Whether you are moving out or moving in, carpet care is vital.   When moving into a new house or office no one wants to move into a dirty, stained and musty smelling carpet environment.  Clean carpets prolong the life of the carpet. Anti-bacterial treatments create a safer environment, especially for young children who spend much time on the floor.   There are more than one method of carpet cleaning which varies drying time.

Professional carpet cleaning services will also clean lounges, chairs, rugs and mattresses.


Questions to consider when contacting a carpet cleaner:

•  Are there different prices for varying services?
• What are the different methods of cleaning carpets?
• What levels and depth of carpet cleaning is provided?
• Which service level is recommended for my needs
• Which stains will cleaning NOT remove
• What is the difference between a spot and a stain?
• How long will it take to clean the carpets?
• What if I am not happy with the job?
• What insurance does the carpet cleaning company have in place?

 
After the cleaning is done:

• Open a window or use a fan to circulate more air.
• Try not to walk on the carpet until the carpet is completely dry.
•  Use furniture protectors under legs of furniture, at least until the carpet is absolutely dry.
•  Vacuum on a regular basis.

 

Do it yourself Carpet Cleaning

 
Do it yourself carpet cleaning products are available from many outlets for purchase.  These products do not generally clean as effectively as the industrial equipment used by a professional carpet cleaning company.  The advantage is you have the equipment to use more regularly than you would perhaps call out a professional carpet cleaning company.

Carpet cleaning machines can be hired from hire companies and sometimes your local supermarket outlet.  They are generally hired on an hourly or daily basis.  These machines clean the surface dirt but do not usually work as deep down in the carpet as the industrial strength cleaners.
