Good Carpet Cleaner

[Eve]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good one?

I have a rug that could do with a bit of a general spruce up, no specific stains or anything like that.

It's fairly large so would be tricky to take to a dry cleaners and I don't drive so getting (and using) anything like those Rug Doctors would be tricky and much more costly.

I'm toying with the idea of treating myself to having someone to come in and do a carpet clean to spruce them up a bit but waiting for some kind of offer.

I don't have any kind of carpet cleaning machine so it'd be a sit down and rub in then vacuum off when dry kinda jobby I'd need.

Thanks for any help :)

You don't know of anyone (or heard of anyone) with a Vax (or similar) cleaner you could borrow,Eve? That sounds like the best bet at the moment.

1001 Carpet Cleaner (spray on, leave for five minutes, quick rub in then vacuum off) is really good. We always have some in the cupboard for getting well used areas like the stairs back to spotless condition.
(Rug doctors are great, but a lot of work - they are very heavy and noisy and to be honest, the 1001 does a better job)

Thanks for the suggestions, very much appreciated, will give them a try.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a carpet cleaning, will ask around though.
