Is Carpet Cleaning a Do-It-Yourself Job?
May 22nd, 2010 by Mike

Carpet cleaning ought to be a regular part of any homeowner’s cleaning schedule. Nearly all major carpet suppliers suggest professional carpet cleaning at least once a year. After professionally cleaning carpets and rugs for many years I can truthfully say that a majority of home owners don’t heed this recommendation. It’s unfortunate simply because proper yearly maintenance cleaning can lengthen the life of your high-priced carpets.

Even though professional style carpet cleaning can’t really be done with local rental equipment and regular store cleaning chemicals, many home owners search for ways to maintain their carpets and rugs without bringing in the pros. The important thing to cleaning your floor coverings properly is having the correct carpet cleaning equipment for the job and also the know-how to use that equipment effectively. Commercial carpet cleaning equipment can include shampooers, oscillating pad machines, hot water extractors, and vacuums. The next ingredient needed for professionally cleaned carpets is using the correct cleaning chemicals and using them correctly.

Typically the home owner should first seriously consider the type of carpet cleaning machines that may be used. It is very improbable that a home owner will invest in commercial equipment that may run several thousands of dollars consequently most will settle for the rentals at their local food store. In most cases the option is between a shampooer or a so-called steam cleaner. The steam cleaner is just a wet vacuum with the ability to apply a cleaning solution. Actually any home owner can replicate this process with a commercial style wet-dry vacuum along with a pump sprayer. The shampooer really does a much better job of cleaning most of the time. But whatever machine is chosen, the homeowner needs to be careful about leaving the carpets and rugs wet. Damp carpets can remain damp for days after cleaning when the cleaning solution and water is not removed properly. Naturally this can lead to mildew and mold in some instances.

The most important part of carpet upkeep is in fact routine dry carpet vacuuming. The regular vacuuming of carpets can extend their life and put off that call for professional cleaning. Naturally the home owner has got to decide how often vacuuming is necessary however I know that in many cases those who vacuum a few times per week have the very best looking carpets and rugs. That fine sand and dirt that gets down into the fiber contributes to the regular wear if not eliminated. In recent years, it appears that dyson vacuum cleaners are among the most common vacuums available. It doesn’t matter what vacuum cleaner you utilize, keep in mind to clean it out after every use.

So regardless if you have the pros clean your carpets or you do it yourself, remember good care for your carpeting can help you save a lot of money on carpet replacement expenses.
