It takes many years for carpets to wear out, and very high quality carpets and rugs can last for generations. However, they do become dirty and unappealing over time, so a deep cleaning is called for at least every few years. Over time and with regular foot traffic over them, carpets inevitably begin to show the signs of grime and accompanying discolouration.
It has been stated that eighty percent of the dirt on carpets comes from the soles of our shoes, which is a scary thought, but how many of us immediately take our shoes off at the front door? In addition, spills and dirt which are not properly cleaned up at the time they occur will result in stains which cannot always be removed with off-the-shelf cleaning products. Since carpets and rugs are such an integral part of any interior space, a dirty appearance will detrimentally affect the overall appeal of the area, as well as providing a breeding ground for germs and bacteria to flourish.
Carpet cleaning specialist companies take on both minor and larger cleaning jobs in the industrial, commercial, corporate, hospitality and residential spheres. These are experienced and knowledgeable technicians who are skilled in assessing whether the carpets can be cleaned through milder soap-and-water methods or require deeper chemical cleaning. They have to determine what materials were used in the manufacture of the carpet or rug, for example wool or acrylic fibres, in order to decide which method of cleaning to employ.
They know that carpets do not respond well to being cleaned using large amounts of water, and can easily be damaged, shrink or buckle when cleaned this way. Cleaning specialists may use various methods to deep clean carpets, including steam vacuum cleaning or extraction techniques, which leave the carpet relatively dry during the cleaning process. You may be given the option, after cleaning, of a stain repellent chemical to be applied to the carpets to assist in maintaining cleanliness for a longer period, but this may come with an additional charge, so check this beforehand.
One of the major advantages of using a carpet cleaning company is that they will move the furniture out of the way and replace this once the carpets have been cleaned.
This is a major issue in any areas where there is heavy or bulky furniture which requires more than one or two people to move it. For the homeowner, in particular, this is an important factor to be taken into consideration, and all private and business sectors necessarily need the cleaning process to be completed efficiently and within a short period of time in order to minimise disruptions to the normal routine of the day.
A cleaning technician will be pre-inspect the rugs or carpets to assess how dirty they are, and if there are specific areas where stains need to be pre-treated with a powerful stain-remover prior to the commencement of the cleaning process. You can be assured that a carpet cleaning company will manage to remove ingrained stains and marks which have withstood all your own efforts using off-the-shelf cleaning products. Be aware, though, that they cannot remove burn marks, which cause permanent damage to carpets or rugs. In such cases, you would need the services of a carpet specialist. See Uptasker for carpet specialists in your area, together with their online reviews.
Carpet cleaning services can be found quite easily, by looking through newspapers, home catalogues, the Yellow Pages or via the internet, using valuable sites such as Uptasker, which includes online reviews. Such reviews are extremely important in choosing the right specialist for your needs. They are the next best resource to word-of-mouth testimonials from colleagues and friends. You want to know that your home or business premises will be treated with respect by the carpet cleaning technicians, and that the results will be what you expect from the service. Any potential problems with the cleaning procedure should be identified and resolved prior to the commencement of the cleaning, such as short-term storage or temporary placement of furniture, desks, etc. during cleaning, on-going access to the premises, pre-treatment of deep-seated stains, and time required to complete the job. Check and agree costs prior to going ahead, and ensure that the costs include pre-treatment of areas with severe soiling, if applicable, and the application of a dirt-repellent chemical to the cleaned carpets, if offered and accepted.
Although our carpets and rugs add elements of luxury, comfort and appeal to our daily lives, we do not always treat them with the care they deserve. Apart from regular vacuuming and the occasional spot clean of a spill, we seem to believe that specialist deep cleaning on a fairly regular basis is not necessary. Don’t wait until your carpets or rugs are in an unhygienic and dirty state which not only look unattractive but are possible health hazards. Ask a carpet cleaning specialist to quote you on one of the easiest ways to brighten up your environment and deep clean your carpets regularly. For more tips, see our carpet cleaning articles.
