Professional Chicago Carpet Cleaning Why Not To diy

I am a owner operator I here this from all my carpet cleaning clients everyday.

Don't drive yourself crazy call a professional

1. I tried to do it myself but all the spots came back and look good for a day or two.

2. I rented the equipment and after the rental fees and cleaning products it was over a 100.00 dollars and for a few dollars more could have hired a professional.

3. When I did it myself it took me a whole day to clean one room and I had to pay for another day and never got to clean the rest of my house.

4. I was sore for 2 days from scrubbing the carpet.

5. The carpet took 3 days to dry.

6. We rented the carpet cleaning machine and there was still dirt and dog hair from the last person who rented it inside the machine.

I have been going into a lot of the local grocery stores from Walmart to Petsmart and have checked this out myself and also asked them who cleans the machines when the customers drop it off after renting the portable carpet cleaning units and most said we don't know. The other said no one does they just put them back. This is a huge no no this can cause bacteria to be bring in from home to home from fleas, bed bug and who else knows what they cleaned with it. Personally I would call a professional local carpet cleaner. The experienced carpet cleaners that are owner operated usually and always should clean and sanitize there hoses after each and every home this is a huge factor. Personally This is something we do after every job not at the end of the day or end off the week. I have worked for larger carpet cleaning companies in chicago areas when I was young and have yet to see one company clean their equipment and sanitize. I am sorry but if you seen the homes we went into you would never let them through the front door.

DIY Carpet Cleaning- Tips from Steve Samoska!

Although vacuum carpet cleaning can remove a majority of the dry soil, it is also necessary to clean your carpet on a frequent basis to remove the oily, sticky soil that builds up in the pile as a result of odors and dirt that is tracked in from outside.  

If you can clean the carpet before it becomes too bad, the cleaning chore will be easier to do and a lot more successful.  There is a myth that is totally false, which states that cleaning the carpet before it is necessary will get it dirtier faster.  

The carpet with the typical household should be cleaned every 12 - 18 months depending on the number of people living there and the amount of traffic that walks on the carpet.

The choice of the right vacuum is important as well.  There are some vacuums that will leave residues behind, which will promote re-soiling and basically defeat the whole purpose of household cleaning.  

Professional carpet cleaners

It is in your best interest to use professional cleaners simply because their experience will enable them to do a much better job than you can do yourself. The equipment they use has more extraction power than the units available to you, and the carpet will dry faster as well.  They know the cleaning agents to use, and they know the differences in carpet construction and fibers.

Doing it yourself

If you have made the decision to rent a steam cleaning machine and do the job yourself, you should check on several systems before you make a selection.  Most of the units available for rent don't clean well enough and may end up damaging

your carpet.  Therefore, you should always consider the following:

¡  Several rental companies offer cleaning equipment that is similar to what the professionals use.  The equipment should have enough vacuum power to allow the carpet to dry within 12 hours of cleaning.  You should always avoid rental units found in retail and grocery stores that don't have the power to extract the cleaning solution from the carpet fast enough, as it can actually damage the carpet due to over wetting.

¡  Make sure you avoid over wetting the carpet.  Any prolonged dampness can lead to mildew growth and bacteria in the carpet, or cause a seperation of the backing.  A wet carpet that stays this way for longer than 24 hours can develop 

problems.  You can control this by using proper equipment and the right training.

¡  Carpets that have stain resistant treatments have to be cleaned with products that are formulated for this very purpose, or the stain resistance will be impaired and the warranty will be voided.  Never use cleaning or spotting solutions that contain bleaches as they can mess up the color of the carpet.

¡  Never use any silicone based treatments on the carpet.  

¡  You can help to reduce the drying time by using several fans to move the air around the carpet.  You can use a dehumidifier as well, as it will pull moisture from the air.  

