The Best Way To Clean Your Carpets And Show Them Off
No one wants embarrassing stains on their carpets. Your carpets represent your home and the condition you keep it in. What are you supposed to do when you are busy and you have children or pets? Keeping the carpets clean and presentable can be quite a hassle for most people.
Should you decide to hire a carpet cleaning company to make your carpets shine again? It might surprise you to hear me say no, since I’ve been cleaning carpets professionally in Miami for over 20 years. You can do this yourself and save yourself a ton of money. Once you read this article and follow the steps I’ve outlined, you will be able to keep your carpets stunningly clean for less money than you ever would believe.
You will notice a great improvement from using a carpet cleaning company, but it only looks so impressive 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!
Several companies, like Hoover and Bissell for example, now have top of the line carpet shampooers (that also work on plain floors) for around $200. That might sound like a lot, but it is about half the price you will be quoted by a Miami carpet cleaning company! Now you own the equipment, and it is available whenever you need to clean your carpets. It also conveniently takes up about as much space as your 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.
You will not be subjected to slave labor either. These machines are not heavy or bulky like the ones you rent at the grocery that seem impossible to get in and out of the car and into your house. Choosing a machine with rotating scrub brushes can also ensure you wont be breaking a sweat.
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.
Spending excessive amounts of money of shampoos for your carpet is totally unnecessary. You don’t need them and they are rather expensive. Try using warm water with a teaspoon of laundry detergent. Don’t use too much detergent; you want to make sure it doesn’t foam. Be sure not to use too much water either, you don’t want the carpets to become too wet. For added cleaning strength, add some vinegar. Just repeat the process until the stains are gone.
Attachments provided with the device will clean upholstery and the carpets in your car too. Having an alternative to paying hundreds of dollars to carpet cleaners is a wonderful thing. I can guarantee it will make life more fun and stress free, especially if you have kids. So if you drop a plate of spaghetti just remember that life goes on – when you know how to clean your carpets that is.
