Most people have seen or heard the advertisements that carpet cleaning companies run to demonstrate how old, filthy carpet can be brought to life again and make it look fresh. You may be wondering if this is true for your carpets. Children, pets and high traffic can make your carpet appear old and worn-out. Replacing it is too expensive, so you could hire a company to clean them. Open the link.

You can find carpet cleaning services all over the place. They advertise on billboards and in phone books, plus you may receive discount coupons in local newspapers. Before you call to schedule an appointment with a carpet cleaning company, do some research and find out which one offers what you need. Some companies will not have the right cleaning abilities to clean your home. Be sure to ask this prior to calling them to give you an estimate.

There are four main types of carpet cleaning that can be used for domestic carpet cleaning: shampoo, dry clean, steam clear, and foam cleanse. Some cleaning companies do not offer all of these types of carpet cleansing. No matter which company you choose, they should vacuum your carpet first. To get the best deep clean in your carpet, all loose dirt and debris must be removed before any foam or damp solution is used.

The minimum effective strategy for cleaning carpets is to shampoo. The method involves applying a large amount of water and detergent to the carpet and then vacuuming up “some”. The majority of carpet shampoo, and the water that is in the carpet can cause damage to the backing as well as mildew or mould growth under the padding. Although the preliminary results are very promising, they should not be considered final if other options have been tried.

Some companies use dry cleaning. The carpets are not soaked in water. It works using a powder which attracts dirt deep within the carpet. Then, the dust is vacuumed. This method is less likely to damage the carpet, but it does not remove all of the dirt and stains.

Foam cleaning is a combination of shampooing and dry cleaning. This process does make use of some water, but not as much as shampooing. This method uses “dry” soap that is spread over the entire carpet and then scrubbed into it with a scrubber. The foam can be allowed to completely dry before vacuuming. It is more effective than the dry-cleaning method, but it’s still not as simple.
