Back to Top Why Hire a Professional Carpet Cleaner Instead of Doing It Yourself?

Consumer-grade carpet cleaning machines lack the heat and power needed to effectively sanitize carpets. These machines use water that is not hot enough to activate the cleaning agents, whereas our professional equipment heats water to 212-230°F to ensure proper disinfection. Furthermore, home machines have weaker vacuums, resulting in slower drying times and leaving behind dirt and soap residue. Our truck-mounted systems provide stronger suction, faster drying times, and a residue-free finish, giving your carpets a more thorough and lasting clean.

Preparing for Carpet Cleaning How Often Should I Vacuum My Carpet?

High-traffic areas should be vacuumed at least once or twice a week to prevent dirt, sand, and other particles from settling into the fibers, which can cause premature wear. Regular vacuuming helps maintain your carpet’s appearance and longevity by removing abrasive particles before they can damage the fibers.

How Often Should I Have My Carpets Professionally Cleaned?

It is generally recommended to have your carpets professionally cleaned once a year. In high-traffic areas, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. Many carpet warranties also require regular professional cleaning to maintain coverage. Check with your carpet retailer for specific warranty requirements.

How Should I Prepare My Home for Carpet Cleaning?

Before your carpet cleaning, please pick up small items such as toys, pet beds, shoes, and rugs. We recommend vacuuming to remove pet hair and large debris, as our equipment is designed for removing liquids and soils, not for collecting hair or large particles. Furniture should be moved from areas to be cleaned, though we will work around any furniture that remains. To protect fragile items, we suggest moving breakable decorations like picture frames or glass ornaments to a safe location. Additionally, be sure to point out any specific concerns, such as pet stains or bleach spots, during the pre-inspection, so our technician can tailor the cleaning process to your needs.

Cleaning Hot Water Extraction vs. Dry Carpet Cleaning How do these methods compare, and which one is best for your needs?

Most leading carpet manufacturers in the UK agree that Hot Water Extraction is the most effective method for carpet cleaning and the safest for your family’s health. In contrast, the “Dry Cleaning” method uses harsh chemical compounds or solvents to break down soil on the carpet surface. These chemicals often leave behind a sticky residue that attracts dirt, leading to faster re-soiling. Additionally, individuals with skin sensitivities or respiratory issues may experience adverse reactions to these residual chemicals. Our Hot Water Extraction process thoroughly removes soils and cleaning agents, leaving your carpets fresh, clean, and free of irritants.
