaning

This is a scary thought. The time that you will put into cleaning your carpets on your own will add up to be quite a lot of time, and there is nothing more frustrating than spending a great deal of time on a project then being disappointed by the results. There is a reason people choose to use a professional carpet cleaning company – cleaning carpets is hard work! Even with the best of intentions, less than effective equipment and cleaning solutions can leave your carpet looking not so great. Any soap left behind in the carpet will dry and leave a sticky residue that will attract even more dirt after you are finished cleaning. And the more you rinse, the more water gets stuck in your carpet creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. If you’ve never realized it before, cleaning carpets really is a science!
