A Great First Impression with Professionally Cleaned Carpets
Oh man! Relatives from out of town just called to tell you they want to visit next week. You say that you can’t wait to see them as sweetly as possible, but you aren’t so sure. As you look with a guest's eye at your home, you realize that your visitors' will hardly have their breath taken away. The house could certainly use a coat of paint, and you just don't have the time. But there is something you can do! There’s plenty of time to clean the carpets. To improve the look and smell of your home fast, clean the carpets.
There are many methods to pick from to have your carpet cleaned. One of the most cost efficient options is spray-on shampoo; you can find it in a can at your local store. First spray on the foam and then spread it around with a damp mop. This serves to break up the soil and, once dry, is easily picked up by a vacuum cleaner. The method is suitable to loosen up dirt in patches, but it’s not good enough to clean up the entire house.
The residential electric carpet cleaner comes next. These spray cleaner onto the carpet and suck it back up. They are slightly better than the spray-on foam, but the downfall of the machine is that it has limited power to extract water from the carpet. Carpet can be easily over-wetted with these machines, causing your carpet backing and padding to get soaked. Often times it is not possible to extract the solution. Plenty of time will be required for the carpet to dry.
If you get a carpet-cleaning contraption from the supermarket, you get a tad more oomph to suck the water out of the wet carpet. However, the failure of the previous user to clean the rented machine adequately before returning it is a pretty common complaint. Plus, the machine is quite heavy and awkward to maneuver, which causes many people to wish they hadn’t tried to tackle such a challenging project on their own.
The best choice is hiring a professional carpet cleaner. Several professional carpet cleaners use a method by which hot water is extracted. These cleaners heat the cleaning solution and apply it to the carpet with high-pressure. Then, they extract the water, sucking it up using a powerful motor. However, the pressure is sometimes so great that water is forced into the carpet pad where it remains, leaving behind a soapy residue that can be a potential breeding ground for mold.
Chem-Dry is a superior method of carpet cleaning. An applicator operating at low pressure utilizes a patented carbonating cleaner which causes bubbles to move the grime and dirt to the surface of the carpet fibers. From there, the dirt can be sucked away. Not only will you get rid of the dirt and water, but you will also remove all allergens, chemicals, pet dander, bacteria, as well as whatever else that might be lurking in your carpet. Because of the carbonation, less water is used so your carpets will dry much more quickly.
A clean carpet is important when you have company coming, and a clean carpet will help you make a fantastic first impression.
