If you’re physically unable to clean your carpets, hiring a carpet cleaner may be necessary. Steam or dry cleaning the carpets in your rooms can be a long, strenuous activity. Make sure you're physically up for the task.
You should also hire a professional if you don’t want to invest in the carpet cleaning tools and equipment. Renting a deep cleaner costs about $20 to $30 a day, according to Consumer Reports. You can also buy a steam cleaner — some models cost less than $100 while state-of-the-art cleaners can cost several hundred dollars.
And lastly, hiring a professional is a good idea if you’re moving out of a rented home or apartment. Professional companies can remove stains and spots that may help you get your security deposit back. Also, consider hiring a professional to clean your carpets if you're preparing to sell your home.
