Question: Can I use my own cleaning solutions in the rental machine?
Answer: Some rental machine providers will not guarantee the cleaning capabilities of their machines if you use your own cleanser. Their products are specifically designed to work with their machines. For instance, some of the machines work more efficiently if there are few suds produced by the cleanser. So they formulate their cleaning product that way. If you use your own solution, you could damage the rental machine. There are sometimes monetary consequences if you use your own product.
