Why I Recommend the Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaning Machine

Recently my husband and I moved into a new rental home. A condition stipulated in our leases was that we would receive a discount on the deposit if we agreed to have the carpets shampooed or do it ourselves. Not wanting to spend a small fortune to have the carpet professionally cleaned, we decided to rent a Rug Doctor Carpet Machine. Having never used this machine before we were not sure what to expect or how difficult it would be to use. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised.

The most difficult part of the whole process was filling out the paperwork at the store before we left with the machine. According to the manufacturer only Rug Doctor brand solution should be used in the machine, but a friend of mine recommended using Oxyclean instead of purchasing the expensive solution and anti-foam. This worked wonderfully and saved us nearly twenty dollars which we certainly did not complain about.

Working the machine was simple. All we had to do was mix the Oxyclean with water as directed on the Oxyclean label. This mixture was then placed in the bottom tank of the machine and we were off and running. In a time period of about two hours we were able to clean three large rooms in our home without any complications, though I would recommend using less Oxyclean than you think you will need. If you use too much of the cleaner you may have residue left on your carpet. The rotating brushes on the machine worked well in removing stains that seemed to be set into the carpeting. The only complaints we had about the machine were that it is difficult to transport because of its weight and that the machine is difficult to clean after use.
