Need to clean five rooms, a hallway, landing and two flights of stairs in a London Victorian terrace house. The carpets are probably 20 years old and fairly grubby. I’ve seen normal carpet cleaning, carpet dry cleaning and carpet steam cleaning by different companies that will come do it. Or I could hire a machine and do something myself. What do people recommend for best cleaning, value, ease?

I really need to get our carpets cleaned and have found a lot of coupons for different companies. The prices look like they vary a lot for the same services. Is there any difference or does everyone have the same tools and will do the same job? Anybody have experience or advice to share on this? Any good companies in Austin, TX?

I asked different companies and found the price varied from to 0. I am so confused. One company said that steam cleaning didn’t include the chemical liquid and only deep cleaning did. I have no idea about what a normal carpet cleaning process. I don’t want to be rip off.
