Approximately 80% of the population do not use a professional carpet cleaner, preferring to spray on a cleaning product or hire a low power machine and attempt a clean themselves.
We as cleaning pros know this is a false economy but how do we convince the general public of what to us is so obvious?
Attempting to remove stains from your carpet using products purchased from a supermarket can prove to be very costly.
The carpet below shows bleached areas which are a result of using such products.
The manufacturers claims that they will remove all kinds of stains easily may well be true in the beginning, what they fail to tell you is that they are very highly concentrated and if not rinsed thoroughly and neutralised will continue to work into your carpet long after you think you have finished removing the stains.
Another thing which we hear all too often is ‘I have scrubbed it and scrubbed it and it still looks bad!’
STOP!!!!!
Spillages and stains should only ever be blotted gently. Scrubbing causes the pile of your carpet to burst and as a result will give a worn and dirty appearance, while leaving the stain behind and lots of irreversible damage too.
If this happens to you call in reputable, qualified and insured professionals who know the correct chemicals and procedures to deal with such accidents, without causing further damage and costing you a small fortune to replace them.
Why do carpet cleaning chemicals cause stains?
The above answer gives a clue, it is because highly concentrated solutions are sprayed or squirted onto a carpet and basically left. They are sticky, if you don’t believe me spray some onto a plate, let the water evaporate and feel the stickiness!
Pro carpet cleaners rinse out the dirt and any chemical which has been sprayed on, leaving you with clean and soft carpets.
The difference is outstanding.
Carpets and upholstery which are professionally cleaned will last longer, look better and feel softer.
You would not wear your clothes for a few weeks and only clean them when they started to really look and smell bad, so why do it with your soft furnishings.
Professionally cleaned carpets will not get dirty faster provided the cleaner rinses all cleaning solutions out of the carpet. This is done by pre spraying the cleaning chemical and then actually ‘steam cleaning’ using plain hot water, results are outstanding, I have literally thousand of happy customers.
Carpet cleaning is a profession and true professionals will give you much cleaner carpets and upholstery.

I read from magazine, dont clean carpet with the soap, because the resulting foam soap will leave a residue that remains of it will tie up more dust on the carpet
