Keeping the carpets clean and presentable can often times be a real hassle. This is especially true if you have children or pets and you live an on the go lifestyle. No one wants to have unsightly stains or blemishes on their carpets. It can be embarrassing, especially when you have visitors to your home.
Many times people resign to just paying professional carpet cleaners to remedy this problem. They waste a considerable amount of money, and that might surprise you to hear me say that since I am a professional carpet cleaner myself. You can do everything the carpet cleaning company can do, and often times you can do it better and your results will last longer.
You will notice a great improvement from using a carpet cleaning company, but it only looks so good because the strength or suction of their equipment is so strong. You might be shocked to learn that their products leave a residue which actually attracts dirt! This will have you facing the same dilemma just a few weeks later!
You can find a top of the line carpet shampooer that will also work on hard floors for less than $200. This might sound expensive, but when you think about the savings you will incur over time it soon becomes very worth it. You now own the equipment and you will never have to hire a carpet cleaning company again. Finding a place to store your equipment will be easy, it is only about the size of a vacuum cleaner.
When you take into consideration the cost of cleaning supplies, you will soon see that you can clean your own carpets as often as you like for less than the cost of one appointment with a carpet cleaning company.
This is not hard labor that will make you miserable either. The machine you purchase will not be heavy or bulky. It will be light and it will glide as you guide it to make your carpets look new again. Using rotating scrub brushes is a good idea and will make doing this even easier for you.
It is not challenging at all using this equipment to clean your carpets. Unless you move very slowly, I’d expect to finish three decent sized rooms in about an hour. Upon finishing each room be sure to use a fan to expedite the drying process. First time carpet cleaners are often freaked out by how much dirt is collected from their carpets in the process.
The main cost associated with cleaning carpets is the shampoo which is completely unnecessary. I use warm water, a teaspoon or so of regular dishwashing detergent (you don’t want it to foam), and a little ammonia or vinegar. Don’t use an excessive amount, as water will remove most of the dirt. The most important thing is to not let the carpet get sopping wet, but to keep addressing the problem areas until the waste water is clean and the spots are gone.
You will also be able to clean furniture, upholstery, and even the carpets in your vehicle too. Attachments will come with your equipment that will allow you to do all of this. Why would you want to spend hundreds of dollars to hire a carpet cleaning company to do this work? You’ve been presented with an alternative, and it can be really fun. Teach your kids how to use the equipment too so if they spill grape juice on your carpet they can take responsibility and clean it themself. Keeping clean carpets is a great feeling and I hope you enjoy it!
