Frequently asked questions

What type of cleaning equipment can you hire?

Hiring cleaning equipment is a great alternative to buying costly cleaning gadgets or paying for a professional cleaning service.

The type of equipment you can hire varies depending on the company. But as a general steer, most hire companies offer:

• Carpet cleaner hire – gives tired carpets and rugs a new lease of life

• Steam cleaner hire – revives grubby sofas and other upholstery such as curtains and rugs

• Floor scrubber hire – deep cleans hard floors

• Wet vacuum hire – freshens up marked, grubby carpets and rugs

• Gutter vacuum hire – removes debris, leaves, and any blockages from guttering and downpipes

• Pressure washer hire – cleans away muck and moss from building exteriors, driveways, and patios

Top tip – While most cleaning equipment hire companies offer delivery, sometimes you may need to pick up the equipment yourself. So, you’ll need to factor in transportation.

Can anyone hire out commercial cleaning equipment?

Absolutely. Many homeowners hire cleaning equipment for a deep clean of their homes. Whether it’s for a renovation project, an end-of-tenancy cleaning session, or just a thorough spring clean.

Most commercial cleaning equipment is straightforward to use. However, it’s worth remembering that this is heavy-duty equipment and isn’t the easiest to manoeuvre – so you’ll need to put your back into it!

Also, for more specialist equipment like industrial pressure washers, you may be required to undertake some basic training beforehand.

Thinking this is becoming a bigger job than you planned and would rather leave it to the professionals? More on that next.

How much do professional cleaning companies?

Rather than hiring equipment, it might be more cost-effective to hire a professional cleaning company. They’ll have all the right equipment and skills for a quality finish. Better still, other than some preparation beforehand, you won't need to do a thing!

To give you an idea of prices, if you hire a specialist carpet cleaning company, you can expect to pay between £60 - £120 per hour.

However, extra services such as Scotchgard cover, anti-insect treatment, or pre-treatment for stubborn stains will cost more.

How much does it cost to hire cleaning equipment yourself?

The cost of cleaning equipment depends on what you’re hiring and for how long. That’s why it’s best to contact a specialist cleaning equipment hire company directly to help you budget.

In addition to the hire fee, you may need to factor in costs for accidental damage cover. Some cleaning equipment hire companies include this in the flat fee, but it’s worth checking in advance.

What can I do to prepare for a deep clean?

Whether you're deep cleaning with hired equipment or leaving it to the professionals, there's work to be done beforehand. To tackle the job efficiently, all surfaces must be cleared, and furniture must be moved aside.

Taking an organised, methodical approach also helps. Like following the seven basic cleaning steps. Here's the process:

1. Clean from top to bottom – Always start cleaning at the highest point and work your way down. Whether that’s steam cleaning curtains or power washing an outside wall

2. Start with dry cleaning – If you plan to clean your carpets with a wet vacuum hire, always hoover them first to remove the worst of the dust and dirt

3. Work from the cleanest to the dirtiest areas – Start with the least dirty areas and finish with the dirtiest spots. Otherwise, you’re just spreading the grime around!

4. Use the right equipment – Make sure not to use heavy-duty equipment on surfaces that could scratch easily or snag. A commercial cleaning equipment hire company will advise on the best tools to use

5. Work room by room – Tackling the entire house in one go might feel too daunting and time-consuming. Working room-by-room is more doable

6. Let cleaning products work their magic – Allow cleaning solutions time to work on tough stains or heavily soiled areas before scrubbing

7. Regular maintenance – Keep on top of cleaning your most frequently used areas. After all, you don’t want all your hard work to go to waste!
