Do it Ur Self vs. Professional Carpet Cleaning Service
Carpet Cleaning Service – with a machine
The majority of the machines are steamers (the “steam” is a hot detergent solution that the machine sprays on the rug). Steamers not only apply they solution but also use suction to remove it. They require water, however, which complicates matters, and they aren’t all that convenient to use.
Some steamers get their water supply via a long hose that you attached to a hot water faucet.
As you clean, the hose is dragged along. In other, you fill a reservoir with hot water. With both kinds, you will eventually need to pour out the dirty water, which is collected in the base of the machine. With any machine that uses water, or with any wet cleaner you scrub yourself, you must wait for the carpet to dry, which can take at least overnight. There’s also a risk of wetting the carpet too much. Instead of water and detergent, some machines use powder. They may apply the powder, scrub it in, and use suction to remove it, or they may merely apply the powder and provide agitation.
Schedule on appointment first the ideal sequence of events would be for the cleaning service to visit your office space to carefully evaluate the carpets condition before rendering an estimate.
Some cleaning services will provide a preliminary price pending closer inspection in the office space.
This is perfectly acceptable if the cleaning service does a careful inspection and requite (if necessary) before carpet cleaning service begins.
The carpet cleaning service should discuss its procedures in details. Depending on the carpets condition, it may not be possible to clean the carpet completely. The company should inform the customer if its cleaning cleaners will not be able to remove a stain without damage. There shouldn’t be any surprises.
Recommendations
Whether you do the work yourself or hire professional cleaning company, be sure to clean your carpet before it becomes very soiled. Many products should be able to handle a lightly soiled carpet. Ground –in dirt is much more difficult to remove.
In general, when carpet has been heavily soiled, it’s better to hire a professional carpet cleaning service.
