The Importance of Value and Price.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.

When you select a carpet cleaner, you'll choose from a wide variety of cleaning methods and prices.

Having your carpet thoroughly cleaned by truck-mounted hot water extraction unit costs more than renting a shampooer at the corner grocery store. If you bought the most inexpensive carpeting you could find, then renting a small shampooer might be all you want to use. No question, it will get out some of the dirt - but the key word here is "some." It will not get out many of the pollens, chemicals, bacteria, and tobacco smoke residues.

On the other hand, if you bought high-quality carpeting, if you want it to look good and give you years of dependable service then you need to take extra good care of it. This means you need to have it cleaned by a skilled, qualified technician at least every six months to a year, depending on the amount of soiling and foot traffic it receives. And, you need to have it cleaned thoroughly and disinfected, as only a truck-mounted hot water extractor can do.
