Carpets are one of the first things people notice when they step into a home—for better or worse. In a rental, they endure even more wear—foot traffic from multiple tenants, pets, spills, and years of stain buildup. If you’re a renter, landlord, or property manager, carpets can be the difference between a smooth transition and a stressful move-out. They also have a huge impact on tenant satisfaction, online reviews, and how quickly a property rents again. That’s where professional carpet cleaning services from TruRinse® come in. We’ve been making Utah homes Truly Clean and Truly Rinsed® for over 15 years. Our TruRinse Solution made from natural ingredients, and powerful truck-mounted steam cleaning bring carpets back to life—leaving behind soft, fresh and clean carpets that have been Truly Rinsed.
First Impressions Matter — Especially in Rentals
If you were a possible tenant who walked into a potential rental and the first thing you noticed was dark traffic patterns in the hallway, a faint pet smell, and a suspicious stain near the bedroom door…
Would that make you feel comfortable paying and staying there? And then you’d also wonder: “If the carpets look like that, what else hasn’t been cared for or cleaned properly?”
For landlords and property managers, dirty carpets lead to:
- Negative first impressions that repel quality tenants
- Bad online reviews about “dirty carpets and floors”
- Lower perceived value of the property
- Longer vacancy periods leading to loss of income
For renters, staying in a place with unclean carpets can mean:
- Living with someone else’s mess, allergens, or odors
- Increased allergy or asthma symptoms
- A lingering “not quite homey” feeling
Why Carpet Cleanliness Drives Bad Landlord and Property Manager Reviews
Scan rental reviews and you’ll find a consistent theme: dirty or smelly carpets are one of the most common complaints about move-in condition.
Why does this happen?
- Tenants expect clean carpets at move-in—they feel disrespected when it’s not delivered
- Charging for carpet cleaning at move-out when the property wasn’t clean at the start sparks deposit disputes
- Photos showing stained carpets damage reputation
The easiest way to avoid these pitfalls? Have TruRinse® professional carpet cleaning services between every long-term rental tenant, and regular maintenance at your short-term rentals. It keeps everyone happy—and disputes out of deposits and reviews.
Why DIY Carpet Cleaning Doesn’t Work
A rented carpet machine may seem economical but can:
- Leave too much moisture, leading to mildew or odors
- Push stains deeper instead of removing them
- Leave soapy and chemical residue that attracts more dirt
- Be ineffective at neutralizing pet odors
At TruRinse, we remove dirt and allergens at the source using:
- Our TruRinse Solution made from natural ingredients — safe for kids, pets, and sensitive noses
- Truck-mounted hot water extraction — deep cleaning without oversaturation
- Fast dry times — most carpets dry in 8–10 hours
What Some of Our Customers Say
“Today was my first time working with TruRinse, and I am genuinely so happy with the results. Our very tiny apartment had some serious wear and it looks brand new after the cleaning. Chase was so kind, professional and quick! He was diligent about stains and problem areas, answered all my questions and got to work right away. The price was competitive and the results were amazing. Will definitely use TruRinse again!” ~Madison U.
“We had Tiegen from Trurinse Carpet Cleaning come out to clean our carpets, and we couldn’t be happier! He did a great job and was incredibly fast — hustling around to get everything done since we were short on time. Tiegen took the time to explain everything clearly and was super courteous throughout the entire process. Honestly, he did a way better job than a popular Instagram company we used last year who left water and hair all over the place. Tiegen was so nice and professional, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality carpet cleaning! ~T G
Benefits for Renters, Landlords, and Property Managers
- A Fresh, Healthy Home or Unit
No one wants to live on carpets that still hold dust, allergens, or odors from the last tenant. - Better Odds of Getting (or Returning) the Deposit
Many landlords require proof of cleaning. Even when they don’t, clean carpets remove one excuse for deductions—and property managers appreciate documented service records. - Protecting the Property’s Value
Regular cleaning keeps carpets looking newer for longer, reducing the need for replacement and protecting owners’ investments. - Streamlined Turnovers
Property managers can schedule cleanings as part of the turnover checklist, making showings faster and smoother.
Carpet Repairs & Inspections: Smart Investment Protection
Carpet damage doesn’t always mean replacement. Small problems like furniture indentations, ripples, or minor stains can often be repaired—saving landlords and property managers thousands.
At TruRinse®, we offer:
- Carpet stretching (eliminates trip hazards and wrinkles)
- Patching and pet damage repair
Pro Tip for Landlords & Property Managers: Pair your property inspections with carpet cleanings to:
- Catch minor damage early

- Refresh the unit before tenant turnover or seasonal change
This approach protects your carpet investment and helps with maintenance planning. Learn more about our carpet repair and stretching services here.
