What's the best thing to use to clean the carpet?

[David Busker]

The best answer depends on your household, budget, and carpet cleaning needs. If your household consists of little ones with sticky fingers, pets, or frequent spills in general, then having a cleaner on hand is super convenient for lots of quick cleaning spurts. Stains can be tackled before they've even had a chance to set.

However, renting a carpet cleaner is often less expensive than buying since you typically pay per hour, and you can often access commercial-strength machines that would be inconvenient to store and maintain long-term. It could be a good option if you expect to do your deep carpet cleaning only occasionally if don't see a lot of spills or stains in your home, or if you don't have a lot of carpet or rugs.

Professional carpet cleaning is also a great option if you have carpet throughout your home and desire a completely thorough, deep clean. Prices will vary based on your location and the amount of carpet you have, but having a professional handle can alleviate lots of time and stress for homeowners which may justify the costs.

The best option depends on your household, budget, and cleaning needs. If you have kids, pets, or frequent spills, owning a carpet cleaner is convenient because you can tackle stains immediately before they set. Renting a carpet cleaner is often cheaper than buying and gives access to powerful machines without the hassle of storage or maintenance, making it ideal if you only need occasional deep cleaning. For example, if you have a cream shag rug, having a cleaner on hand can help maintain its softness and bright appearance. Professional carpet cleaning is great for homes with extensive carpeting or if you want a thorough, deep clean. While more expensive, it saves time and effort and ensures excellent results.
