But today let\u2019s focus on the opposite: what NOT to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong>Not Deep Cleaning at All<\/strong><br>Okay, this one is pretty obvious, but the biggest deep cleaning mistake you can make is to not deep clean at all! The benefits of deep cleaning are pretty obvious:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Helps remove dander allergens, dirt and stains you can\u2019t reach with normal vacuuming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeps your carpet looking newer for longer<br>We recommend deep cleaning your carpets twice a year, more if you have allergies, pets and kids, or in high-traffic areas. This will help keep the job manageable and ensure you see all of the benefits year-round.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not Using professional carpet cleaning solutions with your rental machine<\/strong><br>Invest in your carpet and time with the right cleaning solution. While baking soda and white vinegar are popularly used for cleaning, these should not be used with a carpet cleaning machine.&nbsp; We recommend sticking with professional cleaning solutions when deep cleaning your carpet. Our formulas work with the machine to deliver the best clean. In many ways, using the right cleaning formula is as important as choosing the right machine. Additionally, using the right formula will ensure you don\u2019t damage the machine and\/or your carpet. The bottom line? To maximize your results, we recommend that you use our carpet cleaning solutions. Just choose the one that is best suited to your needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not Using the Machine Properly<\/strong><br>Make sure you read and follow the instructions on the machine. Doing so will ensure you get the best clean and help avoid damage to your carpet and home. If you\u2019re concerned about how to use the machine properly, watch our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugdoctor.com\/rent\/how-to-use-a-carpet-cleaner\/\">general how to use video<\/a> find how to use instructions for each machine in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugdoctor.com\/support\/rental-support\/\">rental support area.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not Staying in Touch!<\/strong><br>Sign up for exclusive coupons and cleaning tips through our newsletter.
