Rug, Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Service

The best way to take care of your home's interior is to treat your rugs, carpets and upholstery to a good cleaning every two or three years. Any reputable rug, carpet & upholstery cleaning service can get the job done for you, but how often do you need to call on such a service? Is there anything you can do to lengthen the time between hiring a professional rug, carpet and upholstery cleaning service? What should you expect on cleaning day? How much should it cost?

How Often?

Carpet manufacturers recommend having your carpets and rugs cleaned every eighteen to twenty-four months. Deep cleaning is geared to removing the dirt that becomes embedded in carpet fibers and at the base of your carpet during regular use. Use the manufacturer's recommendation as a guideline - if your carpets are installed in high traffic areas, or, alternatively, in low traffic areas, adjust the timing accordingly.

Most carpet cleaning services offer upholstery cleaning services as well. Piggy-backing an upholstery cleaning session when you're having your carpets cleaned is a smart idea. Upholstery collects reminders of all the people that sit on it - body oils, sloughed skin cells, dander, fur, hair, food particles, etc. The same steam cleaning process that professionals use to deep clean your carpets will do wonders for your furniture, as well.

Better Results

The best thing you can do to ensure the success of any carpet cleaning session is to be fastidious about the care of your carpets, rugs and upholstery. Vacuum everything weekly. Take care of spills and other accidents promptly to avoid staining. And on the day before cleaning day, take a little time to remove as much clutter from the room as possible to as to provide access to as much of the carpet and upholstery as possible.

Cleaning Day

Upon arrival, professional cleaning crews begin by preparing the room(s) that is to be cleaned. As per your contract with the organization, they will move furniture in order to access as much carpet as possible - very large or heavy pieces may be moved slightly or not at all. The carpet/upholstery will be inspected for problem areas such as spots, stains, discoloration or signs of wear and then vacuumed and pretreated as necessary. Then, the extraction process will begin - a steam ejecting wand will jet pressurized steam onto the surfaces to loosen and flush out dirt, mites and other pollutants and a high suction extractor will simultaneous remove the debris and moisture.

How much will it cost?

Cost is usually a function of size - the bigger the surface being cleaned, the more expensive the session. But there are other factors to consider as well. A good rule of thumb is to compare prices and if one provider offers a price that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
