In this audio program we will discuss the different carpet cleaners and products that are currently on the market. Who knows?

What types of carpet cleaning devices are there?

There are several different models of carpet cleaners on the market today. You can find heavy duty uprights or you can find little hand held cleaning machines. The size you choose should be based on how big an area you will be cleaning. You should also consider models that are specifically designed to treat pet stained carpets if you own indoor pets. Stains can reach deep down to the substructure of the floor beneath the carpet so it is important to find a carpet cleaner that can get those far reaching stains and remove them.

How much will professional carpet cleaning services cost?

Professional carpet cleaning services charge per foot of carpet area. They also will tack on the cost of supplies and any specialty areas such as large staircases. When you hire the cleaning service you should also ask if they clean upholstery. That would be a perfect time to give your furniture a thorough cleaning. The price is also based on what condition the carpets are in. If there is mold or mildew present a specialty service will need to be called in to remove the mold and mildew.

What is Chem-Dry carpet cleaning?

Chem-Dry carpet cleaning is a method that uses less water to clean your carpets. A traditional carpet cleaning machine will saturate the areas of carpet and then suck up the excess. Unfortunately this still leaves the carpets damp. The carpets must then dry over the course of a couple of days. With the Chem-Dry system there is no need to wait days for the carpets to dry. They are usually dry within 1-2 hours. The real secret behind the Chem-Dry system is the chemicals used to treat the carpets. The solution contains carbonate ingredients that dry much faster than the typical water/soap solutions.

How do I clean up pet stains?

Pet stains are a literal pain to deal with. Not only do you have to deal with the smell but you have to deal with the discoloration as well. The best treatment you can use on a pet stain is to buy specially formulated spot treatments that are designed to lift pet stains. Simply spray the cleaner on, scrub with a brush and then gently but firmly blot with a paper towel or rag until the area is dry. If your carpets are especially stained by pets you may want to consider hiring a professional carpet cleaning service to come in and do your entire carpets to rid yourself of the smell and stains.
