Cleaning / equipment guide
Carpet cleaner.
A little planning goes a long way.
Plan a one-off carpet refresh with time for preparation and drying. A hire extractor and a household spot cleaner may not be equivalent machines.
Before you hire
Potential fit: Compatible carpets and upholstery approved by their manufacturer.
- Check the carpet care label and test an inconspicuous area first.
- Ask which detergent is approved and whether upholstery attachments cost extra.
- Allow ventilation and drying time. Avoid over-wetting and keep people off damp carpet.
Your hire checklist
- Carpet extractor
- Approved detergent
- Upholstery attachment if needed
- Fans or natural ventilation
A better supplier brief
Measure these first.
- Number of rooms and approximate floor area
- Carpet fibre and care label
- Stairs, upholstery and furniture to move
Hire, buy or get help?
Hire may suit an occasional compatible carpet refresh with drying time available.
Buying may suit repeated spot cleaning, but compare capacity and performance carefully.
Consider a professional for delicate fibres, difficult stains or uncertain carpet suitability.
Costs to ask about
