Carpet Cleaning Services - What To Look For

So you have stained your carpet, and you are scratching your head trying to work out what is the best defence method to apply first?

The problem is, as you are no doubt aware, the wrong product on any stain can be disastrous to your carpet, sometimes causing it to worsen or become permanently fixed.  For this reason, you should only trust professional carpet cleaning services to get the stains out for you.

Good old fashioned carpet cleaning services have been around for decades, and today they can use a chemical cleaning product to shampoo it for you.  Next, they go over the floor with a shampooing machine that draws the chemical solution out again, leaving the carpet close to dry.  Occasionally, these chemical solutions are damaging to carpet, and commonly tough stains will appear to have dissolved only to show up again down the track.

Carpet cleaning services that offer dry cleaning are certainly becoming popular.  The serviceman will spread a powdery substance over your floors then use his carpet cleaning machine to work it through and then suck it out, along with any dirt or stains.  Foam is another form of almost dry carpet cleaning where the carpet is shampooed with foam only, then vacuumed on drying.  It is a common school of thought that carpet cleaning services who use wet, shampooing techniques actually damage the carpet over time, encouraging rotting and decay of underlay and contributing to future mold growth. 

Most businesses and large industries choose a carpet cleaning service that offers the Bonnet method.  The Bonnet method uses steam from highly heated water with specialized detergent to more thoroughly and deeply clean the carpet, followed by sucking up the moisture and product, as well as any dirt.  The heat of the steam makes stains and grime dissolve more easily, and it also has a great sanitizing effect as well.

The intention when choosing a carpet cleaning service provider is to ensure the life of the carpet is prolonged as much as possible.  Always ask what type of cleaning is being offered, and only go with a method that you have confidence in and trust for use on your carpet.  The cheapest method is usually the nastiest, and even though the floors might look fantastic immediately afterwards, prolonged application of some products and machines that use water can cause real damage to the carpet you treasure in your home.
