Rug Cleaning Minneapolis

When it comes to rug cleaning, Rug Cleaning Minneapolis recommends few basic principles to follow.

There are many good reasons for installing rugs in a home or office. Aside from their obvious aesthetic appeal, rugs also buffer the sound (like footsteps) and protect underlying floor coverings from scuffing, staining and showing signs of wear. But while your rugs are protecting your interiors, what are you doing to protect your rugs? Do you know the ins and outs of rug cleaning?

Basic Rug Cleaning Principles - Rug Cleaning Minneapolis

The first principle of basic rug cleaning by Rug Cleaning Minneapolis is to do your best to keep them from getting dirty in the first place. This principle applies primarily to large rugs and carpets. Because of their size or because they are set down under furniture, moving large rugs is out of the question. If you're dealing with a rug like this, then make sure you've got a door mat outside your door, or a small, inexpensive, machine - washable area rug placed just inside the door. Simply wiping off the bottom of your shoes on one of these strategically placed mats or area rugs will trap a good amount of dirt before it has a chance to go any farther.

Even with area rugs and door mats in place, dirt and dust - along with pet dander, sloughed skin cells, hair, crumbs and other indoor pollutants - are going to make their way onto your carpet. If you ignore these traces of daily life, they will not only build up, but they will embed themselves in the base of you rug, where, in time, they will begin to emit unpleasant odors and can cause carpet discoloration and degradation. Vacuuming once a week really does help remove a significant amount of carpet pollutants.

Steam Cleaning

In addition to weekly vacuuming, you will probably need to have your rugs deep cleaned once every two to three years - more often if you've got indoor pets, young children or suffer from respiratory sensitivities. The most efficient way to deep clean a rug is through steam cleaning, also known as water extraction. In this process, pressurized jets of steam are applied to your rug to release embedded dirt, which is simultaneously extracted - along with all water and moisture. Steam cleaning is a service provided by the professional's of rug cleaning Minneapolis. Our rug cleaners use state of the art, commercial grade, truck mounted equipment for maximum cleaning and maximum extraction. You can also purchase or rent steam cleaners, but a word of caution: some of these machines fall short in providing the power to get the job done properly. Over-wetting the carpet, insufficient extraction and insufficient drying can ruin your carpet.
