Carpet Cleaning
Carpet Cleaning is the traditional activity of removing undesired contaminants and pollutants from your Carpeting. This process of removing foreign matter and abrasives from carpeting will extend the useful life of your carpet.
As a general rule, professional cleaning by a certified cleaning firm should be performed at least once per year. Homes with abnormally high traffic areas, pets, or children may require cleaning more frequently. Modern cleaning methods do not leave sticky residue behind and can be performed as many times per year as needed.
Manufacturer Warranties
Copies of specific warranties on your carpet purchase may be available from your carpet retailer. Stain resistant warranties can vary from 5 to 20 years. All stain resistant warranties factor in periodic cleaning. Most carpet manufacturers endorse certified cleaning firms using truck mounted steam cleaning units because of the proven efficiency and effectiveness.
Consumers Beware: Uninformed carpet cleaners may void your warranty. Be very careful and selective which company you appoint to service your home.
What should consumers expect from a professional cleaning company?
Above all, the consumer should expect a courteous well trained cleaning professional.
The technician should evaluate and recommend appropriate cleaning methods and services that would be beneficial to the consumer. The technician should be able to answer basic questions about the cleaning. Consumers should expect itemized pricing to build trust and create transparency. The firm should offer some type of workmanship guarantee. Also, firm must carry adequate liability insurance as well as workman’s compensation for consumer protection.
Carpet should be pre-vacuumed and basic furniture should be moved before cleaning. The carpet should be pre-conditioned with an emulsification agent for soil recapture. The soiling should then be flushed out of the carpet and extracted. Upon completion, carpet should be groomed (non Berber). Be cautious if carpets are overly wet. Typical drying time is between 4 to 6 hours. Carpets should never be wet for periods longer than 24 hours. The details mentioned above should be included in the standard cost of service.
What services should the consumer expect to pay extra?
Consumers should expect to pay extra for pet odor removal, protective coatings such as Scotchgard or Teflon, and specialty procedures in cases of extreme soiling.
