Carpet Cleaning Steamer
No one likes admitting they need to clean their carpets, but if you're tired of looking at the dirt and grime, you only have a few options. You could hire a professional to come in your home and clean the carpets for you. However, this can be rather expensive. Or, you can rent or buy a carpet cleaning steamer. The latter option is perfect for those on a budget and can yield excellent results in the form of a super clean carpet that you don't have to be embarrassed about anymore.
What is a Carpet Cleaning Steamer?
A carpet cleaning steamer is a device that uses the power to steam to remove dirt from carpets. It can be combined with pre-spray stain removers and carpet shampoos to maximize the dirt removal on carpets. They are available for purchase and for rent and allow you to clean the carpet in an entire room in a short period of time.
How Does It Work?
A carpet cleaning steamer works by turning water into steam and blasting it into the carpet fibers. When combined with pre-spray or carpet shampoo, this can really clean away dirt and stains in a carpet. All you have to do is apply pre-spray to heavily stained areas, fill the machine with water and run it over the carpet. Then run the steamer so that it sucks excess water out of the carpet.
Unfortunately, you do have to let the carpet dry the rest of the way overnight. You can open up some windows or run fans to speed up this process. Thankfully, this can be an extremely rewarding process, so avoiding walking on the carpet for a day can be well worth it.
The end result should provide you with a carpet that looks as good as new with no visible stains that's fluffy and completely presentable. You can't get much better than that, right?
Buy or Rent?
Once people decide they definitely want to use a carpet cleaning steamer, they get caught up in the price tag of the thing. Carpet steamers can be rather expensive and bulky, so many people don't want to purchase one and then have no place to store it in their homes.
Thankfully, you don't have to buy a steamer to still get the fantastic results of one. Nor do you have to hire a professional company to come in your home and clean and cost you even more cash. Instead, just rent a steamer. Most hardware stores offer many a carpet cleaning steamer for rent. Most of the time, they come with carpet shampoo and pre-spray solution for you to use for no extra charge. The rental fee is much lower than the purchase price, so if you're willing to get your hands dirty and clean the carpet yourself, rent the machine, put it to good use for a day and return it. Your carpet will be cleaner and you won't have to go broke in the process.
