Rug Doctor built its reputation through a nationwide rental machine network — the iconic red machines found at grocery stores and home improvement retailers across the US. The brand pioneered the consumer hot-water extraction concept and remains the dominant name in rental carpet cleaning equipment.
After being acquired by BISSELL in the early 2020s, Rug Doctor's cleaning solutions were reformulated and rebranded under the "Rug Doctor by BISSELL Professional" line. The underlying concentrated formula continues to be the standard solution paired with Rug Doctor rental machines, and the company's solutions are marketed as compatible with all leading upright carpet cleaning machines.
