Carpet Cleaning Will save you Money

May 22nd, 2010

Carpet cleaning ought to be a normal part of any homeowner’s cleaning routine. Almost all big carpet makers recommend professional carpet cleaning a minimum of once a year. After professionally cleaning carpets and rugs for decades I can honestly say that the majority of home owners do not pay attention to this recommendation. It is regrettable simply because proper yearly maintenance cleaning can prolong the life span of your costly carpeting.

Even though professional style carpet cleaning can’t truly be done with local rental equipment and common retail cleaning chemicals, many property owners search for methods to take care of their carpets and rugs without calling in the professionals. The important thing to cleaning your carpets properly is getting the proper carpet cleaning equipment to do the job and also the know-how to make use of that equipment properly. Professional carpet cleaning equipment can include shampooers, oscillating pad machines, hot water extractors, and vacuums. The second ingredient needed for appropriately cleaned carpets is using the appropriate cleaning chemicals and using them properly.

Normally the home owner should first seriously think about the type of carpet cleaning machines that may be used. It’s very unlikely that the home owner will buy commercial equipment which can run several thousands of dollars so most will be satisfied with the rentals at their neighborhood grocery store. Generally the option is between a shampooer or a so-called steam cleaner. The steam cleaner is just a wet vacuum having the ability to spray a cleaning solution. The truth is any home owner can replicate this process with a commercial model wet-dry vacuum cleaner along with a pump sprayer. The shampooer really does a better job of cleaning more often than not. But whatever machine is preferred, the homeowner must be cautious about leaving the carpets damp. Damp carpets and rugs can remain damp for days after cleaning when the cleaning solution and water isn’t extracted adequately. Not surprisingly this leads to mildew and mold in some instances.

The key to carpet maintenance is in fact routine dry carpet vacuuming. The regular vacuuming of carpets can extend their life and delay that call for professional cleaning. Certainly one has to decide how frequently vacuuming is required but I do know that in many cases people that vacuum a few times per week have the best looking carpets. That fine sand and soil that gets down into the fibers contributes to the regular wear if not eliminated. Nowadays, it appears that upright vacuum cleaners are among the most common vacuums available. It doesn’t matter what vacuum cleaner you employ, just remember to clean it out after each use.

So regardless if you have the experts clean your carpets or you do it yourself, remember proper care for your carpeting can help you save a lot of money on carpet replacement costs.
