How often do you get your carpets cleaned? HIre it out, or DIY?

That sounds like a decent price to me. I tried to do it myself once, let's just say it turned out real bad. I've had it done since then professionally and it cost me $250. And j got pretty much the same as you.

 

That's good.

Yeah I had my guy do a couch and loveseat and 2 big ass chairs. That was over half of mine. Im glad that you're pleased. Plus you will recommend them to someone else. I had mine done by a locally owned company.

 

We have a couple area rugs and a guy comes and picks them up and brings them back clean. It costs us about S$110.

From what I can see, you can't rent carpet cleaners here. In fact, carpets are pretty rare in houses here.

 

Sounds like you got a good deal. How often you clean depends on the wear the carpet gets. At my house, we take our shoes off as soon as we come in so we are only walking on the carpet in socks. The carpet is vacuumed daily because of birds, so the carpet cleaner does not have to come out too often. Glad you are happy with the results.

 

I cheated.

I had all the carpet removed and hardwoods put in before we moved in. Rugs..they're picked up and returned. I do the upholstery myself.

I bought a $220 hoover steam cleaner two years ago. Use it often, saves a lot in the long run. My Jack Russel loves to dip up the back yard and bring it back in with him. I have a beige color rug and it looks pretty good.

 

I have an upright steam cleaner, a canister that was my grandmother's, and a small portable one I use on the cars. To go over the whole house including upholstery takes around half a day plus drying overnight.

 

I bought a steam cleaner in my last house. That was over 10 years ago. I think I may have used it once. I have no time to do it myself. I hired a professional to clean the apartment. He charged me $80 for a master bedroom and the large living room, plus a small hallway. He didn't have to move any furniture. He also didn't use my electric or water. Everything was in his van. He brought the carpets back to life. I was very impressed. I will be using him again once there is no furniture upstairs.

 

Norwegian old fashioned way - throw on clean snow and sweep it out with a stiff broom - any dirt sticks to it - like slush.

 

I sell the equipment for a living so just do it myself with a demo machine

 

I'm an adamant DIYer and I would prefer to rent a machine and go crazy on everything in my house... I feel I have more of an accomplished feeling doing it myself. Although... if I wasn't so frugal, I'd be more than willing to give someone else a go.

 

I own an upright cleaner with attachments and it usually only comes out if one of the dogs get sick. Other than that it's usually just vacuum really.

When we moved into our condo, we hired someone to clean the carpets. It was worth the money and I will never rent a DIY machine again. That said, we will be moving in a couple of years and hardwood floors will be a must. I don't like carpet.
