We put our carpets through a lot. We expect our carpets to be able to withstand a lot. Home carpets are put to the test every day, from muddy feet to the weight of furniture. More bonuses?

Germs, Mold and Bacteria

Also, there is dirt that’s not so visible – germs and bacteria as well the dead skin that feeds dust mites. Dust mites are attracted to the carpet, as well as mold spores.

Carpets that have been cleaned regularly look cleaner, last longer, and are healthier.

You can clean your carpets yourself in many ways. You can help your carpets by vacuuming regularly, if you own pets. The carpet is often affected by the fur that our pets leave everywhere.

Powders of baking soda

Commercial powders and baking soda can also be used to remove odors from carpets. Sprinkle the powder over the carpet liberally – do a small test first on an inconspicuous spot – and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Vacuum the powder up.

To use carpet shampoos, follow the instructions on the bottle. The majority of shampoos require water to dilute them. Test the product in a hidden area before using it on your carpet. Don’t use too much shampoo, just enough to cover the affected area. Scrub the area using a hard bristled scrubber. Once the shampoo is dry, vacuum it up.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Services

Budget Maids, for example, offers carpet cleaning by professionals.

There are different types of carpet cleaners. Steam cleaning, or hot-water extraction cleaning, is a popular technique. But dry cleaning can also be beneficial. What are the differences?

Steam cleaning involves the use of equipment that sprays hot water, which may contain chemicals. The water, as well as the dirt that is removed and dissolved, are also vacuumed.

You can use portable carpet cleaners that plug into outlets or trucks mounted carpet cleaners.

Pre-conditioning

The pre-conditioning process, which includes spraying on alkaline or acidic agents and then agitating the carpet, is necessary before hot water extraction. Alkaline or acidic chemicals are used depending on whether it is wool or synthetic carpet. This aids in the cleaning process.

However, dry cleaning carpets can provide many advantages. The drying time is reduced and there are no water or stain marks that may appear as with traditional shampooing. Also, wooden furniture is not at risk of being damaged by water.

It is important to regularly clean your carpets. However, investing in professional carpet cleaners from a house cleaning service makes a huge difference. Your carpets will look as good as new.
