Whether or not to hire a professional carpet cleaner could be the question on your mind. This article will help clear up some of the questions you may have.

When you consider your carpets, you might be wondering whether you should hire a professional to clean them for you or if you should try doing them yourself. In this article we will discuss a few things to consider.

Most people are primarily concerned with the money aspect of this decision. If cost is your concern you might be surprised to learn that, by hiring a professional, you will more than likely save money in the long run. This is due to the fact that professional cleaning removes more damage causing grime than do-it-yourself equipment. In addition regular cleaning would mean that the damage caused by this grime would be much less severe and you will be much less likely to need to replace your carpet as soon. Dirt acts as sand paper and wears the carpet down prematurely. By removing this contamination your carpet will last longer.

Cleaning your carpet professionally however should not take the place of regular vacuuming. Regular vacuuming can also reduce the amount of damage causing dirt in your carpet fibers. By vacuuming you will be picking up the majority of dirt and therefore it will not cause damage to your carpet. The problem is that there are smaller bits of dirt, body oils, and other soils that are impossible for you to pick up with standard vacuuming, and this is one of the reasons that you should think about hiring a professional who has the equipment and know how to remove these soils and oils for you.

How long will my carpets stay clean? Most Do-It-Yourself cleaning machines use a detergent when cleaning the carpet but do not have a rinse cycle or use a rinsing agent after the cleaning to neutralize the detergent. This causes a detergent or soapy residue to build up in your carpet causing it to get dirty much faster. A good carpet cleaner always rinses out all detergent residue from your carpet. This helps it to look clean much longer.

What do the carpet manufactures say about this subject? Carpet manufactures state that hot water extraction, other wise known as steam cleaning, is the only proper way to have your carpet cleaned and the only way to maintain your carpets warranty. This method also kills germs, allergens, dust mites etc. This leaves you with peace-of-mind, not having to worry about any of your family suffering any effects of contamination in the carpet.

A common bit of misinformation is that steam cleaned carpet takes a day or longer to dry. Although if you have an inexperienced cleaner this may occur. An experienced cleaner can usually have your carpets dry within 24 hours. This is why it is important to check testimonials and references on any professional you consider.If you would like to enjoy your carpet quality for years to come, then being able to hire somebody to clean them properly is almost certainly the best thing that you can do to ensure your carpets last many more years.

The recommendation by carpet manufactures is that you have them professionally

cleaned at the minimum of once a year. At an average cost of $150 to $300 not only does this keep your carpet fresh and looking like new but this will prevent a costly premature replacement of your carpeting.

Which company to hire is probably your last question. First off you need to be sure that they use hot water extraction. Dry cleaning companies leave a residue that will cause your carpet to get dirty faster after the cleaning. Secondly, look for references for any company you are considering. As your friends, visit review pages etc.
