So you might be asking yourself, how much should I spend on carpet cleaning? You want the best price but you also want the best possible service. Keep reading and learn a little about what you should expect to pay.

You have probably seen the coupons in the mail for carpet cleaning starting at $9 per room. You may have then asked yourself, is that a good price for carpet cleaning? Not being in the carpet cleaning business you may not know what to expect to pay for a carpet cleaning. The price you pay for a good carpet cleaning depends greatly on the level of service that you expect and the area of the country that you live on . Because of that, it is impossible to tell you exactly how much you should pay for a carpet cleaning. It is possible to tell you though that you can not get a good carpet cleaning for $9 per room. The average price for a five room carpet cleaning job starts at about $100 and goes up to about $300. The price difference comes from the level of service you are getting. For $100 the carpet will probably not be vacuumed and no furniture will be moved. For $300 you should expect full service with vacuuming, furniture moving, spotting, baseboard cleaning and more. If you want something in the middle expect to pay some price in the middle.

As you can see, there is no clear answer as to how much to pay. It depends on a number of different factors. Hopefully this article has given you a little guidance to help you choose a good carpet cleaner at a fair price. Be sure to do your research, don't fall for that super low price scam and shop around and you can get a good carpet cleaning price.

Keep reading and find out more about why you do not need to fear the carpet cleaner.

The number one myth about carpet cleaning is that it causes carpet to get dirty quicker. This myth comes from people who have had their carpet cleaned by a sloppy professional or have done it themselves. When carpet is cleaned improperly it is left with a high amount of soapy residue. This residue will attract soil quickly and lead to rapid soiling. If carpet is cleaned correctly it will not be left with a residue. Professional cleaners are able to completely remove all traces of detergents and shampoos after the cleaning.

The next myth about carpet cleaning is that it can cause the carpet to shrink or stretch out. This myth comes from the fact that carpets used to have Jute backing. This backing would stretch and shrink if over wetted by sloppy carpet cleaners or do it yourself cleaning. Jute backing is no longer used. Carpet today has a latex backing which is not affected by moisture the same way that Jute was.

The last myth I will discuss is the myth that carpet cleaning causes mold. I can understand how this could be scary but to grow mold your carpet would have to stay wet for a long period of time, days or even weeks. Carpet cleaners today can get carpets dry in as little as one hour and the norm is no longer than six hours. This myth comes from once again bad carpet cleaners and faulty home cleaning methods.

As you can see most of the negative myths in carpet cleaning come from bad carpet cleaning methods. Modern and quality carpet cleaners do not have these problems so you have nothing to worry about. just do some research and choose a quality carpet cleaner for your next carpet cleaning.

But how do you choose a method when you know little about them? Read this article for information on the bonnet method of carpet cleaning.

Bonnet carpet cleaning is one of the most popular methods of carpet cleaning. It is second only to steam cleaning. It has many benefits and a few disadvantages as well. I will start by telling you a little about the method. The first step in bonnet carpet cleaning is to thoroughly pre-vacuum the carpet. This is an important step in any carpet cleaning method but is especially important in bonnet cleaning. After the carpet has been thoroughly vacuumed the carpet cleaner will spray down a pre-spray onto the carpet, concentrating on the heavily soiled traffic areas. They will let the solution dwell and then they will extract the solution using a carpet cleaning bonnet. The bonnet will either be cotton or synthetic and might be used wet or dry. To spin the bonnet they will use an orbital floor machine similar to the floor sanders and polishers you might have seen in commercial settings. The machine provides gentle agitation and allows the bonnets to gently lift away soil. After making several passes over the carpet the carpet cleaner will use a carpet rake to groom the carpet. This will raise the pile for better drying and will erase any swirl marks left by the machine. The advantage of this method is that it leaves the carpet dry in very little time with little chance of spots wicking back to the surface. The disadvantage of this method is that it does not clean as deeply as steam cleaning. If you have heavy soiling or pet problems you are better off hiring a steam carpet cleaner.

Hopefully this article has given you some incite into the bonnet method of carpet cleaning. Whichever method of cleaning you decide on, be sure to choose a good cleaning operator as that is the most important thing. A good carpet cleaner can get your carpet sparkling no matter which method they use. Good luck with whichever method you decide on.

