This was really my first thought.

All the money you're going to spend on renting equipment, buying cleaning supplies, and stuff like that - just hire a carpet cleaning service instead. Like RJ says, it won't cost that much for an apartment (hell, if you just need one room done, next to nothing) and the results can be amazing. Their professional equipment is light years past what you rent at the grocery store.

Work smarter, not harder.
