The tools you need for DIY cleaning are readily available at your local hardware store – brooms, microfiber wipes, grime remover, mops, etc. Sometimes these are not enough to give your home a deep clean. Big jobs such as carpet vacuuming, high window washing, and floor scrubbing require specialized equipment that are too expensive to buy.

If you need a high-performance and affordable solution for your spring cleaning, consider renting equipment.

Most people rent cleaning equipment for a day, once a year. If you are cleaning several areas in your home, check with the rental company if they would give you a discounted rate for multi-day rental. Please note that these machines can be heavy. You will have to load them into your vehicle, unload them at home, and push them around the house as you clean.
