How To Use A Rug Doctor Carpet Machine - Ace Hardware

 

Setting Up The Rug Doctor To Clean Your Carpets

The Rug Doctor is obviously a popular piece of equipment for rug cleaning DIY'ers and those wanting to save a bit of money over professional carpet cleaning services. Does the Rug Doctor work? Yes, it absolutely does! The problems with the Rug Doctor surface when the people who rent it either have a poor understanding of the machine or limited experience with cleaning carpets all together which often leads to a poorer than expected result after they are finished.

Today, I am going to explain the proper way to set up a rug doctor so the next time you get one home, you will walk away completely satisfied with the job it does on your carpets. Let's get started!

1. When you get the Rug Doctor Home, unlock the handle and swing it out and up into the upright position. There are 4 to choose from. Choose whichever one seems like it will be the most comfortable for an extended day of cleaning (we are speaking of ergonomics here!)

2. When operating, the 2 needle jets on the bottom of the machine deliver a measured amount of cleaner through the nozzles and onto the rug. The row of bi-directional brushes operate at 3200 cycles per minute allowing every side and angle of the carpet fiber to get scrubbed. A vacuum extracts 80% of the cleaning solution from the carpet right after use. The Rug Doctor is fairly bulky, therefore you will need to remove all of the furniture from the room before starting the machine.

3. Give the carpet a thorough vacuuming to remove and surface dirt and debris. This will allow the deep cleaning of the Rug Doctor to be more effective.

4. To add the Rug Doctor cleaning solution to the machine, fill a bucket with approximately 8 liters of warm tap water. Shake the Rug Doctor solution thoroughly and then add 150 ml to the bucket of warm water. This will be enough solution to clean one full sized room.

5. On the Rug Doctor, there are 2 compartments for fluids, one at the bottom (this is the compartment to put the clean solution) and the upper tank, which is where the cleaner goes after it is used and sucked back up by the machine. In order

to reach the red base tank to fill it with clean solution, you will need to remove the upper recovery tank.

To remove the recovery tank, simply un-clip the retaining handle from the top of the unit, and fold it down and out of the way. Once un-clipped, the recovery tank will lift easily out of the way giving access to the lower tank. Now, you can pour your bucket of clean solution into the lower tank. Once your solution is in the lower tank, replace the recovery tank and re-clip the handle to hold the components in place.

6. The last step needed for your Rug Doctor setup is to look on the top of the machine. That is where you will find a white rocker switch. One setting on the switch is for 'hand tool'. The other side of the switch is for 'carpet cleaning'. Make sure the switch is set to 'carpet cleaning' in order to commence the job.

If the switch is set to 'hand tool' it will spray a continuous steam of cleaning solution onto the carpet soaking it far too much (as well as getting your carpets far too wet) to be cleaned properly. Just make sure before you start cleaning to have that switch set properly.

That concludes the simple steps needed to be taken in order to set up your Rug Doctor for proper carpet cleaning. Later, I will be examining the proper steps to take to do the cleaning itself. Stay tuned!

SHOCKING SATISFYING CARPET CLEANING / RUG DOCTOR CARPET CLEANER REVIEW/ WATCH STAINS DISAPPEAR #AD​.

 

Reasons the Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner is the Carpet Cleaning King

Rug Doctors have been around a long, long time. They were the original method people used when they wanted to clean their carpets. Amazingly, even with all the new innovations in technology, they are still going strong, and you can still find them at many supermarkets and rental stores. In fact, in 2009 the company issued a statement that they had had the highest number of rentals in company history during the past year. While other companies in the rug cleaning sector were faced with falling rentals and sales, Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner continued going strong. What is it about them that makes them so much more popular than the competition?

There are several reasons why so many people turn to the convenience of a Rug Doctor. One is that they are so readily available. You don't have to look high and low to find one when you're ready to clean your carpets, because they are available in so many places. Even the smaller town I used to live in had four or five places where you could rent one.

Another reason so many people choose Rug Doctor is because they do such a good job. Online reviewers rave about what a tremendous job the machines have done. They say that they were amazed when these compact cleaners actually did a better job than professionals. In addition, reviewers will tell you that they were attracted by the low cost to rent the machine as opposed to what they had to pay for other options and that Rug Doctors are very simple to use and to maneuver. One reviewer stated that she was 83 and felt that if she could do it, anyone could.

Although there are many different types of carpet cleaning machines available for sale, none can measure up to the Rug Doctor. Maybe you never realized that you can also purchase a Rug Doctor and have one in your home. I'll warn you that these heavy-duty machines do not come cheap; however, you get what you pay for. And you always have the option of renting a cleaner which will only set you back between $20 and $30 plus the cost of the cleaning product you use. When you consider what professional carpet cleaning company is going to charge you, Rug Doctors are truly a bargain.

Keeping your carpets clean is the only way to ensure they stay looking and feeling fresh.
