Helpful Facts Regarding Carpet Cleaning

By Suzanne Herrman


While we can clean many parts of our home ourselves, getting our carpeting and area rugs completely clean can be quite tricky. Calling in a professional Prairieville carpet cleaner or Baton Rouge carpet cleaning service can be an easy, effective way to keep carpets looking their best as well as staying as clean as possible. It takes just a few hours to get your carpets and area rugs looking practically brand new.

Before your carpet cleaner arrives, it's rarely necessary to move around your furniture. Most cleaning services will move the furniture. What you do need to move are any other items resting on the floors, such as a floor lamp or perhaps a basket or potted plants. We often find a variety of interesting items under beds and couches, so consider doing a quick clean-up in these areas.

People sometimes mistakenly believe that carpets are very wet after cleaning and that you must avoid walking on them until they are perfectly dry. Your carpets might be a bit damp, but they really shouldn't be wet, as the cleaning equipment removes most of the water. While you shouldn't wear street shoes on freshly deep cleaned carpets, walking on the carpet is usually fine. In general, removing shoes before you walk on your carpet is a great way to keep them clean for as long as possible.

While clean carpeting certainly looks and smells better than dirty carpeting, the main reason why deep cleaning needs to be completed once or twice each year is to improve your health. Professional cleaning removes the dust mites that trigger asthma problems and allergies as well as a large amount of other fungi, bacteria and even viruses. There are viruses that actually can live on unclean carpeting for as long as four or five weeks. If you have children or someone in your home has a weak immune system, carpet cleaning definitely can improve your health.

One thing that can make your carpet unattractive is a bad stain, but just about everything really can be removed if you accidently stain your carpeting. The trick is to treat the stained area immediately and to use the proper cleaning equipment, which might be a simple spray of ice cold water, a mix of white vinegar and water or perhaps some other substance. If you aren't sure how to remove a stain, give your carpet cleaner a call or perhaps browse the internet for tips about removing a specific type of stain from your specific type of carpeting.

Proper maintenance will keep your carpeting fresh for as long as possible after a cleaning. As stated before, eliminate wearing street shoes in your house and clean off dog paws when they come in from outside. Vacuum your carpet regularly. All carpets need to be vacuumed weekly to remove excess dust, but high traffic areas need vacuuming at least twice each week if not three times. Invest in a good quality vacuum and perhaps use one with a HEPA filter to trap in dust and dirt.