Hot water extraction

The hot water extraction system is highly recommended, as it considered to be one of the best methods for carpet cleaning.  Also known as steam cleaning, the process consists of spraying a mixture of water and detergent into the pile and recovering the 

water and soil with a powerful vacuum that puts it into a holding tank.  You can use a truck mounted unit or a portable self contained unit as well.  This method is easily one of the best, and is ideal for soiled carpets or pet stains that you have yet to

get out of the fibers.

The Best Carpet Choices- Just Ask Steve!

Carpet Choices

When you select carpet for your home, you have many things to consider and many different 

options to weigh as well.  Carpets come in many different colors and styles, textures and fibers, and there are many different qualities to choose from as well.

The two most popular choices of carpet today are the loop pile and cut pile.  Loop pile has individual strands of yarn pulled through the backing of the carpet twice, which creates a small loop.  

The cut pile has the loop cut at the top, leaving tufts of yarn that stand straight up. Cut pile is normally more durable than looped pile.  Cut piles come in many styles, such as shag, textured, saxony, and velvet.  Loop pile choices include berber, cable, or sisal.  For high traffic areas, loop pile is an excellent choice.

One of the factors with choosing your carpet is the cost.  Even though there is nothing more luxurious than having wool carpeting in your home, most of us  can't afford wool.  If you are able to afford wool carpeting you'll find that even though it costs more to install, it will prove to be far more superior than any other type of carpeting.  There is no man made carpet fiber that come close to the durability, rich look, or even the feel of wool - which can also last for 30 years or more.

Acrylic carpeting is very similar to wool, and sometimes referred to as man made wool.  It is resistant to moisture, fading, mildew, crushing, and staining, although it isn't recommended for high traffic areas.  

Nylon carpeting is also popular, as it is recommended for high traffic areas.  Nylon is one of the most expensive types of synthetic fibers, although it

is still cheaper than wool.  

Olefin is a low cost carpet material, often used for indoor or outdoor carpeting.  Olefin is colorfast and strong, very easy to clean.  One of the draw backs to olefin is that it can easily be crushed.

Another consideration you'll have is the color and patterns of the carpet.  Light carpeting colors help to create a spacious effect, making the room appear to be larger.  Light color carpets will of course, show much more soil than dark colors.

If you have pets around the house or little kids,dark colors may be your best bet.  There are many different varieties of dark colors, which is great for those interested in style.  Dark colors are ideal for stains or pets, as they don't show soiled areas near as much as light colored carpets.

If you end up selecting light colors around pets or little kids, you'll find yourself having to work twice as hard to make stains less noticeable.  It would be easier and also smarter to select a dark color and make it easier on yourself.

The Benefits of having Carpet in your Home

Benefits Of Carpet

In the past and even today, carpet is very popular with home owners all across the U.S.  Carpet is the most practical, fashionable, and versatile choice of flooring out there, as it also accounts for more than half of all flooring purchases that are made each and every year.  The fact is, carpet has outsold every other type of flooring for more than 60 years.

Carpet offers you several advantages that other flooring options can't compete with.  Below, you will find many of the features that carpet will add to your home.

Warmth

Carpet is the best choice you can make for your bedroom, family room, and other areas where you need warmth underfoot. 

Insulation

Both carpet and carpet padding will provide an extra layer of much needed insulation between the floors of your home.  Depending on the density and weight of the carpet, it contributes to the R-value of your home, which adds to the energy efficiency

as well.

Safety

Carpet offers a slip resistant surface that will prevent accidents along with a natural cushion in the event of someone falling.  For young children and the elderly, this is very important.

Reduction in sound

Carpet will also reduce noise better than any other type of flooring.  Carpet works to dampen noise in three ways:

               1.  Reduces surface noise from foot traffic

               2.  Absorbs airborne sound

               3.  Blocks transmission of sound

These qualities are valuable in apartments as well as semi-detached homes.

Surface

Adding carpet to a room can also disguise any existing damage to the floor and also hide any other problems such as warped floors.  The thicker density the carpet is, the more problems it will be able to hide.

