Myth #5: I can do just as good a job with one of those do-it-yourself rental machines.
Wrong. The problem with the machines that you can rent at the local supermarket or hardware store is that they don’t get the water hot enough to truly get your carpet deeply cleaned, and they don’t have the suction power to remove the dirt and grime fully from your carpet. A rental machine costs roughly $300-$800. A professional portable machine costs at least $1,200, and most cleaners typically spend nearly $30,000 for a professional truck mount unit. Which of these systems do you think does a better job?
