Question 1: Why is vacuuming so important?
Answer: That's because most of the “dirt“ found in our carpets is tracked in by us and our pets. This insoluble “dry particle soil“ consisting of mostly sand, clay and quartz is easily removed through regular vacuuming. If this dry soil is left to build up underfoot, the grit constantly rubs against your carpet fiber like sandpaper. Removing the stain resistant coating on the fibers. This permanently scratches the fibers smooth surfaces, dulling the carpet's color. At this point, you can clean the carpet, but the beauty of your carpet in those areas is damaged beyond repair.
Question 2: Why do manufacturers' warranties require annual deep cleaning by a professional carpet cleaner?
Answer:
That's because of two destructive forces that normally affect every carpet--“soiling“ and loss of “texture.“
Soiling is the build-up of dirt particles and other similar materials that cling to your carpet's fibers. Despite regular vacuuming, these particles and materials accumulate withing the carpet pile and result in a gradual dulling of the carpet's color. It takes deep extraction cleaning with powerful equipment and quality cleaning solutions at least annually to remove this accumulated material. An important aspect of professional carpet cleaning is that it leaves no residue.
Over time, foot traffic also causes a change in the appearance of your carpet by changing its texture. Hot water extraction, either alone or in combination with a cleaning, refreshes the texture of the carpet by “resetting“ the twist of the fiber. Texture retention warranties recommend hot water extraction performed by a trained carpet care professional at least every 1 1/2 to 2 years.
Question 3: Why is it so important to use a Professional to clean my Carpets?
Answer:
Carpet Cleaners today are specially trained and even earn advanced degrees--called certifications--in carpet and upholstery cleaning technology,carpet repair,governmental regulations and compliance issues, and good business practices.
Todays carpets are made mostly from yarns of nylon, polyester and polypropylene--tightly twisted little plastic tuffs of high technology that present new cleaning challenges. Professional carpet cleaning today calls for a thorough understanding of, among other things: fibers types, carpet construction and proper installation techniques, soil types and degrees of soiling, carpet location and “traffic“ patterns, the use of professional cleaning equipment and correct application of advanced pre-treatment, cleaning, rinsing and post treatment solutions.
