Hi all, I am thinking of hiring a carpet cleaner, any suggestions or recommendations would be great.

It would need to be a firm that delivers as I don't drive.

Thanks in advance.

Argh, that's put a spanner in the works! I was going to recommend a Rug Doctor, like you can hire from Focus and B&Q.

What about having a ring around the carpet cleaning companies in your area? I know when my mother-in-law had hers done I remember thinking it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would have been.

Thanks ladies.

Ideally I want to get my own, but for the moment I just want to hire a machine and get all the carpets done myself.

I have the same one and they are wonderful and works really well. Bought it when I was pregnant. Only thing is my 17 month old is really afraid of it and screams really bad since 10 months old whenever i take it out. Therefore can only hoover when she is not around, but dont want to get rid of it

If you get someone in you can claim against your tax. I would get the yellow pages out and get quotes and ask how it takes for the carpets to dry as it does vary

Ah Bless :( My kids are grown up now but they used to ride on mine. :laughing: My eldest is 18 this year! and the hoover is still going :thumbsup:

We used a company called ChemDry and they came and did all the carpets and it was quite reasonable :thumbsup:
