3 Signs of a Great Carpet Cleaning Service

carpet cleaning tipsThere are many carpet cleaning companies operating through the Greater Toronto Area. How do you know the company you choose is going to do a great job, leave you feeling satisfied, and make sure your carpets look their best and are protected for the future?

No matter which company you choose, make sure you do your homework. Below are three signs that could indicate you are about to hire a great carpet cleaning service.

Sign #1: Professionalism.

Does this company have professional, courteous, and respectful team members? In other words, when they arrive at your home, do you feel as though they actually care about you, your possessions, and taking extra steps to make sure they protect your valuable possessions?

It may not seem to be an important thing for a lot of people who assume all companies have that type of professional courtesy, but it’s not true. Make sure the company you hire does.

Sign #2: The best equipment.

Do they have professional cleaning equipment? If they don’t, they’re not going to be using the most powerful machines that help get your carpets completely cleaned, all the way down to the base.

Any company that uses rented carpet cleaning machines or portable machines are not giving you the best that you deserve.

Sign #3: A willingness to answer all related questions.

If you ask questions about keeping your carpets looking their best, what type of vacuum cleaner you should choose, techniques, stain removal, or anything else, are they willing to answer those questions?

A lot of companies don’t seem to have time or want to be bothered with those questions. They want to get your money, get the job done, and get out of there as quickly as possible.

You deserve better. You deserve a company that truly takes care of you and puts your best interest first.

What’s the Right Vacuum Cleaner for Your Home?’

vacuum-Choosing the right vacuum cleaner can have a significant impact on not just overall appearance of cleanliness in your home, but also the health of it. Older, weaker, broken down vacuum cleaners don’t have the ability to get as much dust, dirt, allergens, and other foreign contaminants out of carpeting.

However, even the most powerful vacuum cleaners fall short of complete cleanliness.

You can spend $500, $1,000, or even more on a professional grade vacuum cleaner and still find your carpets are not exactly clean at the end of a year or two. That’s why a professional carpet cleaning service is always a good idea for not only helping to keep your home as clean as possible, but also improving the indoor air quality.

Now, about that vacuum cleaner.

It’s a good idea to have a HEPA filter on your vacuum cleaner. A HEPA filter helps to reduce a significant number of allergens and fine particles from the air. They get trapped in the filter and that means they don’t get tossed back into the air because they would escape the vacuum cleaner itself.

You should also think about one that has adjustable height.

If you can’t adjust the height of your vacuum cleaner, and you use it for area rugs, wall-to-wall carpeting, and hardwood floor surfaces, you’re not going to get a thorough cleaning. It’s important to be able to adjust the cleaning height to the appropriate floor surface.

Finally, make sure the vacuum cleaner you choose has the power you need.

If you have pets, kids, a lot of foot traffic, you’re going to be attracting a lot of dirt. That’s why it’s a good idea to invest more in a vacuum cleaner that has power that will maximize the amount of dust, dirt, and other foreign contaminants it sucks out of your floor surfaces.

Vacuuming Tips to Keep Your Carpets Looking Their Best

tips to help keep your house looking goodYou invested quite a bit of money in the wall-to-wall carpeting in your home. You want to protect it and help it stay looking it’s best for as long as possible. How you vacuum and the type of vacuum cleaner you choose can have a direct impact on the appearance and longevity of your carpets themselves.

Ultimately, you should always consider a professional carpet cleaning service for keeping your carpets looking their best and lasting for as long as possible. Once a year, at a minimum, is optimal.

Here are some basic vacuuming tips that can help you in between professional carpet cleaning visits.

Vacuuming Tip #1: Use the right vacuum.

If you have pets, whether cats or dogs or some other animals running around, you should certainly consider a more powerful vacuum. The more powerful the vacuum, the more likely it will get those small particulates, such as dust, pet dander, and more out of the carpet fibers.

Vacuuming Tip #2: Settings on the vacuum.

If you have a good vacuum, you most likely have a height adjustment. Make sure you use this height adjustment when vacuuming deep pile carpet and then switching over to a low, flat rug or hardwood surface. Keeping the setting on the hardwood floor surface and then vacuuming the carpet is not going to improve the cleanliness of your carpeting, but it will help wear out your vacuum cleaner and beater bar.

Vacuuming Tip #3: Go slow, especially backward.

When you look at the beater bar spinning around when the vacuum cleaner is on, it goes in one specific direction. When you draw the vacuum cleaner back toward you, that’s when you should go slow; that will give the machine the opportunity to thoroughly clean the carpeting, as much as possible.

Vacuuming Tip #4: Alternate directions.

If you vacuum in the same direction every single time you clean, you’re missing a great opportunity. Switch things up. If you vacuum north to south for a while, switch it up and then go east-west. This will help you get as much dirt and other foreign contaminants out of the carpet fibers to keep them looking their best.

What You Didn’t Know About Carpet Manufacturer Warranties

Carpet WarrantiesFar too many people who find issues with the carpeting contact the store where they purchased it, expecting the manufacturer to honor the warranty, only to be disappointed because they didn’t read the warranty carefully.

It’s not the case with every carpet manufacturer warranty, but more often than not when you look at all the details, and the fine print, it clearly will stipulate that in order for the manufacturer to be responsible for any issues that arise with the carpet, even if it could be determined as a manufacturer defect, the person who purchased it needs to carefully maintain the carpeting to the best of their abilities.

One of the most common stipulations people don’t realize about carpet warranties.

Many of the carpet manufacturer warranties require owners of the carpeting to have an annual deep cleaning of the carpeting by a certified and experienced professional carpet cleaning company. It doesn’t matter which company you hire in most cases, but you need to be able to document you hired this company to come in and provide a thorough and deep carpet cleaning service to all of that new carpeting.

Why is this important?

Over time, without proper professional cleaning, your carpeting is going to look a bit worn down, old, and dirty. This isn’t the fault of the manufacturer. It may also begin coming apart at certain areas because of the dirt that works its way deep down into the carpet pile. If you have Scotchguard and stains sink in, it will show in time.

If you’re concerned about the warranty of those brand new carpets in your home, read the details and, if you determine the only way the warranty will be honored is through a professional carpet cleaning service, contact Royal Interior Cleaning. They are one of the most experienced, honest, and reliable companies you can depend on.

The Challenges of Keeping Your Carpets Clean During the Winter

carpet cleaning tipsDuring the winter, keeping your home clean can be an overwhelming challenge, especially if you have a lot of people in your home. If you have children, the challenges can increase exponentially.

What are some of the greatest challenges of keeping carpets clean during winter?

Obviously the first would be mud, salt, and sand from the roads after snowfall that can get tracked in on boots. The salt and sand can be incredibly harmful to your carpets and other floor surfaces. Sand is abrasive so you could end up with scratching on hardwood floor surfaces. Salt is also corrosive and, when it gets on your plush carpeting, it can cause damage deep down at the base of the carpeting itself.

Some of the other challenges can include the fact most windows and doors are sealed tight during the winter. You’re not getting fresh air inside, and when you have some kind of cloth or other fabric, most people already understand how a lack of fresh air and cleanliness can lead to an interesting aroma, for lack of a better expression or term.

What can you do to help this winter?

Instead of being resigned to the fact your carpets and, in general, entire home is going to look worse and worse as winter wears on, schedule or at least consider a professional carpet cleaning service sometime in January or February. That puts you in the middle of winter and a good time to feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and inspired to continue the effort to keep your home clean until you get around to that spring cleaning season once again.
