Rent a steam cleaner from a neighbor near you
Grout, tile, ovens and upholstery come clean with steam, and a deep clean like that happens a couple of times a year. Borrow a canister steamer with the brushes and do the whole house in a day.
What it costs to rent a steam cleaner
Rental counters typically charge about $15 to $35 a day for a steam cleaner, plus a damage waiver and tax. On Rentsome, neighbors set their own daily rate, and it is usually lower because they are not running a store. Every booking adds a 15% service fee (minimum $2) and sales tax, both shown before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held on your card, never charged, and released 72 hours after you return it.
A new steam cleaner runs roughly $80 to $300. At about $25 a day, renting stays cheaper until you have used it around 8 days in total, before counting storage, maintenance and the resale value you never get back.

Renting a steam cleaner: common questions
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
