- Rug Doctor locations: Enter your ZIP code on their website to find nearby rental locations offering professional-grade carpet cleaning machines for 24 or 48 hours, with prices starting around $39.99 for 24 hours
. Rug Doctor machines are also available to rent at stores like Johnsons Dry Cleaners, B&Q, and other authorized outlets in the UK, with rental prices typically between £26 and £37 depending on duration and machine type
- Home improvement stores: Lowe's and The Home Depot offer carpet cleaner rentals at their local stores. You can pick up the machine and cleaning formula in-store and return it after use
- Grocery stores: Some grocery chains like Giant Eagle rent BISSELL carpet shampooers. You can find a nearby store using their locator and complete a rental agreement at the service counter
- Equipment hire companies: Companies like HSS provide lightweight, portable carpet cleaners for hire, often with optional upholstery attachments and cleaning fluid available for purchase
- Other regional options: In Australia, Britex offers carpet cleaner rentals across major cities and regional areas
When renting, you typically need to provide ID and a deposit, which is refunded when the machine is returned clean and undamaged. Rental periods are usually 24 or 48 hours, and cleaning detergents are sold separately or included with the rental. Some rentals also offer attachments for upholstery and car interiors
. If you want to find a rental near you, using the Rug Doctor rental locator or checking local Home Depot, Lowe's, or grocery stores is a good start
