Pro Carpet Cleaning vs DIY: What's Better?
When your carpets need a deep clean, should you hire a pro or rent a machine? Both have their upsides. The right choice depends on the area size, how dirty it is, and the type of carpet you have.
Rental machines cost about forty to seventy dollars a day, plus cleaning solution. While cheaper upfront, these home machines have much less power and heat than pro gear. They leave more water and soap in the carpet, which can cause fast re-soiling or even mold if the carpet stays wet too long.
When Professional Cleaning Is Worth It
Pro cleaning is best for deep cleans once or twice a year, very dirty or stained carpets, homes with pets or allergies, and valuable carpet types. Pros use gear that heats water hotter and pulls out moisture much better than rental machines. This means a deeper clean and faster dry time.
DIY works fine for light touch-ups between pro cleans or small spot jobs. But for the best long-term results and to protect your carpet warranty, regular pro cleaning is a must.
