What to Look For From a Carpet Cleaning Company

When it comes to carpet cleaning, you have many choices. So, what do you do? Do you look for the cheapest? After all, all companies are pretty much the same aren’t they? I mean, they all clean your carpets.

Well, the answer is actually, a surprising no. There are different cleaning methods. Some companies use chemicals to clean with – using a dry-cleaning process. The advantage of this method is that your carpet doesn’t get nearly as wet. The disadvantage is that chemicals can be left behind.

Steam extraction’s advantage is that it thoroughly loosens dirt, even deep-down ground in dirt. It’s disadvantage is that it leaves your carpets a little damp.

Most major carpet manufacturers – like Shaw – recommend using steam extraction.

Next is how many steps are in employed in the cleaning process. The more steps there are, the better the clean. For example, most carpet cleaning companies only employ three to four steps to clean. That’s because they can do more jobs in less time. But these short-cuts lead to missed areas, such as along baseboards. Deep, ground-in dirt in high traffic is left behind as well.

Look for a company that offers a 10 step process, such as HiCaliber. This process begins involves:

1. Moving furniture
2. Heavy duty vacuuming
3. Spot removal
4. Pre-conditioning
5. Carpet agitation
6. Jet steam extraction
7. Low speed buffing
8. Baseboards/Fab set APP (pH balance)
9. Tab furniture
10. Final finishing

Only through this process can you be guaranteed that all dirt is removed.

We wish you much success in your cleaning,
