Hello:
We just bought a house and wanted the carpet/steam cleaning professionally. It has carpet in the living, dining, 4 bedrooms, 1 family room areas and the quotes we got are anywhere from 0 – 0. The carpet is 10 years old, isn’t bad at all and has no major stains but just regular wear and tear of 10 years. We are thinking about replacing the carpet in the living room, dining areas with hardwood in 3-6 months time period. Since the cleaning is so expensive we also thought about renting a rug doctor to do the cleaning ourselves. But we are not sure what the rug doctor can’t do that the professional cleaners can. We need some advice on how to proceed? Do we go ahead and shell out the 500$ or just rent a rug doctor for about 50$ and do it ourselves. What are the major disadvantages with rugdoctor? What do you all suggest?

A friend is loaning me her carpet steam cleaner. She says it does a nice job in her house on her carpets.
I do not have visible stains on my carpet. The main problem is pet urine odor.
What solution should I use with this machine for that type of problem? My friend goes to the grocery store and gets Rug Doctor products to use with her machine. But I never see a Rug Doctor solution that is to be used to get rid of urine odor.
Thanks
I see that Rug doctor has Urine Eliminator but this is to be applied to individual stains. I want something for urine that you use with the machine on the whole carpet.

I got a rug doctor steam cleaner to clean my carpet & there is an anti-foam solution that’s pretty expensive. The cleaning product I have started to foam up (a generic brand)…Is there a solution I can make myself instead of buying the overpriced product from the store?

Hello 
I want to rent a rug doctor to clean my carpets (allergies) and here’s my question – I live in a VERY small apartment, is it okay to steam clean around the bed? If not, can the bed be put back in place almost immediately after I steam clean? (If I move it out of the room, It would be in the living room, and really in the way).
Thanks!
Rug Doctor Rentals are .00 – I don’t think I can get a professional to come in for that price.

How did the Rug Doctor or Professional carpet cleaning work out for you? Any recommendations?

I have two cats and a dog that have made my off white carpeting rather unpleasant and have come to the conclusion that I need to purchase a steam/water cleaning vacuum to end the recurring trips to the store to rent the rug doctor. I am trying to decide the best one to purchase. I am willing to spend anything up to 0 because between the vomiting, hairballs and accidents, I will have use for it at least once a week if not more. What is most important is how well it cleans the carpet and reliability. Does anyone have a steam cleaner that they like? or suggestions for what to avoid? Thanks…

We rented a rug doctor steam cleaner to do the carpets and couches. There’s a little tag on the handle of the upholstery cleaning tool that says "Use anti-foam cleaner". Well, I didn’t see that tag in the store, of course! I have the carpet cleaning solution, it does not say that it is foaming….so is it ok? Is there some other household solution I should make and use? What should I do? It’s storming and I don’t want to run back to the store again!

I cleaned it with a Rug Doctor, how long should I let it dry?

My cat had an allergic reaction to a stain remover I used on my carpet, so the vet recommended that I steam clean the carpet to get rid of the allergen. Debating on whether it would be more beneficial to rent a Rug Doctor or buy a steam cleaner like a Bissell Proheat? In your opinion which works better? I figure I could probably justify buying one if I use it at least 5 times (would equal the cost of rental or thereabouts). Also, how loud is the Rug Doctor vs. one you can buy. I live in an apartment complex, I don’t want to be too noisy!
Thanks

When we moved into our house, the carpets were a couple years old but not in bad shape at all. We have been there a couple years now, and we decided to wait for a while till the kids got older to replace them. I have dogs and cats too. We have ALOT of visitors. I was thinking about replacing the front door with a revolving one. Haven’t really had a lot of accidents or spills, but we have heavy traffic. It must have been much more heavier than the last people who lived there. They were already starting to mat and get really heavy traffic dirt. I have used my sisters Bissell steam cleaner but it didn’t do too much. What is the best cleaner. A rented one like Rug Doctor? do they do well? Is it worth the money to get a Professional clean with matted carpets and high traffic dirt? I want to replace it before we move to the new home but not for a year or 2. I am sick of the traffic areas. There is no sense in me putting down area rugs since they get moved and kicked up by the dogs and the many visitors we have every couple days.
