They generally leave far too much moisture and residue at the fibre base as they simply do not have enough suction to get it out.
Stay away from any company who uses the "Chem-Dry" cleaning method, it's a farce and does not clean well and will also leave splatter all over your walls from the rotating bonnet.

So you are saying that professional cleaning leaves the carpets cleaner than the Rug Doctor rental?
I have no plan to buy a machine, my intention was to rent the rug doctor.
The living room carpet is quite soiled due to the previous family wearing shoes indoors. Which is odd because they were generally very clean people elsewhere in the home.
