Q: Can you rent or buy a steam cleaner?

• <div><p>Yes, you can rent or buy a steam cleaner. A heavy-duty steam cleaner costs between <b>$175 and $250</b> at most retail outlets and online. You can also usually rent one for around <b>$40 per day</b>.</p><p>Most of the larger machines you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-steam-cleaner-rental-5-things-you-need-know.htm">rent from a hardware or grocery store</a> have a larger water reserve and a heating element. Both operate by moving slowly and methodically over the carpet. Whether you rent or buy a unit, you will want to stay off your carpet for at least <b>12 to 24 hours</b> while they dry.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a carpet cleaner and a carpet shampooer?

• <div><p>A carpet cleaner uses steam to penetrate the fibers of your carpet and remove dirt, while a carpet shampooer uses a detergent to clean the carpet&rsquo;s surface. These are both efficient methods of cleaning your carpet, but steam cleaners do a better job of sanitizing the surface of the carpet.</p></div>

Q: Where does the dirt go when you steam clean?

• <div><p>Unless you have a steam cleaner with an extractor (which is what most professionals use), a steam cleaner only breaks up all the dirt and grime stuck to your flooring and doesn&rsquo;t actually remove the dirt. After a steam clean, the key to getting rid of dirt and grime is going back over it with a vacuum, mop, or microfiber cloth. </p></div>

Q: Does blood come out of a carpet?

• <div><p>It is possible to get blood out of a carpet, but it is a difficult process in some cases, especially if the blood has dried. It&rsquo;s best to address the blood stain as quickly as possible before the proteins in the blood bind to the carpet fibers. Start by blotting with just cold water, then with cold water and dish soap. From there, move on to more aggressive options as needed, such as enzymatic stain removers, hydrogen peroxide solutions, or ammonia solutions.</p></div>

Q: Is peroxide or vinegar better for urine smell?

• <div><p>Hydrogen peroxide is usually better for getting rid of urine smells on hardwood than vinegar. Unlike vinegar, hydrogen peroxide is odorless. This can be advantageous if you have a dog that likes to mark areas with a strong scent. Also, hydrogen is a strong oxidizer that can break down bacterial odors, and it is less likely to remove the finish on hardwood flooring than vinegar. Never mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. This creates corrosive and toxic peracetic acid.</p></div>
