Yes, fully unwind the cable and check there are no splits, gouges or tears. Also, inspect the plug. If you notice any faults, don’t use the machine. Return it to the rental outlet and advise them of the damage so we can arrange repair.

This may vary by store, so give your rental outlet a call to find out. If you’ve booked through one of our self-service stores, get in touch with Rug Doctor customer services before you are due to collect the machine.

If you book online with a store that offers self-service, you’ll be provided with an in-store locker number and code. In the store, choose and purchase your cleaning solutions from the Rug Doctor display by the checkout. Then, find your assigned locker and enter your code. Take the machine along with a welcome pack, and you’re good to go.

Find out more about our handy self-service lockers in the video below or here.

Some rental outlets require a deposit to ensure that the machine is returned in a clean condition. The deposit amount may vary by store.

• Payment with cash: We accept recent household bills or bank statements together with your photo driving license.
