These machines are usually smaller than the machines that professionals use but are still good enough for most problem areas. Some stores include the essential cleaning chemicals and some do not. Before your rent a carpet cleaning machine, make sure which chemicals are not included and have enough information on what chemicals to buy and in what amounts.

After shampooing, drain the water and shampoo from the machine, rinse it out, and replace with clear water. Run it through again and then reverse the machine to extract the water. Now you will have a carpet that is clean and fresh.
