Guide to Carpet Cleaning – All Your Questions Answered

Guide to Carpet Cleaning – All Your Questions Answered

Things Every Home Owners Need To Know

Guide to Carpet Cleaning - All Your Questions Answered

Your carpet is one of the most important pieces of upholstery in the house. It also takes up a lot of space and gets stepped on a lot, so you will need to keep it clean.

Of course, carpet cleaning isn’t quite as difficult as many people make it out to be. Given that there are different types of carpets, the experts at NO1 Carpet Cleaning have looked into the process of cleaning them and even answer some burning questions that many people have.

Cleaning a Nylon Carpet

Nylon carpets are pretty popular. Many people prefer them because they easily repel stains. So, they’re quite easy to maintain.

Besides, nylon carpets can handle methods like hot water extraction, steam cleaning, and more. But, if you’re looking to optimize your carpet, regular cleaning will be the right option for you. To clean your nylon carpets, you’ll need the following:

  • Stain removal products (could be dish soap, lemons, white vinegar, etc.)
  • Vacuum cleaner
  • A piece of cloth

Cleaning Instructions

Vacuum the carpet thoroughly to take out all stains and debris. Remember not to use an overly stiff brush so the carpet doesn’t end up looking fuzzy.

You also want to pay close attention to the areas that get the most traffic. If the dirt is a spilled liquid, get it treated immediately. The gents listed above will be able to treat any drink and food stains by lifting them.

Another beauty of nylon carpets is that you can pick any detergent you like and make a DIY solution by mixing the agent with water. Get a clean cloth, dip it in the soap mixture, and apply it gently to the stain. Of course, you can start from the edges and treat the carpet inwards from there.

Nylon Carpet

Cleaning a Polypropylene Carpet

Polypropylene carpets aren’t quite as popular, but they are still in demand. They repel water and are color-fast. So, cleaning them is usually pretty easy most of the time.

But, polypropylene carpets are oleophilic. So, if you have oily stains and soils on them, it’s quite difficult to get them out. Polypropylene carpets are washable, and you can get any wet cleaning technique to clean them – hot water extraction, steam cleaning, etc.

To clean a polypropylene carpet, you will need the following:

  • Vacuum cleaner
  • A soft brush
  • Cloth
  • Stain removal agent

Cleaning Instructions

The first step as usual is vacuuming. Take out all fresh water-soluble stains with a clean cloth, then spray the mark with diluted bleach or liquid soap. Let the mixture sit for a while, then work the stain with the soft brush.

If you have oily soils, clean them specifically by applying cleaning products. But, hard soils are best left to dry first before you can vacuum their particles and clear the spot.

Cleaning a Wool Carpet

Wool carpets are the most popular. They come in different designs and styles, although they’re all extensions of the same material. Wool carpets are especially popular because they are resistant to fading. But, they are also prone to damage.

To clean a wool carpet, you’ll need the following:

  • A cleaning agent that specializes in wool
  • A vacuum cleaner
  • Cloth
  • Lukewarm water

Cleaning Instructions

Start with vacuuming the carpet. This will help to clear out all the debris, especially if it’s high-pile. It is also important to note that you will be better served if you vacuum new wool carpets several times a week. This will help to clear out fiber, fluff, lint, and other materials that can settle in its material from frequent use.

When dealing with wool carpets, it’s important for you to remove stains immediately. Test the agent you’re trying to use – even if the label says that it is perfect for cleaning wool carpets. If the wool has a mark on it, get cool water to treat it. This way, you can rest assured that its natural dyes won’t get damaged.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)

Carpet Cleaning Questions

1. Will professional carpet cleaning cost too much money?

Compared to the cost of replacing the carpet due to damage, you’ll find that professional carpet cleaning isn’t so expensive. It’s always recommended that you get a proper cleaning done.

2. How long will it take to have my carpet cleaned?

This usually depends on the size of the carpet and the process used. A trained carpet cleaning technician will be able to design a proper technique based on your requirements. If you want something quick, you simply need to let them know.

3. Can household carpet cleaners be used for spot removal?

Yes, they can. But, you want to be very careful. We will recommend that you get a quality stain removal product instead of a household item. You don’t want to cause problems for your fabric.

4. How often should I get a professional cleaning service for my carpets?

If you want to keep your carpets in good shape, we recommend getting regular care and maintenance for them. This will help to extend your carpet’s life and keep its aesthetic appeal.

At the very least, clean your carpets every three months. This way, you can take out any soil and stains before they get too deeply rooted in your fibers. With a quarterly cycle, you will only need to get a deep cleaning service once a year.

5. How long should I wait after cleaning before I can use the carpet?

We recommend allowing a drying time between six to ten hours before you step on the carpet. Of course, this will also depend on the carpet’s material and whether you can expose it directly to sunlight.

Also, wait for a day or two before you can put any furniture on the carpet after you clean it.

6. What other instructions should I follow?

Immediately the cleaning is done, you want to allow the carpets to dry. Leave them for about six to ten hours. If you want to improve air circulation, use air movers.

Also, if a carpet protector was applied, wait for about a day before you walk on it. Don’t place any furniture on the carpet until it is completely dry or the carpet protector has cured.

Conclusion

So, there you have it – a comprehensive guide to carpet cleaning. We hope that you now feel better equipped to deal with any potential spills or stains on your carpets. Remember, if in doubt, always consult a professional and don’t forget to take care of your carpets.

Very pleased to have chosen best 1 cleaning. The job was completed efficiently and the communication I received from Sam was very effective. Once completing the job Sam mentioned the house was actually classed as a 6 bedroom rather than a 5 bedroom property due to the size of the living room. However no extra charge was made which was beyond generous. An extremely friendly staff team. Thank you.

Needed someone last minute and (Sam) came on Saturday, the responsiveness was excellent! I forgot my keys however and he was happy to wait. Sam really went the extra mile. I know this because I had done research and compared with other companies and found BEST ONE to be best for value and upon seeing the results (especially where I knew there were troubled areas) Sam was able to make it super clean. Very impressed. Highly recommend this company and their service.

Sam did a fantastic job. The carpet is clean and, as agreed, he didn't use any chemicals. Having a 10month old baby, this was very important to me and i was pleasantly surprised that the carpet smelled just clean and didn't have any fragrance. Sam was very reliable, punctual, honest, friendly and professional. Second job with him and i will definitely call him again.

They helped me so much! Also, my call was an urgent request - I had 6L of water in my carpet. They got the extraction done and were so lovely and reassuring. I'm happy with the price, its on the lower end of the range for this service.

Had my carpets cleaned by a top bloke named Sai. He was a friendly dude who just charged me for the rooms and not the small hallway. He knew his stuff and got on with the job as efficiently as a 1990s Finnish Formula 1 driver. Carpets are now fresher than the outfit I bought for an upcoming hot date. Now all I need is the date.
