Your rugs and carpet are under constant assault from tracked-in dirt, stains, pet fur and dander, and spills. Vacuuming may remove the surface dirt and make your carpet superficially clean, but many of the substances that get into your carpet will not come up without a deeper cleaning process. If you live alone, without pets or children, you may only need to shampoo your carpet occasionally. If this is the case, it might make more sense to hire a carpet cleaning Melbourne professional than to purchase your own carpet cleaner machine. If, on the other hand, you have a full house, with many potential spills and odors, a quality carpet cleaner would be a wise investment.

There are many types and sizes of carpet cleaning machines available on the market today, with a wide range of prices. Finding the cleaning appliance to meet your needs depends on a number of considerations:

• Price: Carpet cleaners can range in price from around $75 all the way to more than $500. An exorbitant price does not necessarily mean the best machine.
• Shampoos and treatments: Some machines can only utilize special shampoos and solutions. If you're not careful, you may buy a relatively inexpensive cleaner only to find yourself paying ridiculous amounts of money for the "exclusive” treatments you have to buy for it. Consider the availability of the supplies, also; if you can't find them, you can't clean your carpet with them.
• Type of carpet. Delicate carpets with unusual naps, or easily stained carpets may require a special kind of cleaner. You should read the cleaning and warranty information on new carpeting to find out what type of cleaning is recommended.
• Size of rugs and carpets: If you only have occasional rugs or small carpeted areas, you may only need to buy a spot cleaner or a lightweight steam vac instead of a heavy-duty shampooing machine.
• Features: Carpet cleaners can come with scores of add-on features. Some may have upholstery-cleaning attachments, bare-floor settings, heated clean-water reservoirs, rotating brushes for spot removal, or special stain-fighting features. You can avoid spending too much money on your rug cleaner by only buying one with only features you will use regularly.
