Carpet cleaning can be tiresome, inconvenient or even time consuming. Don’t get me wrong, I am not implying you are lazy. Carpets can be very hard to clean especially if they are stained with a variety of stains that you know nothing about. So, what do you do if your carpet cannot clean your carpet yourself? Take it to the professionals. You definitely read that right; there are indeed professional carpet cleaners who have both skills and knowledge with regards to different types of carpets. The problem may not be your cleaning skills; in fact you may be the whole package when it comes to cleaning carpets. It is thus important to consider a carpet cleaner if that is the last hope for your carpet. Professional cleaners mostly carry out the cleaning process in the owner’s house which makes is it easy to watch the cleaning process.
Carpet cleaners can reap you off and it is thus important to know what to expect off them. It is also helpful to ask them questions that can ascertain the validity of the service they are providing to you. The cleaning process follows a few basic steps. Dry soil removal, this is the first thing the cleaner should do to the carpet. This act removes most of the dirt particles for the carpet and is done using an upright vacuum cleaner. It is similar to the normal vacuum cleaning done at home.
Soil suspension is the second thing a carpet cleaner does to the carpet. After dry soil removal, not all the soil or dust has been sucked out of the carpet. Some dust is still entrapped between the carpets fabrics. This stage of cleaning is meant to disentangle the fibre network of the carpet so as to free the dirt. It involves application of certain specially formulated chemicals. These chemicals are specific to each type of carpet under the manufactures directive. It is thus important to look up the guidelines given by the manufacturer regarding your carpet just to be sure.
Soil extraction takes place once the trapped soil has been disentangled from carpet fibre. Soil removal involves the use of wet vacuuming, rinsing and finally dry vacuuming. Hot water extraction is the most used method of extraction. The next step is grooming. As the name suggests, grooming does not necessarily imply soil removal. It involves improving the appearance of the carpet by carrying out activities such as spreading out the fibre evenly which prevents matting and distortion. Finally, the carpet is dried. No one wants a damp carpet since it presents a certain odor and easily accumulates dust.
Hiring professionals to do your carpet cleaning can be a great opportunity to learn how to do it yourself. The main concern that is associated with professional carpet cleaning is whether the service is genuine or not, it is thus advisable to watch the general procedure used and countercheck it with the process stated above. One can also look up the cleaners in the internet.
