You can rent a machine at Shaws. It's .... okay. I expect there are better ones. But it did something to our carpets, based on the perverse amount of dirty water we threw out at the end! Of course, the carpets in question really just need replacing more than anything else. But we moved, so that all works out. That's the only thought I have.

If you decide you want to DIY and need help getting it upstairs, give me a holler and I can help.
