So your area rug is looking in need of some help. It’s dirty, there are spots on it, and you can’t stand looking at it right now. You know that it needs to be cleaned but you can’t decide if you should go to your local supermarket and rent a Rug Doctor or not. I’m guessing you probably don’t have much experience with cleaning area rugs and truly don’t understand the fibers and structures and all of the little nuances of your rug. That’s okay though - I’m here to help you turn this decision into an informed one.
Here’s a very basic list of what kind of damages you might cause to your rug (and this isn’t all, either):
-Shrinkage
-Dye Bleed and Color Run
-Musty Odors (no one wants that in their home)
-Getting the rug too wet and causing a Brown discoloration.
-Left over soap residue that was not extracted completely by the little machine, causing rapid resoiling and bringing you right back to the problem of having a dirty rug all over again, way too soon.
And here are some other cons to consider before renting a Rug Doctor:
-Do you know where that rental machine was last used and on what? Of course not! You don’t want to risk bringing contaminates into your home and onto your rug, do you?
-The hassle of renting the machine, loading and unloading it, setting it up, leaking water all over your house, hoses going all over the place, having to handle this bulky unit.
-The expense doesn’t stop with renting the Rug Doctor; you also have to pay for the cleaning solution, the deodorizers, even urine neutralizers.
-Say goodbye to your Saturday and a relaxing day off! You have to pick up the unit, follow the instructions, clean your rug, clean the unit that you rented so you can return it, then go back to the supermarket to deal with the counter person and wait in line.
Who wants to go through all of that trouble?
-Oh! And don’t forget the back pain that comes with doing all of this, either!
