Your carpet will most likely have been one of the most
expensive purchases in your home so you will need to be
satisfied that the carpet cleaner knows how to treat you
carpet correctly.
General maintenance should be
carried out regularly to ensure that the carpet stays in as good
condition as when you purchased it. This will include regular
vacuuming and spot cleaning of stains as they occur. Using a
quality stain remover is important to ensure that no permanent
bleaching or damage is done to the carpet. Always spot check an
inconspicuous area of the carpet before using a stain remover.
Every 12 to 18 months you should
consider bringing in a professional carpet cleaner to provide your
carpets with a complete and thorough cleaning. If you have pets or
children, or if you or any family member has allergies you might
need to have this service done more regularly. This may also be so
required for any high traffic areas of your home.
Consider the following when
choosing a carpet cleaner:
-
Select a carpet cleaning
business that is aware of different carpet types and their
carpet cleaning needs
-
Ensure that you are given a
quote and are told what is included in the price
-
Ask friends or relatives about
good carpet cleaners that they have used.
-
Ensure that you enquire as to
how long your carpets will take to dry
-
Ensure that the carpet cleaner
is licensed and insured
-
Check to see if the moving of
furniture is included in the quote
-
Do they also clean area rugs,
braided rugs, shag carpets
etc?
