Steam cleaner rental 

To achieve a really deep clean to best tool for the job is a steam cleaner. For most people deep cleaning is an occasional requirement and so buying a machine for this purpose is probably not economic and so hiring or renting a machine is the best option. Before taking this course of action there are some point worth considering.

Renting a steam cleaner: things to think about

Capacity: What do you need the machine to do? What type of surface/item do you need to clean? How big is the area you need to clean and in what timescales? Unless you know answers to these questions, you won’t be able to narrow down the technical machine specifics to make an informed choice on the piece of equipment that is right for you.

Is it a steam cleaner you need? A true steam cleaner offers a ‘dry’ clean, although there can be confusion over the term ‘steam cleaner’. There are many machines called steam cleaners that give the appearance of using steam when they are really spraying small moisture particles that look like steam.

Is it just a steam cleaner you need? There are combined steam cleaner models to rent and buy that will provide you with a dry steam and a vacuum system in the same machine. This can often be more convenient as you have one piece of equipment for the whole clean.

Weight and size: From heavy duty industrial steam cleaners to the lightweight handheld models, there’s a lot to choose from. Don’t assume an ideal size and weight, be thorough in your approach and discuss the options with the person you expect to operate the steam cleaner!

Power: Is it correct to say that the more power a machine has, the faster and better your job will get done? Well, this may be true, but don’t forget to look at the power in relation to the machine’s weight and size, as well as the type of job you’ve got versus the extras/accessories that a machine has. Often you’ll find the benefits a particular attachment to a steam cleaner can offer you, makes all the difference for your bespoke job.

Renting a steam cleaner: organisational requirements and price

Rental period required: Companies offer different rental periods, from hourly to weekly and to longer term leasing arrangements. Make sure you rent the steam cleaner for no longer than you need it, equally, make sure you have accurately estimated the time it will take to do the job as you don’t want to leave the job half done or face additional rental costs to extend your contract at short notice.
