Why rental carpet cleaning machines are bad for your rugs

Rental rug cleaning equipment can damage your rug. On top of that it can’t do the same thorough job as professional equipment. Some rugs need special care because of the material it’s made from and the age of the rug.

The rental machines can be too hard on your rug material. Rug pile can be ripped out from the base of your rug and cause thinned areas. These machines can also damage fringes at the end of your rug and cause the rug to unravel. The base material can be torn and ripped as well. These damages will need rug repair in order for you to keep your rug.

Rental machines are not near as powerful as professional equipment. Steam cleaning uses pressurized hot water extraction. Regular equipment can’t achieve the high water temperature that loosens dirt at the base of your rug. It also can’t get the same water pressure. Without these two factors the rental
machines only clean a fraction of your rug.

Another problem with rental equipment is that it tends to soak your rug during cleaning. This can cause bleeding and fading of the rug dye. The rug won’t dry quickly either and it can attract mold. Professional steam carpet cleaning has an extraction hose to clean away dirty water and it leaves minimal water left over in your rug.
