Carpet Cleaning Tips: Doing it yourself

TIPS ON DOING YOUR CARPETS YOURSELF.
Before I give you a hand at doing it yourself, lets look at both the
advantages and disadvantages of cleaning your own carpet.

The Advantages:
No doubt that if you clean your own carpet you can save money.
Doing it yourself breeds a sense of accomplishment and skill that you
did not have before. It’s fun and exciting once you know the basics of
cleaning. You can select exactly what you want to clean, whereas a lot
of cleaners are not as flexible.
Whether you rent a machine or own your own, you can clean when
you want and do not have an appointment to make with an outside
firm. If you rent a machine you can use it all day or hang onto it for a
few days, whatever you need. Having a professional all day can run up
to $100 – $200.

The Disadvantages:
Carpet cleaning is not easy work, so do not let the machine
commercials on TV fool you into thinking that it is. When you see
those machines advertised, you often see a casually dressed woman
smiling with jewelry on and dress shoes. Prepare to sweat, maybe
curse, and get irritated. Especially when you consider the whole idea of
furniture moving. It is no fun at all. Go to a room in your home now
and move all the furniture out of its way then put it back…how was it?
