CLEANING CARPETS

What is the most effective carpet cleaning method? 

There are many different ways to get carpets cleaned, from professional steam cleaners who will extract and deodorize or shampoo the carpet with soap. Professional cleaners also use state of the art equipment that give them an edge over DIYers when it comes to removing stains and odors quickly. The choice for you really just depends on what you’re looking for such as saving money, time, power/water usage etc.

How do you steam clean carpets? 

Steam cleaning is one of the most common methods for carpet maintenance. You can do this by renting a professional steam cleaner from your local hardware store or purchase a home model to use on your own time, but either way you will want to make sure that it has the right attachments and pH-neutral cleaners.

The process involves putting water into the tank then adding detergent before turning on the machine and using its long nozzle attachment to clean dirt out of deep down in fibers with hot steam. 

To start out, if your looking for general tidying or freshening up then use warm water mixed with detergent throughout the entire surface area (most effective when combined with a vacuum cleaner) and then steam clean the surface area. For more serious stains, professional cleaners will use hot water mixed with detergent or chemicals to extract any dirt from deep within the carpet’s fibres before using steam cleaning methods on top of that!

Steam cleaners use hot water mixed with chemicals which is pushed through the nozzle under pressure. The hot water and chemical mixture penetrates the carpet fiber, loosens stains and kills mold while also cleaning deep into the fibers of your carpets. Steam cleaners are great for removing dirt but may not be as effective at killing bacteria because they do not use any harsh chemicals that would break down organic residue like wet-chemical or dry-foam methods might. 

What are some benefits of steam cleaning carpets? 

It’s fast: Steam cleaners suck up stains almost immediately which saves you precious time because you don’t have to spend hours scrubbing! They’re also pretty affordable considering all they need is water, soap, and electricity. 

What are some drawbacks of steam cleaning carpets? 

The steam from these cleaners can be wet and excessive which means it’s possible you’ll end up with a few damp spots on your carpet because of the dripping water, but this is easily avoided by using a towel to dry off the machine after use or keeping dirty towels on hand in case things get too wet. The other downside is that there’s no way for them to clean deep into fibers like professional shampooing equipment does, so if you need an even deeper cleaning than what this method offers then you will want to look elsewhere.

Conclusion

With all these benefits and drawbacks, personal preference really comes down to how much time and money you’re willing to spend since both methods have their pros and cons.

What we recommend

The best way to clean your carpets is by hiring a professional carpet cleaning company who can give you the deep, thorough clean that’s needed without all of the hassle and risk of doing it yourself! This will save time in both prep work and labor (which we know when dealing with wet water makes everything ten times messier), but also provide superior results because these professionals have years of experience at giving dirty carpets their deepest possible clean.

Is it better to shampoo or steam clean carpets? 

This is a tough question! It really depends on your needs and what you need the carpets for. We think that both methods are very effective and depend on what type of dirt is in the carpets. If they’re heavily soiled, we recommend a deep steam treatment because this can penetrate deeply into the fibers to remove all types of ground in dirt & grime. For more superficial stains such as wine spills, blood splatterings, and pet stains, we recommend professional carpet cleaning because it can be very difficult to remove those types of stains on your own.
