I'm a cleaning fan & I saved a fortune on getting a pro carpet cleaner in, I used a savvy hack & it's super clean | The Sun

GETTING a professional in can be costly, especially when it comes to deep cleaning. 

Having a more thorough scrub down on household items can push the price up as professionals will use industry tools to get a better clean. 

But one money saver has discovered just the trick to getting an ‘industry’ clean for cheap on her rug. 

The average hourly rate for a carpet cleaner is around £60 to £120 per hour, according to Check A Trade.

Liz Neptune instead took her rug to a car wash, and used their jet washer instead.
