Carpet cleaner is used to help with cleaning carpets. The average price of carpet cleaner depends on several factors including the type, volume and strength of the cleaner.
The best way to save on cost with a carpet cleaner would be to just rent one from the store. You can rent one from a Lowe's or a Kroger for about $20 a day.
The average cost to purchase a carpet cleaning machine will run about $400.
The price of renting a carpet cleaner at Home Depot is about $18 for four hours. The amount increases the longer you have it.
Prices would range from $2-$12 depending on the carpet and padding selected.
for rug doctors (which are great in my experience), the smaller Rug Doctor machine, also known as the Mighty Pack®, rents for $20 to $25 depending on store and market area. The Wide Track carpet cleaner rents for $25 to $29. Also, don't forget the cleaner. It will cost around $10 for a good bottle of carpet cleaner. You do not have to use theirs but make sure the brand you get says it is safe for carpet.
This depends on the length of time that you need the cleaner. Normally you can rent it for $200 per day.
The only auto carpet cleaner, I think I know of is the rug doctor. It could gotten at bj's. They have car things there for anyone to buy. That is my thought on what direction to go.
I was thinking about buying new carpet. How much, on average, would a carpet installation cost me?
Cheap carpet cleaning is not the best route to go, and rental cleaners are hard to use. 1 800 cleaners are the best carpet cleans for the cost avalible.
The average cost for a carpet cleaner rental is around $20-$32 a day for an average-sized carpet cleaner. For a wider one, it can be anywhere between $25-$32 a day. If you want to rent a hand wand, that's usually an extra $3 for 24 hours. Some places may also require you to make a refundable deposit of around $40-$50.
"If you want to clean a carpet in your private home, the best (and most cost effective) way to do it would be to rent a carpet cleaner, a service that is available at many grocery store chains. You will also need to purchase the cleaning solution to fill the machine. For small cleaning jobs, a spot cleaner such as the Rug Doctor may work the best."
