Horrendous smell after using Rug Doctor We hired a Rug Doctor for the weekend, to clean all the carpets in our house. It was the worse experience. Using the cleaner itself it pretty straight forward and we followed the instructions to letter. However, the next day and over the coming days the smell from the carpets was awful. It smelt like dirty drains. My whole house stinks. I have had to borrow a Vax machine and go over all the carpets, in all the rooms, time and time again to try to remove the smell. It is slowly clearing, but it has been a whole week now and we are cleaning the carpets again daily. I spoke with a friend of mine and she said she had exactly the same problem, the smell of the carpets afterwards is horrendous. I would steer well clear and I definitely won't be using them again

Hire machine heavy, hard to manoeuvre and unsuited to domestic uses Carpets cleaned ok but poor suction on the main machine meant I needed to use the hand tool to vacuum up moisture over the whole carpet. The main machine is also very heavy, unwieldy and impossible to manoeuvre in small rooms. The professional hire machine is poorly suited to domestic situations.

The machine we rented did not work… The machine we rented did not work properly. It deposited dirty water all over the carpet and didn’t suck it up, leaving our carpet dirtier than before we cleaned it! It also did not remove any of the stains we wanted to remove, so it was completely useless. We got a refund.

Don't waste your time or money renting from a locker. I had one machine which had been… I had one machine which had been reported faulty and was still full of water when i collected it which made it really heavy and also ruined my jumper. The second one leaked and soaked my carpets. They refunded me but I will be spending the money on a new jumper. Don't bother renting from a locker as the products are cleary not maintained.

Terrible, swerve, DOESN'T WORK Terrible, cost me £43 for hire of equipment and bottle of cleaner. Which fine I understood price when booked . However I was expecting carpet cleaner to clean carpet. How mad I am. Carpet has taken over 34hours to dry. Hardly any dirty water in dirty water bin after cleaning carpet. No difference in carpet. It actually looks worse than it was originally. The carpet was not dirty my wife decided she would like it freshened up.
