Rug Doctor

Have you ever rented one? How much is it and do they work? I want to buy a carpet cleaner so bad, but can't afford one right now.

my mom used them all the time when I was younger. Not sure how much they are.

Yeah we rent them every once in while . . .
I should do that again soon!
They work ok.

Do you think it's worth it, or should I just wait until I can buy a carpet shampooer?

It's worth it if your carpets are dirty! lol

Well we have only been here since July, and they cleanes them before we moved in, but there are still some spots that are dirty. It's not from us, so I don't know if they will even get clean.

I don't know how much help the rug doctor will be for major stains . . .

They are just little, but they are driving me crazy. I know they are not from us. They are in places we haven't even barely walked, and under area rugs.

try spray 9, you can get it at home depot or lowes

Is it in the cleaner stuff?

We use the Rug Doctor at my parents hotel. It cleans great...but they use a different cleaner than what comes with the Rug Doctor my grandpa makes his own "special concoction"

You guys should bottle it and sell it!

well it never is the same...he just pours a little of this, and a little of that...and then some of this...

yea and they sell it at ACE's too

It depends how dirty the carpet is.

I got the rug doctor and it was GREAT for big areas
(empty rooms). It's a pain in the back if you're tall because the handle doesn't go up that high. It did really well on my dad's house though.

The downside is that you can't get into nooks and crannies.

I used the cleaner for the rug doctor and when that ran out, I used Bissell.

I really want to buy a shampoo-er.... but Kenny, God love him, just yanked up all the carpet in our bedroom and installed hardwoods! .... so now the only areas with carpet are Mackenzie's playroom and bedroom and upstairs! Thank Goodness! they will all be tackled next!