Easy to care for

The carpets of today are more stain resistant than they have ever been in the past, which makes cleaning even the worst possible spills easier than ever.  No matter type of spill it may be,there is always a way to clean it up. 

Clean air

Research has proven that carpet can indeed improve the quality of air by trapping allergy causing dust and allergens if it is properly cleaned and maintained. 

Variety of use

Carpets aren't only for floors anymore, which is a really great thing.  You can easily add carpet to steps, stairs, walls, posts, and other non level surfaces, without having to worry about it slipping, lifting, or buckling.

Flexibility

Carpet is the primary foundation in almost any room.  Because it is available in a variety of different colors and textures, it helps to create an unlimited number of possibilities for decorating.  From the neutral tones to rich solids, carpet is the first step you can take to make your home look better than ever.

Low cost

Carpet doesn't cost a lot of money, as it offers an economical alternative to the other types of expensive flooring.  Even with professional installation, you won't pay near as much as you would for hard surfaces.  Unlike hard surfaces, carpet can keep you comfortable if you decideto lay down on it.

Life span

The carpets of today are very durable and can outlast most other types of flooring available on the market.  All you have to do is select a type of carpet that has a life span of 5 – 30 years or more, which is very common now days.

Warranty

With most manufacturers, you can get great warranties with your carpet purchase.  This way, you'll be protected when you install your new carpet.  Once installed, all you have to do is enjoy it - as the warranty will ensure that you are very well protected.

The Best Way to Clean Antique Area Rugs

Antique type carpets help to add a touch of grandeur and glamour to your home or office, speaking greatly about your rich and extravagant tastes.  Antique carpets are beautiful home furnishings and solid art investments.  They aren't just decorative items, but pieces of tradition, ethnicity, and true class that dates back thousands of years.

Antique carpets represent enormous range in motifs and color harmonies and you'll simply lose yourself seeing the diverse combinations of rich antique colors and heavy intricate weaving.

The diverse range of antique carpet pieces that you'll encounter while shopping for them are mostly Oriental carpets and rugs that portray the mystery and legend of the far off lands of the Orient. 

Antique carpets and rugs are imported mostly from China, Persia, India, Afghanistan, Caucasus, and Turkey. Some of the famous weaving areas of such antique carpets

include Kashan, Agra, and many other locations.

Antique carpets have a more artistic integrity, as they are exclusively hand woven.  They are sold all over the world, with clients more than willing to pay whatever they have to in order to redefine their home and decorate in style.

If you are looking to add luster and glamour to your home or office and are ready to spend a fortune on the exquisite pieces of art, then you shouldn’t wait a single

minute. 

The first thing to do, is contact one of the several reliable, knowledgeable, and genuine art dealers and galleries who deal in antique carpets and have profound knowledge about the various aspects of a good and genuine antique carpet.  They can guide you in selecting the best one per your budget and tastes.

You've got a bit of work to do as well.  You should visit a lot of dealers and educate yourself about dyes, wools, design quality, and the many styles of weaving as well.  Touch the carpet and scrutinize them carefully.  Beware of the machine made synthetic carpets that some dealers will tell you are antique carpets.

Below, are some tips to help you when buying  antique carpet.

1.    You have to remain careful and thoughtful while analyzing each piece of antique carpet.

2.    You'll also need to try and understand the age and origin of the carpet that will in turn give you a much better insight about the overall quality of the carpet.

3.    You'll also need to look and see if the edge and borders are there in the antique carpet you intend to buy, as the end and edge borders are sometimes lost or even cut out on purpose.  Keep in mind that the borders will determine the overall value of your carpet.

4.    Keep an eye out for holes and moth attacks that are both common when dealing with antique carpets.  These problems must be attended to before you buy the carpet.

5.    You should always deal with dealers who have the prices marked on the carpet.  See to it that your dealer sticks to that price.
