WHAT IS Deep Carpet Cleaning?

Carpet Cleaning Machines

Using a carpet cleaning machine is an efficient way to deep clean carpets. Scrubbing by hand is tiring and won't achieve the same results as a machine. Likewise, vacuuming is useful for maintenance, but not a substitute for deep cleaning. Carpet cleaning machines use extraction technology to remove dust and debris trapped in the fibers. These machines can be rented or purchased for use by homeowners or professionals in the cleaning industry. The level of extraction power depends on the machine and where it is obtained. Factors such as cleaning solutions, heat, and agitation also affect cleaning results.

Carpet Cleaner Rental vs. Professional

Choosing between DIY or professional deep cleaning for carpets can be hard. Renting machines is a cheaper option, but in the long run, hiring a professional service like Stanley Steemer may be a better choice. It's important to consider the costs and trade-offs when deciding which method to use. Rental machines require research to determine the proper cleaning method for specific carpets and spots. They usually have one setting and cleaning solution that can damage carpets with too much heat and moisture.

When renting a machine, how it was previously used and its condition can be unknown, raising questions about its cleanliness and effectiveness. This can lead to the unintentional spread of dirt, grime, and odors in your home from other places. A professional deep clean eliminates the risk and trouble of dirtying carpets. With Stanley Steemer, you are guaranteed high-quality equipment that is thoroughly maintained and cleaned after each use.

Buying a Home Carpet Cleaner

Investing in your own carpet cleaner may seem like a good idea, but it has similar downsides to renting. You still need to determine the best cleaning method for your specific carpets or spots and using the wrong technique or cleaning solution can cause damage and leave residue. Just as well, home carpet cleaners labeled as "lightweight" can be strenuous to use, especially on stairs or for those who are physically impaired. Additionally, small water tanks and short extension cords can make cleaning a hassle.

Hiring a professional service allows for skilled and equipped technicians to handle the job and avoid mistreatment of carpets. Stanley Steemer even moves furniture for hard-to-reach surfaces! Lastly, home carpet cleaners can be a pricey investment that may need repairs within a few months of use. They also require maintenance like cleaning the bristles and sanitizing the water tank. Failure to do so can result in the unintentional spread of dirt and debris, like a rental machine.

Attachments and Spot Cleaners

Commonly known brands of home carpet cleaners and rentals also offer attachments for furniture and upholstery. These attachments can be poorly maintained, and misuse can ruin upholstery. They may also collect unknown filth like pet hair or dandruff that can be spread onto furniture. Our Stanley Steemer technicians inspect the fabric of your upholstery and determine the best cleaning method for that material, whether it's leather, polyester, wool, or microfiber. We use EPA Safer Choice solutions to avoid harmful chemicals. A professional deep clean from our team leaves your furniture mess-free and worry-free.
