Professional Carpet Cleaning

Professional Carpet Cleaning is what Stain Solutions Gold Coast believes in. Stain Solutions Gold Coast should always be your #1 choice because when the time arrives, should you should clean your carpets yourself?

Unfortunately many make the mistake of thinking they can clean their own carpets and because of this they never get a professional result.

You’ve spent a fortune on your beautiful carpets and upholstery. Therefore it makes sense to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and follow maintenance measures, like spot cleaning and regular vacuuming.

Then, you realise your carpet or upholstery needs to have a proper clean. Because the upholstery starts looking dull and the once fresh smell from new has gone you know it’s time to get professional help.

So, one thing NOT to do is go to the local hardware or supermarket and hire a carpet cleaning machine. As a professional carpet cleaning company we can assure you this is a bad choice. Therefore seek to have it done by a Professional Carpet Cleaning Company.

Until things go wrong, it will always appear to be cheaper doing it yourself rather than using a professional carpet cleaner.  For too many people, it looks like an easy job. I mean to say “who can’t put water in a machine with shampoo and start cleaning”. If it was as simple as that then yes, anyone can.

Nothing can go wrong, right? WRONG! Oh oh, things have gone bad.

The next section of this article I will explain why you never really save money. Above all I will talk through how easy it is for things to go wrong. That beautiful carpet or upholstery in your home now looks secondary. Not to mention the associated health risks that gowes with carpet that not cleaned well could carry excess water.

Truck Mount Preferred Option

The best method is Steam Cleaning using a Truck Mount. Now you’re not going to get a truck mount machine in the back of your car. It’s highly likely you won’t even get a portable carpet cleaning machine in your car!.

So the machine you hire is really probably equivalent to a carpet cleaner from your retailer. Not always but in most cases yes.

Therefore many things play part in successfully cleaning your carpets.

SUCTION:

Without good suction, unless you make several dry passes you are really running a HUGE risk of overwetting the carpet. At a minimum standard, you will only accept the power of a portable as it will have 2 motors. However, a truck mount is a totally different beast. A good truck mount and a good operator will leave your carpets drier and cleaner hands down! What else can go wrong during this process? Well, the dirt is going to stay embedded in the fibre as there’s not enough power to draw it up.

HEAT

The water used can only be as hot as the hot water system can produce on the property. In most states, the temperature is regulated and will not be anywhere near the heat of a Truck Mount. So what does this mean?

As professional carpet cleaning truck mount machines operate at far higher temperatures and pressures it is impossible to produce the same result. The boiling hot water will enable far greater soil extraction.

SHAMPOO:

The Professional Carpet Cleaning Company has access to specially formulated shampoos not available to the public. Stain Solutions Gold Coast uses formulated shampoos that are Bio Degreadeable and with some of the Shampoos Allergy free!.

You can’t just use any shampoo. There are shampoos for different fibres of the carpet and for different conditions. One product does not do all. Stain Solutions Gold Coast has up to 8 different shampoos to choose from.

So What Can Go Wrong?

If you clean your carpets yourself, it’s likely the carpet will be too wet. This can damage the backing of the carpet. In many situations, the backing is made up of natural fibres. The fibres in the carpet absorb the water and swell. It’s also possible that you will get a rippling effect on the carpet.

The backing of the carpet possibly will also shrink. Noticeable signs are the carpet pulling away from the edges of the room.

Amongst the signs of damage is the damage caused to the backing. It separates from the pile, known in the industry as “delamination”

BROWNING:

Browning is very common when carpets are over wet. It causes a brown stain over the carpet which also happens to upholstery.

When you rent a carpet hot water extractor machine the chemicals that come with them can be too alkaline.

These chemicals along with over-wetting of the carpet increase the chance of cellulosic browning.

NOW THE HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OVER WETTING THE CARPET

Mould, mildew and dust mites. It’s not often, but possible that over wetting the carpet will introduce mould and mildew to the carpet.

It’s not always obvious but some of the signs will be darker areas on the carpet. Often you might not see it at first as the mould and mildew usually grows on the backing of the carpet which turns to black.

Many people say the carpet starts smelling.

DANGER:

The horrifying danger is the spores now get released. Not good, particularly if you’re an asthma sufferer.

If you live in a high humidity area, due to carpets being over wet can also increase dust mite populations. This means that a suitable dust mite control program needs to be implemented. This link is directed to dust mites etc on a mattress but still relevant.

ARE CARPET & UPHOLSTERY FABRICS THE SAME?

Not at all. As mentioned earlier, we use up to 8 different shampoos. Stain Solutions Gold Coast will always walk through the property and inspect the fibre and condition. We are then in a position to professionally clean the carpets.

Are you still feeling you are best to use a hire machine? Probably not, however, you know more of what can go wrong so you’re in a better position to make the right call.
