Even though carpet cleaning is a relatively simple process, this video did a great job of communicating how it works so I wont have any surprises or hesitations when I go to do it. And that 5 gallon pail tip was very helpful. Thanks a lot!
20 years ago this would have been a rocket science to me. This is the value you tube creates for such businesses. A happy customer.
So glad they showed the next step after pouring the dirty water in the toilet, is to flush the toilet. Very detailed instructions. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this video! Household chores are not my forte! I can’t tell you how many silly things I was doing wrong before I watched this! You saved my carpets! 🙏😊👍

Great to hear Sarah!
Honestly, this machine was brilliant. I done my stair carpet and its like a whole new carpet.
A very helpful step-by-step video. It's going to be such a pain to thoroughly vacuum, move furniture and get the machine, that I wanted to know HOW the Rug Doctor works before trying to use it. This video was so worth watching. I now know what to expect.

Just put your thoughts that in the end your carpet will be it's formal glory when you first moved in. Once you see the result you will smile after that ordeal. 👍
This video was so thorough and helpful. I appreciate all the tips and guidelines you incorporated. Will be renting a rug doctor from ACE soon!
These things work so good, I thought my carpet in my apt. was dark brown, it's actually light brown. 😖

Spent £2700 on a rug and had to throw it away because the rug doctor ruined it. After using the rug cleaner, the rug crinkled up and wouldn’t lay flat! So disappointing 😩
I didn’t realize Ace rented these and not do we need it, I’m thankful for the tips especially knowing about the tool!

Why did you use it if you didn't need it.
good to see an already clean carpet getting cleaned.
Let me say good video. I did not realize that my local ace rent carpet cleaners. Since I'm definitely renting one this week I might as well make it to my local Ace store. Everybody there are some of the nicest people in retail. I don't believe I have ever had an issue. I like the one-on-one customer service that ACE provides. This way when I go there to rent a machine I can get their opinion on what solutions that I need to do a good job on my carpet. I will definitely come back to this page and give a review.

Great video. I've used Rug Doctor rug machines many a time. QUESTION--- We will be cleaning 3 bedrooms in a home we are buying. We don't know if dogs lived there previously. Good idea to just use the Pet Cleaning solution?
@AceHardware
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Debbie, The benefit of the pet cleaning solution is that it includes in its formula a deterrent from pets remarking the spots. We suggest using the Pet Product if you see obvious signs of pet stains and/or if you have pets coming into the new home. Your pets may find that area and remark it. If you don't have pets nor see signs of pet stains, then just stick with the standard carpet cleaning solution since you don't need the deterrent benefit. Hope this helps! Good luck in your new home!

What on earth 🤣
Im paying 200 austrralian dollars for 5 rooms normal size from a franchisee with a professional machine. I decided it was best for an old carpet to ensure the best possible result. Machine to hire was 38 and i gues chemicals extra. Then have to collect and drop off machine which would take me an hour at least. Also machine must be returned clean. Maybe next time i will hire one out.
Wow sir I’m sure my water is going to be black! Thank you for this demonstration
Lol the toilet demo
Can you use it for car seat ?
just as FYI these go thru alot of Soap solution.. id recommend the big bottle!! i couldnt do more than 4 passes and the tank was empty!! it goes thru it fast
In the video you explain that hot water is your friend. Although the water you leave in the bucket that is not used up will turn cold.
can I use this in my cars???
If the carpet feels wet, can you pick up more wetness by making several passes without pressing the spray button?

Hi Larry, Unfortunately it will not work on hard surfaces like linoleum.
Filling a 5 gallon bucket with hot water is dumb. It will be room temperature by the time you are done with the first load.
He said "as long as you're cleaning every 4 months, one pass should be enough." I don't know anyone that rug doctors their carpet every 4 months.

Opaque? You mean transparent? Also on the instructions it doesn’t say fill the res. It says fill until FULL WHEN SCREEN IS COVERED HALFWAY. Also how fast are you pulling it back? Too slow waterlogs and too fast is ineffective

I'd say on a scale of 1-10 it's about a 4? When not filled with water, the Rug Doctor is about the same weight as a vaccuum. We suggest you fill it with the water it requires after bringing it upstairs. Hope this helps!
That carpet must have been pretty clean to begin with.....my water is black when I clean my carpets. 😬
