Are There Drawbacks to Steam Cleaning Carpets?

by |

home sized carpet cleanerThere are two basic ways that carpet cleaning companies clean their carpets and area rugs. The most common is with professional equipment and water. Steam cleaning can be highly effective because it helps to loosen up stubborn staining materials, including pet urine, pasta sauce, grape juice, and much more.

There’s also a dry type of carpet cleaning that can be done.

In order to be effective as a dry carpet cleaning service, they will be using certain types of chemicals, including sprays and powders. The most common is a powder as that helps to maintain the dry surface.

These chemicals are designed to work down into the carpet fabric and begin disintegrating the staining material, then allowing the carpet cleaning expert to vacuum up the powder and any residue that was trapped in those fibers.

Many people opt for the steam cleaning of their carpets because they wouldn’t have to use as much potentially harmful chemicals to get them looking their best. On top of that, it’s the same premise as washing clothes.

You could apply a certain cleaning powder to a stain on a shirt, but it’s not going to be as effective at removing odors and other contaminants that get trapped in the material.

For those who want the best results with a carpet cleaning service, they should specifically ask for wet or steam cleaned carpeting. It may take some time for the carpeted surface to dry, and for some people that is an annoyance, but if they do allow them to dry properly, running a fan over the surface, keeping the windows open, if possible, and more, it will simply have a much better result in the and.

When you are investing in a carpet cleaning service, relying on steam cleaning could be a powerfully effective way to help restore your carpets to looking like new, or as close as possible.

Busting Three Impressive Myths About Cleaning Your Own Carpets

by |

Carpet, Upholstery Stains RemovalFar too many people assume they can just clean their own carpets just as good as a professional carpet cleaning company. In truth, although it may look decent at first, there are many things that personal home use carpet cleaning machines or even the ones you rent at your local hardware store can’t do.

Here are three myths that many people have about cleaning their own carpet.

Myth #1: It works just as well.

People assume that just because it’s a machine it’s going to do just as good a job as a truck mounted one. A handheld machine has nowhere near the same suction power as a truck mounted machine. That means even if you rented a portable carpet cleaning machine, it can never do as thorough a job as a truck mounted piece of equipment.

As noted earlier, it may look decent on the surface, but when you dig deeper down into the carpet pile, you begin to see just how much of a difference it is.

Myth #2: Any rental machine is fine.

If you go to your local hardware store and rent a carpet cleaning machine, you have no clue what it was used for previously. The last person to rent it might have cleaned up a crime scene with bodily fluids or a chemical spill.

Just because they may have cleaned it out or rinsed the exterior of it doesn’t mean you couldn’t be tracking in all of that stuff into your house.

Myth #3: It will get stains out of the carpet.

Unless you have the right techniques, the right cleaning solutions, and the strongest equipment, the odds are you may only get the stains right along surface out of the carpeting, but the wrong cleaning solutions and techniques can actually cause damage to the carpet.

That’s why it’s always best to rely on a professional and experienced carpet cleaning service.

If Your Home Stinks, It Could Be the Carpeting

by |

musty smell in carpetEvery time you come home these days, you can’t help but notice that on odor’s hitting you right in the face. You wish there was something you could do, but no amount of candles, incense, or other room deodorizers is helping. You have completely cleaned every removable surface and material, including the drapery, but it could be the carpeting.

The older carpeting is, the more likely it’s holding a lot of staining materials. It could be a simple soda or grape juice that was spilled, pasta sauce, or pet odors. Whatever it is that may be trapped deep down in the carpet fibers, your vacuum cleaner is powerless to do anything about it.

What about those home carpet cleaning machines?

Whether you have purchased your own personal carpet cleaning machine or plan to rent one, there are many problems with that idea. First and foremost, they won’t have the power that a professional carpet cleaning service with truck mounted equipment will have. They simply won’t be able to get deep down into the carpet pile to make that much of a difference.

Then, on top of that, if you are planning to rent one of these machines, there are no regulations on who can rent it and what they can be used for. As long as they are returned looking decent, you have no idea if they were used to clean up chemical spills, bodily wastes, or other harmful materials.

If you bring that into your house, you are also bringing in whatever was cleaned with it previously.

The best thing you can do to help restore that wonderful aroma and clean feeling your house had a long time ago is to hire a carpet cleaning company to deep clean all of your carpets and possibly even some of your furniture and draperies.

Chemical or Bio Matter Requires a Specialty Carpet Cleaning Company

by |

Stain RemovalYou might be moving into a new house, renting a place, or have been living in the same home for decades. At some point in time you may be inclined to try and clean the carpets yourself. Vacuuming is fine, but it’s not enough to keep them looking their best for very long.

Over time, dust and dirt works deeper into the carpet fibers.

There’s really no way to avoid this, and even regular cleaning with the most powerful residential cleaner out there is not enough to get everything out. Dirt, bacteria, germs, and other particulates can get caught in the carpet fiber and remain trapped, even as the vacuum cleaner rolls over the top time and time again.

The longer you’ve had carpeting inside your house, the more likely this will happen over time and will begin to show with a dingy appearance to the carpeting itself.

If you have some kind of spill occur in your home, such as oil, gasoline, a cleaning solution, or anything else, you need to get it up as soon as possible. Not only can this be extremely harmful to you, your pets, and other people in your family, it can also cause a lot of damage to your carpeting and other floor surfaces.

What about urine, vomit, and other biological materials?

A lot of pet owners, especially dog owners, realize this is a reality. Even the most well trained dog is going to have accidents from time to time. You might use vinegar or other home remedies and solutions to clean this matter up, but no matter what stained the carpet, you won’t get all of it out.

It’s best to call a professional carpet cleaning service instead of doing it on your own.

You can rent a machine, but there are no regulations regarding what it can or can’t be used for. You might be using a machine that was just used the day before to clean up some really harsh stuff you don’t want anywhere near your house.

On top of that, a company that has truck mounted equipment is going to be in the best position to get your carpets as clean as possible, thus removing the chemical or bio matter effectively.

Can You Trust Carpet Cleaning Pros?

by |

carpet cleaning torontoIt’s really easy to assume that carpet cleaning individuals are low-paid, uneducated, unprofessional individuals. After all, who would even want this kind of job? A person who may only have a high school education, if that, right?

This kind of thinking is why it’s so easy to believe carpet cleaning professionals are untrustworthy.

In reality, it’s a developed skill.

To be highly effective as a carpet cleaning professional, it requires a lot of experience. When people first start working in this career field, they may have certain misconception about it. They may assume it’s an easy job and anyone can do it.

It requires proper training and the right equipment. A carpet cleaning company that uses truck mounted equipment is one that can get carpets as clean as possible. This can be a tremendous benefit for those who may be staring at stains, a dirty appearance to the carpet, and may simply want to restore the look, luster, and feel of it to almost new condition.

Also, the cleaning solutions are important.

If somebody doesn’t have a great deal of experience cleaning carpets, they may use general carpet cleaning products. That may be effective, but it could cause damage on certain types of carpets, colors, or materials.

It may also be something the homeowner doesn’t really want inside their house, so they would be tasked with using environmentally safe and non-toxic cleaning solutions. In that case, different techniques and methods might need to be used.

So, can you trust carpet cleaning professionals?

That’s entirely up to you. You should understand that if you have any questions about integrity, ensure you or somebody else will be home when the carpet cleaning service will be doing the work. Some people let these professionals into their house and then go off to work. With a quality, trustworthy company like Royal Interior Cleaning, this is really no issue, but you should be comfortable with your decision from start to finish.
