“How can I tell if my carpet needs to be cleaned?”

If you can’t remember what color it used to be… it’s probably time to clean your carpet.

Seriously… ALL carpet manufacturers recommend cleaning your carpet every 6 to 12 months and they REQUIRE you to clean it at least every 18 months – 24 months.

If you have kids and pets, you may want to clean more often.  Although children are wondrous  beings with a special gift for bringing joy into your life, they also bring something else – kid crud.

Kid crud is all that stuff that gets dragged into your beautiful home that can damage the fibers and shorten your carpet’s life.

If left to it’s own devices,  this soil and grit will act just like sandpaper and the abrasion will  eventually permanently damage your carpet fibers

Quoting the carpet mills again, the best way to clean your carpet is use hot water extraction AND have an IICRC certified cleaning technician do the cleaning for you.

In short, you want to call US… because we’re the professional cleaning experts!

“Why can’t I just clean my Carpeting myself?”

You can do it yourself. Here’s how: 

This is what Shaw Carpets, the largest carpet manufacturer in the world, recommends for DIY cleaning: 

1. Make sure the carpet will dry quicklyThe cleaning equipment you select should have enough vacuum power to allow the carpet  to dry within 6 to 12 hours after cleaning. Units that do not have the power to extract the cleaning solution from the carpet adequately may actually damage the carpet due to over wetting.

 2. Do not use excessive detergent Use a cleaning solution with a pH less than 10, preferably near 9. The attraction between the detergent and the soil and oil particles is critical during the cleaning process. However, if it isn’t rinsed completely, the buildup of detergent residue is the most common cause of accelerated re-soiling complaints. Shaw also recommends a clear-water rinse after cleaning.

3. Know your warranty guidelines Carpet with stain resistant treatments must be cleaned with products formulated for this purpose, or the stain resistance will be impaired and the warranty voided. Do not use cleaning or spotting solutions that contain bleaches or optical brighteners. 

 OR… it would be a whole lot easier (and safer) to have the pros at Commander Carpet Care do it for you.