But what exactly is this process and how does it work? Read this article for some information on this process and the pros and cons of it.

Overall the Host process is a great carpet cleaning process. The first step in this process and any other carpet cleaning process is to thoroughly vacuum your carpet. This is to remove the dry soil which makes up the majority of the soil in your homes carpet. The next step is to mist the carpet with the preconditioning spray called Prep. Then the next step is to sprinkle the carpet with a semi moist cleaning compound which looks like saw dust. The compound is actually made up of corn cobs which makes it environmentally sound. The cleaning compound called Sponges are now agitated with the use of a cleaning machine with counter rotating nylon brushes. It is cleaned first in a north to south direction and then in a east to west direction. This assures that all sides of the carpet fiber are reached. The Sponges gently scrub the carpet fibers absorbing soil. After the Sponges are agitated they are allowed to dry and then vacuumed out of the carpet leaving it clean and dry, ready for immediate use. The benefit of this system is that it allows for the almost immediate use of the carpet and leaves minimal residue. The only real negative is that the carpet will have some of the sponges in it. It is nearly impossible to remove them all. They might have some benefit to retard soiling however.

As you can see, the Host Dry Carpet Cleaning process is a very interesting one. It is also very effective. To find a local carpet cleaner near you using the Host method simply do a search for it online. There is normally one in every city. Good luck.

It can be a strange process if you are unfamiliar with it. Read this article and learn some answers to many of the most common carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning questions.

One common question is how often should I clean my carpet or upholstery? This is a question without a clear answer. You should clean your carpet at least once per year but you might want to clean it more often if you have kids, pets or if you smoke. Your upholstery should be cleaned at least once every two years. If you use your upholstery heavily you should probably clean it once per year.

Another question asked commonly is how long will it take for my carpet or upholstery to dry? This depends on the cleaning method used. If you use a dry cleaning method you should expect your carpets to dry within one hour. If you use steam cleaning you should expect your carpet to dry within four to twelve hours. Upholstery will take between two to twelve hours to dry. This depends on the type of material and the method used to clean it.



One more question is, Is carpet cleaning safe? Yes it is. It is actually more unsafe to not clean your carpet. A clean carpet contributes to a cleaner home by removing impurities in the air. If you are sensitive to chemicals you might want to ask your cleaner what kind of cleaners they use. You might want to then either not be in the house while it is being cleaned or use a cleaner that uses all natural cleaning.

I hope these answers have helped you with your carpet cleaning questions. If you have further questions you should consult your local carpet cleaning company.

Carpet cleaning can be expensive but as you know it is a necessary expense to take care of your flooring investment. With the prices of cleaning you might be tempted to just go do it yourself. Before you do that though you should know exactly what is involved in carpet cleaning. This might help you see what the price is actually quite fair. It will also help you see how ridiculous those $9 a room con artists are. One factor that affects the cost of carpet cleaning is the equipment. Carpet cleaners spend thousands of dollars on cleaning equipment. A moderately priced truck mounted carpet cleaning machine can cost up to twenty thousand dollars and requires a thirty thousand dollar van to move it around. That means that they bring a fifty thousand dollar rig to your home, not including the chemicals and specialty cleaning tools they have. This is just for a moderately priced cleaning machine, some carpet cleaning rigs can run up to a hundred thousand dollars. Another factor to consider is the training. A quality carpet cleaner will have years of training behind their belt and will undergo regular continuing education. This is necessary to keep up with changes in the industry and to stay familiar with all of the new products produced by the carpet mills. Lastly you need to consider the cost of fuel, advertising and insurance that the cleaner pays. There are countless other expenses but this covers the majority of the big ones.

When you put all of these factors together you can see that the carpet cleaners you hire are not making quite as much money off of you as you thought. In fact you can see that most cleaners are quite reasonable in price and you can see that those low ball carpet cleaners must be up to something.

There are many carpet cleaning chemicals available on the market today, and the correct choice depends on the job you need done. Carpet cleaning chemicals can be loosely divided into four categories, according to their function: cleaning, controlling or counteracting odors, protecting and sealing, and those chemicals designed for special tasks.

Examples are myriad. Here are a few:

Carpet cleaning chemicals for extracting soil are only the most obvious. There's a pre-spray chemical, a carpet spot and stain remover chemical, a dry cleaning solvent and spot remover, the ubiquitous absorbent powder extraction chemical, and even a neutralizer to put everything back the way it was... only better.

