Processes Conducted After Cleaning
After the carpets have been extracted completely, there should be a final inspection to ensure that all stains have been handled appropriately according to standard procedures.
Perhaps there are one or two stains that have persisted despite your best efforts, and these would respond well to additional treatment with a different chemical and another extraction.
When a carpet cleaning technician is satisfied that all stains have been effectively treated, the next step is to expedite the drying process as much as possible by combing the carpet fibers with a grooming brush and, in some instances, making use of turbo dryers. This is an extremely important step.
What You Should Be Doing in the Intervals Between Your Regular Appointments with a Professional Cleaner
Even while the procedure described above will make a significant impact on the overall beauty and health of your home and carpets, there are several steps that you should (and shouldn’t) do in the time in between when you have your carpets professionally cleaned.
1. Be sure to vacuum frequently.
If you vacuum your carpets on a regular basis, you may prevent the loose soil and debris from transforming into unsightly greying or brown spots that impair the appearance of light-colored carpets. Yes, I am aware that this is really predictable and dull, but it is true. In addition to this, it stops the premature wear of the carpet fibers that are caused by grit and abrasive filth.
2. Never, ever, ever use “expert” stain cleaning treatments that can be purchased in a store.
They are rarely effective. In addition, they frequently destroy carpets.
What else can I say? You’ve been warned.
3. Use clean water and cloth to blot any stains that have appeared.
It’s possible that you’ve heard this advice before: blot, don’t scrub.
You should never “clean” the stain because doing so may cause it to spread across a larger area of the carpet and, in addition to making the stain appear visually worse, you may also damage the fibers of the carpet. Scrubbing should be avoided at all costs.
The key is to have patience.
4. Take fast action to clean up any spills.
Yes, I am aware that you probably clean up any spills as soon as they happen with a towel or a mop (in my experience, very few people are happy to spend their evening watching a red wine stain sink deeper and deeper into their carpet, adding a menacing purple hue to freshly fitted beige wool!), so please don’t take offense if I assume that you do this.
But if the stain is still visible after you have blotted it with a towel, it is much more cost effective to call a local professional carpet cleaner and ask them to remove the stain than it is to risk ruining your carpet by attempting to treat it with a concoction of harsh chemicals. Call your local professional carpet cleaner at (phone number).
5. You should think about using a stain protector of good quality.
Protectors against stains can create a barrier against accidental spills, which would otherwise leave behind unsightly stains.
It is possible that purchasing this kind of detergent, which has a relatively low price tag, will make the difference between blotting up a spill and having to replace an expensive carpet.
These chemicals can also aid in preventing soils from being embedded, which will make the process of vacuuming much simpler.
