Cleaning the rugs is one of those things that you need to do every once in a while even though it is something no one likes to do. Well, at least I don’t like to but that is where I am right now.
We have been in our house for two years now and I haven’t cleaned the rugs yet. Thankfully I only have the three bedrooms, 2 sets of stairway and a little hallway to do but just typing that makes me realize that is still a lot of carpet to clean. The rest of the house is hardwood which gets swept and mopped on a regular basis so we are covered there.
So here I am at a crossroads; do I clean the rugs myself because we do own a carpet cleaner or do I pay between $200-250 to have it done for me? I am not typically a lazy person but I have ZERO interest in spending four to five hours cleaning the rugs when a professional will probably knock it out in less than two hours but then again I need to pay for that fast no hassle on my part service. It’s not like we have luxury rugs or anything like that so I guess if push comes to shove I could clean them myself but just the thought of having to do it is making me tired and sore. I keep thinking about how I will need to dump the dirty water and fill it with clean water every 15-20 minutes and over 5 hours that is 15 trips to the sink. Do you see where I am going with this now? Fifteen trips to the sink or 200-250 hard earned dollars for someone to do this strenuous work for me.
I am not 100% sure what I am going to do but I am leaning towards doing it do I can spend that $$$$$ somewhere else on something more fun than carpet cleaning?
In your opinion what should I do?