Odor control carpet cleaning chemicals, as can be expected, work to neutralize or rid the carpet of odors, usually created by pets. Many have a subtle citrus fragrance.

The field of carpet protectants and sealing is perhaps where the new carpet chemicals really shine. Some are dry and some spray on, all are considered state-of-the-art necessities to protect the look and life of your carpet.

A good example of the specialty items category is the chemical used in professional extraction machines to cut down on the production of foam.

Choosing from the cornucopia of carpet cleaning chemical products can be daunting. But taking the time to research the right choices for your particular situation will be rewarding.

The experts recommend you set up a regular carpet cleaning program. Vacuum daily, they say, dry carpet clean once a week, and use a heavy-duty deep steam (or vapor) carpet extracting machine as often as necessary to keep your carpeting bright, beautiful and healthy.

The biggest thing that can happen if a carpet is improperly cleaned is that it can be over wetted. After a proper carpet cleaning your carpet should be dry within about four to eight hours. Long dry times are no longer acceptable. Common causes of excessively wet carpet included faulty equipment, poor cleaning techniques and using too much water pressure. Carpet that is over wet can face a number of potential problems. One of those problems is mildew growth which is bad for obvious reasons. Another problem is carpet shrinkage or stretching but this mainly affects older cellulose backed carpets. If you think that your carpet has been over wet you need to call the company who cleaned it immediately and have them return and extract and dry the carpet.

Another problem of poorly cleaned carpet is furniture stains. A proper cleaning will include the placement of furniture pads or foam blocks under the legs of the furniture. If these are not used the furniture's varnish can easily transfer to the carpet. This is often a permanent stain. Another danger is that metal legs from furniture can rust onto the carpet or fabric furniture can bleed dye to the carpet. If you notice that your carpet cleaner is not placing blocks or pads under the furniture they move, make sure that they start.

One final problem of improperly cleaned carpet is a residue build up. This is often caused by a carpet that is cleaned with improper chemicals. The signs of this will often not appear for a month or so after the cleaning. If you suspect you have a residue problem you will need to have it re-cleaned. Find someone who uses a zero residue cleaner or who knows how to fix this kind of problem.

Improper carpet cleaning can cause a number of problems as you can see. This just scratches the surface of what can occur. To be sure that you are not the victim of bad carpet cleaning be sure to screen your carpet cleaner carefully. Good luck and do your research.

Read this article to learn whether or not this method of carpet cleaning is right for you.

Steam cleaning is perhaps one of the most popular methods of carpet cleaning. It has many benefits over other cleaning methods. For example, it has the best flushing capability of any other cleaning method. The average steam cleaner will use about fifty gallons to clean an average sized home. This is important to you because it means that more of the soil is moved out of the home instead of just moved around. If you ahe pets who have had accidents this is especially important.

Another advantage of steam cleaning is that it allows for the use of more specialty cleaning chemicals. Since most of the industry is geared towards steam cleaning, most of the chemicals are designed to be used in conjunction with steam cleaning. Some specialty cleaners do not work well without steam cleaning or should not be used without it due to the need to be thoroughly flushed from the carpet. This means that with steam cleaning your carpet will get cleaner.

There are some disadvantages to steam cleaning however. For example, it is more susceptible to user error. You need a skilled technician to do it properly and a bad cleaner can really do some damage. It will also take longer to dry than other methods but not as long as you may think. Most steam cleaning jobs are dry in two to six hours.

Hopefully this article will help you decide which method is right for you. If you have more questions you should contact your local cleaning service. They will be more than happy to explain the process to you fully. Learn more about carpet cleaning at http://www.thecarpetcleanerlist.com/albany.htm .

What is shocking however is the number of carpets in this country that never get cleaned. If you need some convincing to clean your carpet, read this article and learn the top five reasons to clean your carpet.

Reason #1. Your carpet is ugly. Do not put up with the spots and dark traffic paths. For the reasonable price of a carpet cleaning your home can look dramatically better. Do not underestimate the impact of clean flooring on your homes appearance. Clean it soon before those spots become permanent. Do you think that your carpet is beyond rescuing? Think again, it might still be restorable.

