We're thinking of hiring a RugDoctor to clean some of our carpets.
This is to get them from filthy to acceptable rather than trying to
get them looking pristine.

The Rug Doctor is the DIY hire version of the self contained brush
extractors used in hospitals, hotels, exhibition halls, clubs etc.

It will bring filthy carpets to pristine standards with little effort.

So, does the RugDoctor do a good job in general. Alternatively would
we do better (or as well) if we bought a Bissell or Vax carpet cleaner
(probably going for one of the Which recommended ones)?

'Which' know very little about carpet cleaning IMO. Bissel & Vax machines
are either dry foam, or minimum duty extractors. If you decide you want a
machine of your own go for a Numatic 'George'.

To prevent spots becoming stains use the Rug Doctor Carpet Shield. Does
what it says on the tin.
