This is a question that you may have considered before. DIY carpet cleaning is popular due to the fact that you can rent a carpet cleaner at your local grocery store for a nominal fee.
Renting a carpet cleaner does have it perks. They are cheap to rent, easy to operate and do a decent job at getting dirt and grime out of your carpet. My question to you today is this. Is it worth it?
When you factor in everything that goes into cleaning your carpets, going the DIY route might not be your best option. Here are a few things to consider.
How Much Square Feet Are You Cleaning?
This is the first question that you should ask yourself. The more square feet that you have to clean, the more time, effort, and money you will have to use to clean your carpets. A DIY carpet cleaner can only clean so much area at a time.
For example, the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro can only clean 118 square feet of carpet per tank. This means you will be making numerous trips to empty and refill the tank.
So if you have a home with a lot of carpet you’re possibly looking at a whole day of carpet cleaning. If you hire a professional carpet cleaner, they can be in and out of your home in a fraction of the time.
Prep-work
This is something else that you have to consider when thinking about going the DIY route. You can’t just rent a carpet cleaner and start deep cleaning your carpet. In order for the deep cleaning to be effective, prep work needs to be done. This means moving furniture, pre-vacuuming and treating stains. Sounds like fun, right?
Consider some of these facts:
- There are 300,000 items in the typical American home
- Americans spend $1.2 trillion dollars annually on non-essential items
- The average 10-year old has 238 toys
Moving all of this stuff is a hassle! A professional carpet cleaning company does all the prep work for you! We pre-vacuum, pre-condition heavily trafficked areas, spot treat your carpet and rake and groom your carpet! You don’t have to lift a finger!

Doing More Harm Than Good
This happens all the time. Many consumers over wet and over shampoo their carpets when they DIY. Often times this is done on accident because consumers simply don’t know that their carpet is being damaged.
A severely wet carpet can damage the carpet padding and promote the growth of mold! Did you know that mold can grow in your carpet without you noticing? Here are some tips that you can use to test for mold in your carpet.
