Clean Transformation Carpet Cleaning FAQ
All carpet manufacturers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggest daily vacuuming. This is a tough one to hear. But, outdoor pollutants and allergens paired with indoor pollutants such as animal dander, dead skin, and dust mites are filtered into the biggest filter in your house. Therefore, in between professional carpet cleaning, aggressive vacuuming schedules are a very effective way to keep your carpet and home optimally healthy.
Discount carpet is made with less durable fibers, which break down much quicker and show permanent damage much more rapidly. This can occur in just a matter of months, leaving you unsatisfied. If you throw in a lower grade pad, this only accelerates the damage. It’s best to look for a nice nylon carpet with wear resistance and a higher grade pad. Quality carpet paired with regular professional carpet cleaning can provide decades of life instead of just two or three years.
Most of these cleaners use harsh chemicals to remove the stains. Unfortunately, products such as Resolve remove the color in about one-third of all carpets. So, it’s literally like playing Russian roulette with your carpet. With our carpet cleaning services, we use specially formulated products, backed by science, to safely remove stains according to the nature of the stain. With each cleaning, we will give you a complimentary spotter bottle that is fabric safe. Otherwise, look for a cleaner that is backed by carpet manufacturers such as Mohawk. They have a spotter available on sites such as Amazon.
This is one of the most common beliefs because it used to have some truth to it. The old shampoo methods, which commonly left residues in the carpet, would re-soil the carpet more rapidly. However, today we use hot water extraction and thoroughly remove any pretreatments. There are some carpet cleaning companies out there that could damage the carpet by using overly aggressive pretreatments. You can rest assured that we use pretreatments with PH levels that won’t strip away any protector or make your carpets soil quicker. Even though you may not see visible soiling in your newer carpet, there are microscopic pieces of dirt, soil, and toxins that break down the protective coating and, eventually, the fibers.
Typically, these machines are good at getting the carpet wet but not as good at extracting an optimal amount of water. It can leave carpets susceptible to things like mildew and premature breakdown of the backing. Additionally, if the soaps are not extracted completely it will cause a breakdown of the fibers, as well as rapid re-soiling. Instead, it's always your best bet to call in the pros for all your carpet cleaning needs.
Typically, small rugs in strategically placed areas will help save your carpet from wear or high spill areas. However, I do warn against using rugs with rubber backing. These backs will permanently discolor your carpet in a hurry. I’ve had people put them under a recliner to stop the grease deposits from the recliner. I can remove grease with our carpet cleaning methods, but nothing can be done about a carpet discolored from a rubber mat. Many people will use extra carpet either in front of a highly used couch or under the recliners, which is a much safer option.
This is not a good thing to do. These products contain non-soluble talcum powder, which gets embedded in the fibers, backing, and padding. It simply does not get completely vacuumed out as advertised. When carpet cleaning with these products, the non-soluble powder can also create different wicking issues. There are even cases of people having to replace two-year-old carpet from excessive use of these products.
