Carpet cleaning

**Fresh** · 7th February 2011

Am going to be moving flat in the next 4-5 weeks. Old flat has cream carpets and after 4 years of use are looking a little bit grotty. Am not keen to get professional cleaners in as they over charge and last time we paid �150 for them to do very little.

Anyone have any suggestions in terms of cleaning? Its a three bed flat with 3 flights of stairs and a living room. Anyone rented a carpet shampooing machine before? Any good?

I'd probably be looking to do the cleaning over a few days, not all at once.

Cheers.

I'm in an identical position to the OP, but the landlord's agents require a receipt for proof of work. They also require the same for an oven cleaning company.

So that's an easy �100 for something I could get the Mrs to do

I was down at the local Focus asking about this yesterday - they have the RugDoctor machines at �19.99 for the small one for 24 hours and �29.99 for the bigger one.

All you need to take is photo id and proof of address and you're all sorted!