Reason #2. Your carpet smells. Does the odor of your carpet hit you as soon as you enter your home? Is a smelly carpet keeping you from enjoying your house or inviting people in to your home? Call a carpet cleaner to remedy this situation. They have cleaning skills and deodorizers to deal with even the smelliest of carpets. Call a cleaning company and get your home back again.

Reason #3. It will last longer. A clean carpet will last much longer than a dirty one. Soil is abrasive and the longer it is on your carpet the more it will abrade your fibers. Get rid of it as soon as possible and save your carpet.

Reason #4. You have allergies. Your carpet is a giant air filter and traps contaminants from the air. You must clean this filter on a regular basis to keep it working well. So clean your carpets often and enjoy relief from allergies.

Reason #5. You want softer carpet. Remember how that carpet felt on your bare feet when it was new? Clean your carpet and get that feeling again. Add some enjoyment back to your flooring.

You can probably see that there are a number of reasons to clean your carpet. So what are you waiting for? Call your local carpet cleaner today.

Hot water extraction has since become more popular but shampooing still has its place in carpet cleaning and has come a long way. Read this article and learn more about this method of carpet cleaning.

The most important factor in shampoo carpet cleaning is the use of a good carpet shampoo. The cleaning chemical is the most important part of the cleaning equation. A good shampoo cleaner must have the following traits. It must be able to form a thick and long lasting foam, t must help to lubricate the carpet and it must dry to a brittle non residual form that can be easily vacuumed out of the carpet. When using this method the carpet cleaner will begin by thoroughly pre-vacuuming your carpet. This is important since most of the soil in your carpet is dry ad can be removed easier and more completely with a good vacuuming. Next the cleaner will apply the shampoo to the carpet with a machine that will turn it into a thick foam. The foam will break down and absorb soil in the carpet. The cleaner might then use his cleaning machine to extract the foam or might simply let the foam completely dry in your carpet. When it dries it will turn into a brittle substance that is easy to remove. The last step in the process is to then vacuum the carpet again to remove the shampoo. The result is a clean carpet that is residue free and dry very quickly.

Read this article to see how carpet cleaning can improve the quality of your life if you are living with allergies.

There are a number of different reasons that carpet cleaning is beneficial to people with allergies. For starters it reduces the amount of contaminants in the air. Your carpet acts like an air filter actually pulling contaminants out of the air. When this filter gets full it stops being effective and can have the effect of actually making the air worse. Clean your carpet at least once a year to keep this air filter working at the top efficiency that it is capable of. Clean it more often if you live in particularly dusty areas. Another benefit that carpet cleaning can have for allergy sufferers is to remove dust mites from your home. You can not completely remove dust mites because where there is dead skin (which we are constantly losing) there will be dust mites. But you can reduce the level by cleaning your carpet often to remove dead skin cells and dander. Reducing the amount of dust mites reduces the level of dust mite waste which is what affects allergies. The last reason that I will give for cleaning your carpet is that it removes contaminants from your carpet that you might be sensitive to. Think of what is in your carpet like pollen , dust, pet dander, cooking grease, etc. Remove this material and breath cleaner and purer air.

A you can see from this article, there are many reasons to clean your carpet on a regular basis. If it has been a while since your last professional carpet cleaning call your local cleaner today and schedule a cleaning appointment. Allergy relief is just a short phone call away.

Probably so if you are reading this article. So which method are you going to choose? You have several methods to choose from and this makes it a difficult decision if you know nothing about them. Read this article and find out about one of those methods, dry powder carpet cleaning.

Dry powder carpet cleaning is a method that has become fairly popular. Although you may have never heard of it, it is a method that has been around for many years. The method is similar to other methods except for the method of extraction. The first step in the cleaning process is the thorough vacuuming of the carpet. Dry soil represents up to eighty percent of the contaminants in your carpet and it is easiest removed by a pre-vacuuming so this is an important step. After the carpet is vacuumed a pre-spray is lightly misted onto the carpet. The carpet cleaner then spreads out a slightly moist or dry cleaning compound onto the carpeting. Next using a machine with counter rotating nylon brushes the cleaner agitates the compound into the carpet. They go multiple directions to hit all sides of the carpet fiber. The powder in this process acts like tiny sponges scrubbing and absorbing the soil in your carpet. After they finish agitating the compound it is vacuumed from the carpet. The result is a carpet that is clean and dry. It is ready for immediate use making it one of the fastest drying methods of carpet cleaning. The advantage of this method is of course that it dries very quickly. This is important in commercial settings or if you just have a busy home where you can not keep your kids or family off of the carpet for very long. The disadvantage to this method is that it is not as through as other methods such as steam cleaning. If you have severely soiled carpets or pet stains you might be better off going with a steam cleaning method.

