Carpeting makes your home feel warm and inviting. It brings people together, encourages kids to play on the floor and even does double-duty as extra seating when we can all gather together and there just isn’t enough space on the couch. Cleaning carpet might seem hard, but it isn’t with the right carpet cleaning tools. BISSELL Rental is here to help you figure out the best way to deep clean carpet.
Professional Carpet Cleaning VS. DIY
Vacuuming carpets regularly is necessary to help keep your home clean. You’ll probably also want to keep a spray spot cleaner on hand for accidents. But, once or twice a year, your carpet will need to be deep cleaned. Let’s look at your options:
-
You can pay for professional carpet cleaning services OR
-
You can do it yourself and rent a carpet cleaner.
There are pros and cons to each method.

Hiring professional carpet cleaners
Is professional carpet cleaning worth it? It may be if you don’t want to do the work yourself and you don’t mind spending the extra money. If you hire a professional carpet steam cleaner, they will schedule a time to come into your home with their equipment to deep clean carpet. You’ll want to remove anything from the room that is valuable or delicate, make sure there are no curtains on the floor and vacuum before they arrive.
