03/15/2018 Carpets are a part of the interior that gets dirty and smelly more often than we would like, especially if you have small kids or pets in the house. Carpets need to be cleaned thoroughly every once in a while because of the dust and the persistent stains from shoes, food or pet urine.

There are some tips you may consider when thinking of making your carpets clean and fresh again.

Your own carpet cleaning system

If your carpets are light-colored or you have a permanent problem with stains from food or pets, it is best that you consider buying your own carpet cleaning system. The price of these cleaning systems range from $80 to $400 and you can clean your carpets regularly. It would pay off in long-term, but it cannot replace the professional carpet cleaning services which have special equipment and drying chambers.

Be careful with water

Most of the home cleaning systems represents units that inject a cleaning solution directly into fibers and after that-the dirt is pulled back into the machine. You should choose the models that do not require a clean water hookup so you wouldn`t have to worry about the hose of the cleaning system. Also, do not exaggerate when using steam as it would make your carpets too wet. If carpets are too wet, they cannot dry quickly and that can cause an odor, shrinkage or blemish.

Use dry method

Beside home steamers, there are carpets cleaning systems for home use which utilize the dry extraction method. Before vacuuming with the cleaning machine, you should spread a dry absorbent compound. Although dry cleaning systems give better results, they are more expensive and so are the chemicals that are used for absorption of dirt from the carpets.

Hire cleaning professionals
If you want to save the time and money and get perfectly clean carpets, the best solution is that you hire a professional cleaning company that will deliver clean and fresh carpets to your doorstep such as Belview Floorcare which provides professional steam carpet cleaning services to residential and commercial customers in Rochester, NY and surrounding cities.

Rent a professional cleaning system

You can rent a professional cleaning system that is more powerful than home cleaning units. Most grocery stores and rental centers are offering to rent you a carpet cleaner for $20. You have to bear in mind that you would need to pay extra for a carpet shampoo, de-foamer and stain and odor removers.
