It’s easy to assume a professional carpet cleaning service is only going to be cleaning carpeting. After all, when you look up ‘carpet cleaning company’, whether it’s in Toronto, the surrounding area, or somewhere else, isn’t that what you expect?
Of course. And while there are many carpet cleaning services out there that only do carpets, a more experienced, reliable company is going to have the tools and know-how to clean some other surfaces as well.
Carpets and rugs are not the same.
Remember that wall-to-wall carpeting is not the same as an area rug. The pile on each is completely different. With your traditional wall-to-wall carpet, you’ll have a deeper pile. That means it becomes much easier for dirt and other foreign contaminants to get deep down into the carpet pile to make the carpet look less appealing, dirtier, and less comfortable.
Area rugs have a tendency to be short pile and that means dirt may get through them much more quickly, leaving a layer of dust underneath the rug itself. However, in both cases, it’s important to have a professional clean them every once in a while to get the maximum amount of dirt out of them.
What about the upholstery in your house? That couch, recliner, and even your dining room chairs have fabric on them. Fabric, like carpet, is going to trap dust and dirt. A reliable and quality carpet cleaning service should also be able to clean the upholstery in your home.
What about drapery? Will they take care of the drapery? You could certainly remove the drapery and run it through the washing machine and dryer, but that exposes it to some potential damage.
You may also be surprised to learn that some carpet cleaning companies can clean marble surfaces. If you have marble or granite countertops in your kitchen and they haven’t been thoroughly cleaned in a long time, now is the time to get it done. Believe it or not, those hard surfaces are extremely porous, which means flour, chicken juice, and a host of other food particles may have already worked deeper into those porous surfaces. A professional cleaning can help restore them to like new condition.