I hope this article will help you decide on which method of carpet cleaning to choose. Be sure to research all of the available methods and choose the one that works best for you and your particular situation. Good luck with your decision.

The number one secondary service offered by carpet cleaners is upholstery cleaning. They might not all advertise it but probably close to 90 or 95 percent of them do it. So this is almost a given. One service that you might not think about though is tile and grout cleaning. With the increased popularity of hard surfaces many carpet cleaners have diversified into tile and grout cleaning. They after all use the same equipment that they already own so it is a no brainer for them. For you it is great because you probably know how hard it can be to clean the grout lines on your tile floor. Consider having someone clean your tile and grout at the same time you get your next carpet cleaning. And be sure to ask them about sealing it as well. Another service offered by many carpet cleaners is air duct cleaning. Your homes air ducts can over time build up quite a bit of dirt, dander, pollen, dust mites, etc in its duct work. Air duct cleaning will remove this material and leave you with a fresher smelling and healthier home. Consider having your air ducts cleaned every five or so years. You do not have to guess if they are dirty though. Many cleaners offer video inspection so you can see for yourself. One final cleaning service you might not know to ask about is pressure washing. Many carpet cleaners have carpet cleaning equipment that is so powerful that it can also be used to pressure wash driveways and sidewalks or even siding. Ask your carpet cleaner if they offer this service to freshen up your homes sidewalks or drives and add to its curb appeal.

As you can see, most carpet cleaners today clean more than just carpet. This works out great for you because you can hire one company to do multiple projects and might even qualify for multiple service discounts from your cleaner. So next time you schedule that carpet cleaning, ask about other services that they might offer.

First you should know what dry cleaning is. Dry carpet cleaners use moisture but they use much less moisture than traditional steam cleaning uses. This has a number of benefits for you. For example, when you use less moisture you have less chances of stains and spots wicking back up in the future. You also do not have to worry about waiting all day for your carpet to dry and you do not have to worry about the possibility of mildew growth. With dry carpet cleaning your carpet is dry and ready to be used in about one hour. Now that you know the importance of dry cleaning you should know that not all dry carpet cleaners are created the same. Some use chemicals that are very hazardous to your health. But why do they use these chemicals? Basically they use chemicals that have been designed years ago. They are old school chemicals designed at a time when getting the carpet visibly clean was all that was important. Today people are thinking about their health as well as the appearance of their homes. There is no need to use such harsh chemicals if your cleaning process is sound. So basically the reason people still use these chemicals is laziness and unwillingness to change. You should insist that a cleaner uses all natural cleaning chemicals for a number of different reasons. For example, they are safe for you and your family. Most of the chemicals are even safe enough to drink. They have no or minimal odor which is great for allergy sufferers or chemically sensitive individuals. It is also much safe for the environment as you are not using harsh solvents and petrochemicals.

As you can see there are a number of reasons to choose an all natural dry carpet cleaner. So next time you need your carpet cleaned look for a natural cleaner. You will not regret it.

It is very important that you find a good company for a couple of reasons. If you hire the wrong company they can do quite a bit of damage. Read this article to learn about two of the risks of hiring a bad company.

One problem that can arise from a bad carpet cleaning is rapid resoiling. This is probably the most common thing that can happen when a bad cleaning company cleans your carpet. They will typically use too much cleaning solution in an effort to speed up their cleaning. They might even use a chemical that is cheaper and not approved for carpet cleaning to improve their bottom line. The residue they leave will cause your carpets to get dirty very quickly. A good carpet cleaner on the other hand will thoroughly rinse your carpet leaving it residue free and clean for much longer.

The second problem that can occur with improper cleaning is mildew growth. This can occur if they soak the carpet so much that it does not dry for days. Many bad cleaners will use too much pressure on machines with too little vacuum so that they can get through your home faster. The result is a carpet that is thoroughly soaked. When it dries days later you will find it just as dirty as it was before but now with a musty odor. Professional cleaners can get your carpet dry in as little as one hour but will have it dry within about six hours. Anything more is unacceptable these days.

