How To Use A Rug Doctor Carpet Machine - Ace Hardware 

Even though carpet cleaning is a relatively simple process, this video did a great job of communicating how it works so I wont have any surprises or hesitations when I go to do it. And that 5 gallon pail tip was very helpful. Thanks a lot!

So glad they showed the next step after pouring the dirty water in the toilet, is to flush the toilet. Very detailed instructions. Thank you.

20 years ago this would have been a rocket science to me. This is the value you tube creates for such businesses. A happy customer.

These things work so good, I thought my carpet in my apt. was dark brown, it's actually light brown. 😖

Thanks so much for this video! Household chores are not my forte! I can’t tell you how many silly things I was doing wrong before I watched this! You saved my carpets! 🙏😊👍

A very helpful step-by-step video. It's going to be such a pain to thoroughly vacuum, move furniture and get the machine, that I wanted to know HOW the Rug Doctor works before trying to use it. This video was so worth watching. I now know what to expect.

Honestly, this machine was brilliant. I done my stair carpet and its like a whole new carpet.

If my carpet looked like that, I wouldn't clean it in the first place. LOL. Great video, thanks!

just as FYI these go thru alot of Soap solution.. id recommend the big bottle!! i couldnt do more than 4 passes and the tank was empty!! it goes thru it fast

I didn’t realize Ace rented these and not do we need it, I’m thankful for the tips especially knowing about the tool!

Helpful hint, do it on a day where is warm sunny and breezy, open all the windows and turn on fans, will dry much faster.

Let me say good video. I did not realize that my local ace rent carpet cleaners. Since I'm definitely renting one this week I might as well make it to my local Ace store. Everybody there are some of the nicest people in retail. I don't believe I have ever had an issue. I like the one-on-one customer service that ACE provides. This way when I go there to rent a machine I can get their opinion on what solutions that I need to do a good job on my carpet. I will definitely come back to this page and give a review.

Ace always does a great job explaining every little detail.

This video was so thorough and helpful. I appreciate all the tips and guidelines you incorporated. Will be renting a rug doctor from ACE soon!

good to see an already clean carpet getting cleaned.

Clear, helpful and easy to follow, thank you. I would like to add, it would have been great to have a sample of how to apply stain remover or sprays before and after for tough stains.

Very comprehensive and explained in a friendly way. I hope you wear ear protectors against the noise! God bless you!

This dude is so calming to watch. Thank you!

thank you, kind sir. this helped me and my mother

Nooooo! The video sped up RIGHT when he started cleaning & seeing how fast to move the machine was what I was watching to see 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

They are amazing. I have dogs and in the winter especially this machine comes in very handy

I was waiting to see a couple of dark spots disappear as you went over them but they were still there ! it turns out I need to clean my PC screen ha ha. Nice straight forward video thanks. right time to get on with it !

Thanks! I picked up one of these today and it did a great job. They're very easy to use

Is there way in the machine that lets us spray first, let the solution do its work then use the suction to absord the solution?

Why would he do a carpet cleaner demo using brand new carpet!!! Unbelievable!!!

If the carpet feels wet, can you pick up more wetness by making several passes without pressing the spray button?

Clear and straight to the point

I own one. Best machine ever!

Im paying 200 austrralian dollars for 5 rooms normal size from a franchisee with a professional machine. I decided it was best for an old carpet to ensure the best possible result. Machine to hire was 38 and i gues chemicals extra. Then have to collect and drop off machine which would take me an hour at least. Also machine must be returned clean. Maybe next time i will hire one out.

I fucking love you Ace Hardware. You are a Saint and a Scholar. Anyone/Everyone can count on Ace. fuck yeah. So helpful. 'cuse my French.

Just did this ... I love seeing the dirty water pour out lol

In the video you explain that hot water is your friend. Although the water you leave in the bucket that is not used up will turn cold.

@4:47 very helpful part about usage

looks good, going to give it a try in a few hours.

Do I press the red button on the main handle throughout?

'If you're cleaning your carpet every four months or so'. Lol no chance. Very helpful video especially the tips.

Very useful !! Thank you

Filling a 5 gallon bucket with hot water is dumb. It will be room temperature by the time you are done with the first load.

