The 4 Principles of Quality Carpet Cleaning

Nowadays it's hard to find a home without carpets. And there is a good reason for that. Carpets are soft, comfortable, inviting, and cheap to install. Their downside is that they need constant maintenance ranging from weekly vacuuming to annual deep cleaning. Most homeowners may be diligent about keeping shoes and pets off the carpets, but dust and grime particles always build-up over time. Professionally cleaned carpets will not only look, feel, and smell good but will also last longer.

What Are The Benefits of Quality Carpet Cleaning

When it comes to keeping your carpets looking good and performing well, regular vacuuming is your first defense. Yet, most vacuum cleaners can only manage to pick up a percentage of the dirt that your carpet is likely to hold, while dust particles and grit can remain in your carpet indefinitely if you don't take further measures to remove them. The main issue here is that these particles can actually cut and sever your carpet fibers, leading to thinning and premature reduction in appearance. The solution to removing these pesky particles is to have a deep cleaning session at least once every 6 to 12 months.

Thorough cleaning can also reduce or remove bad odors and improve the appearance of your floors quickly and inexpensively. Also, for allergy sufferers, carpet cleaning is still the most efficient and trusted way to reduce the number of allergens and have a positive effect on your indoor air quality.

DIY vs. Pro Carpet Cleaners

Of course, vacuuming is one aspect of carpet maintenance that most residents are both accustomed to and able to do on their own. However, when it comes to deep cleaning, there are a few advantages that come with hiring licensed carpet cleaning services. Many homeowners who already tried to clean by themselves are well aware of the hassle and time involved in the process, and many times the job you can do yourself is not as thorough as the one performed by skillful and knowledgeable technicians. They will not only do the job faster but their intense training, professional techniques, and equipment will prove to be the most efficient option in all cases. You can follow this checklist for tenancy cleaning and clean your whole home like a pro

Carpet Cleaning Prices

The most important factor when deciding whether to clean your own carpets or call for professional help is generally the cost. However, it's often the case that the amount you save on a do-it-yourself job (after you calculate the cost of renting a cleaning machine, the gas for transporting it to your home and back to the store, buying the proper cleaning solutions) is relatively small. Add that to the hassle you'll save yourself and the quality of the work you're likely to get from adept carpet cleaners, and you might be surprised at how much financial sense it makes to call a pro.

Choosing a Carpet Cleaning Contractor

Even though you understand how important carpet cleaning is and even though you may be resolved to hire a cleaning company, you're not going to be happy with the project unless you get a quality job for a fair price. So, look for a cleaning company that is insured and bonded. Ask them about the process they use to hire their employees. Search online for reviews and feedback, and find out what previous customers think about the company. Don't forget to ask for individual price estimates before signing any contract. Simply explain to the company representatives over the phone what exactly do you need cleaning and answer all their questions. If you have any special requirements or places that need to be cleaned, or if there are stubborn stains that have to be pre-treated, tell them, as they may need to bring additional equipment or products. Finally, ask them to arrange the appointment for a time that suits you best and if they agree, this is the company for you.