I am sure you can see that these are two very bad potential problems. This is why you need to take the time to find a good carpet cleaner. The time you spend researching will be well spent.

There is nothing wrong with enlisting professional carpet cleaning services for your home. Having a professional carpet cleaning service come to your home will guarantee that the job is done right. If you attempt to clean your carpets on your own and do a poor job, you run the risk of allowing mold to build up in your carpets -- something you absolutely do not want! Besides doing a professional carpet cleaning job is a lot of hard work and carrying those large machines from a carpet machine rental store to your home is not exactly an easy task.

Professional carpet cleaners use special equipment to accomplish their tasks. In most cases, this equipment is not easily accessible for the average homeowner. While there are many so-called carpet cleaners and shampooing machines on the market, very few of them can do the kind of carpet cleaning that professionals can offer. The carpet cleaning machines that you purchase from the local appliance store is a good way to maintain your carpets between professional cleanings, but in no way a method of replacing them.

Keeping your carpet clean is the first step in keeping the rest of your home clean. While you may do your best with the vacuum cleaner everyday, you may not know exactly how to properly maintain the type of carpet in your home. A professional carpet cleaning service will know exactly how to care for your carpet. If you attempt to clean your carpet incorrectly, there is a chance you could actually end up ruining it! A professional carpet cleaning will prevent you from losing your carpet at your own risk.

Professional carpet cleaners use special cleansers that are not typically available in department stores. It is true that there are many different carpet cleaners out there, but many of them are simply not strong enough to provide the deep clean that professional carpet cleaning services can provide. Deep carpet cleaning can eliminate allergens, dander, and germs from your home's carpet. A professional carpet cleaning can help remove not only dirt from the floor but keep the air in your home clean as well.

Although professional carpet cleaning services do cost money, it is well worth it. If you properly maintain a clean carpet, it could last for years. In the long run, it can save you money on replacing the carpet and flooring throughout your home. If you are concerned about the cost of professional carpet cleaning, simply shop around. Compare different services, their prices, and always get referrals.This article about Carpet Cleaning was written by Abe S.

You have probably also wondered if it is really worth it or if it mainly benefits the carpet cleaners pocketbook. Read this article and learn about why you should or should not have protector applied.

Whether or not to have carpet cleaner applied to your carpet is and important decision. There are many reasons to use it and many reasons not to. I will start with the reasons to have it applied. Carpet protector acts like wax on your car. It forms a barrier between dirt and your carpet. This means that many spills will simply dry on the surface instead of sinking into the fibers. They can then be easily cleaned up or even vacuumed off when they completely dry. If you have expensive carpet you should definitely have protector applied. You have invested a lot of money in your carpet and need to protect it. You will also want to use protector if you have a Nylon carpet and have kids running around with food and drink. Nylon carpet, which is very common, is susceptible to acid dyes commonly found in food and protectors will have acid dye blockers.

In addition to these reasons to use protector there are also reasons to not have it applied. For starters if you have purchased an inexpensive carpet it might not be worth the cost as the carpet will probably wear out quickly. Another reason not to have carpet protector applied is if you have an Olefin carpet. Olefin does not stain easily and will not see much benefit from protectors. In fact the protector will probably not even adhere well to the fiber of Olefin. Lastly if you plan on cleaning your carpet often you might be better off putting the money towards your future cleaning costs.

This is also the bad news too. With so many options, how do you choose exactly which service will best serve your carpet cleaning needs?

Shampooing

Some carpet cleaning services offer basic shampooing packages. This is where they come in and apply a chemical cleaning solution to your floor and then scrub the floor clean with a special floor cleaning machine or carpet shampooing machine which removes the solution and moisture from your carpet. This generally leaves your carpet looking nice and clean. This is a great temporary fix for carpet problems they do however tend to come back in time. You should take caution with this type of service to at least find out which chemicals they are using and any potential damage they may have to the fibers of your carpet.

Dry Cleaning Your Carpet

Carpet cleaning services that offer dry cleaning are certainly becoming popular alternatives. 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.

The Bonnet Method For Carpet Cleaning

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.