Great video. I've used Rug Doctor rug machines many a time. QUESTION--- We will be cleaning 3 bedrooms in a home we are buying. We don't know if dogs lived there previously. Good idea to just use the Pet Cleaning solution?

You didn't say anything about the two connections at the back! I picked mine up today and they are both disconnected. I can't get the thin one to connect

Great video, very helpful but missing how to connect the hand tool for stairs.

is it weird i could listen to him for hours explain stuff LOL

Wow sir I’m sure my water is going to be black! Thank you for this demonstration

I live in a camper will it mold my wood floor underneath the carpet??

ready to rent one today Thank you

It is an wonderful video and neatly explained . many thanks

Great video! I will b renting this machine very soon! Thank You!

Amazing insights!! Thanks Framework team!!

people know how to use soap and water. How to you put on the attachement?

I like the way how you clean your carpet by wearing shoes

Thanks a lot for making this video, it was extremely helpful

WHy is the tape sped up. we need to know how fast to move it.

Thanks

To be honest with You the Big Green Bissell is the Best.no coments

Great video ! !

Or buy them. They are so cool. 😎

Great video- thanks for all the details !

Great video thank you. We just bought one for our office.

Thank you!

Can you use it for car seat ?

Does it leave the rig really wet?

Can this be used on a sheep skin rug?

Great video. Thanks for the help

Opaque? You mean transparent? Also on the instructions it doesn’t say fill the res. It says fill until FULL WHEN SCREEN IS COVERED HALFWAY. Also how fast are you pulling it back? Too slow waterlogs and too fast is ineffective

can I use this in my cars???

Thank you, Lou!

Does this work with spilt soda/fizzy drink?

Ace is very helpful

His floor is pretty clean My carpet water was jet black

you did not show how to connect hand tool

gracias.😁😁

great. so very helpful

Really helpful video. Thank you

Is it safe to use clorox bleach in a rental machine? Is it heavy when pulling/ dragging back in comparison to a vacuum cleaner? I have limited mobility. Great clear instructions thank you😊

Thank you

The 1 I got has 2 tanks

It this worth it? Rental and buying the shampoo will be over 50.00. Plus picking it up and dropping it over and my time doing it. Company will do it all for 100.00. Do these do a better job than a steam cleaning company?

please do this oin a dirty carpet this shows us very little

Thanks for the info

Can you tell how loud is the machine from 1 to 10 and is it heavy to carry up the steps

Will it clean hard surfaces such as linoleum?

How heavy is the machine? Can a single person lift it into their vehicle alone?

Lol the toilet demo

What’s a quarter cup ?

Will this work on a carpet that has bad dog hair? And dust?

How long do you need to let the carpet dry once you've cleaned it?

Would this machine do well in tile?

Excelent 👍👍

His dirty water was white compared to what I got

sorrry , you said 1/4 cup per gallon...looks like you used 2/4 cup. If it's 5 gallons of water ....shouldn't it be 1 1/4 cup instead? thank you.

Are you from Wisconsin?

Great video, thanks Lou

You didn’t say anything about extraction of the water .

Does it leave you're carpet wet?

That carpet must have been pretty clean to begin with.....my water is black when I clean my carpets. 😬

ya use 5 gallon bucket full of hot water .Wrong. so when you eventually use the water in the bottom of the bucket 20 minutes later the water is cold. cold water does not clean carpet. Poor idea. use 2 1/2 gallons hot water in your bucket . leave the lid on the bucket to help keep the water hot.. Its best to have a 2 person job if you can ,one person mixes hot water/ fills the machine and emptys the tank, the other person operates the machine.

Yeah that waste water is drinkable comparison to what came out of my rug doctor 🤣

WOW AMAZING!!!! HOW ABOUT TRYING IT ON A DIRTY CARPET NOW!?

He said "as long as you're cleaning every 4 months, one pass should be enough." I don't know anyone that rug doctors their carpet every 4 months.

I just had to pay £170 for a carpet cleaning service. The quote said "lounge carpet - rug doctor damage" as a default field, not a manual input. Feel free to use one, im not going to anymore 😂
