alternatives to expensive steam extraction

Hi all
occasionally (ok, 90% of the time) we have to have carpets steam cleaned after tenant leaves. I've been using the local full service carpet cleaning company and they do a wonderful, quick job, but the price is excruciating. ($70 plus per room). Do any of you know of a cheaper solution that comes close to steam extraction?? I don't think buying our own steam extraction van for 48 units is an option! We are slowly taking all carpets out and replacing with either click laminate / cheap wood veneer vinyl for low-mid and really high grade vinyl for upper level rents but we still have alot of salvageable carpet left so we'll need to be at mercy of steam for another couple years anyway. Any tips appreciated!
