Is DIY Carpet Cleaning for You?

Do It Yourself

DIY can be amazing! It can help bring out our creative side, help us learn new household maintenance skills, save us money and so much more.  However, there are certain things that are best left to the professionals. Why is this?

With certain household maintenance projects, attempting to do-it-yourself can end up causing more damage and costing you even more money. For instance, with plumbing, you can likely repair a minor faucet leak or replace a toilet flapper all on your own. But if a repair is going to involve more than a basic tool kit, you should probably contact a licensed professional so as to avoid burst pipes and overflowing toilets.

Can’t I Just Rent a Steam Cleaner?

Carpet is an amazing tool! It pads your feet, compliments your décor, and acts as an incredible filter to remove dust from the air. However, this filter also traps allergens and bacteria. As with all types of filters, in time, they get full and need to be cleaned. But what is the best way to do this?

You could go down to the grocery store or hardware store at the corner and pay a small fee to rent a carpet steam cleaner for the day. You’re carpet might even look better in the short term. However, these portable often leave your carpet saturated with soap and water as they simply don’t have enough suction to thoroughly rinse and extract your carpet fibers. The longer your carpet sits wet, the more likely mold, mildew and bacteria will begin to grow. Plus, without proper rinsing, soap will stay in your carpet and act like a magnet causing your carpet to re-soil quickly.

In contrast, professional hot water extraction, such as that used by Preferred Carpet Care of Redding, provides a deeper, longer lasting clean that your whole family will enjoy. Our truck mount carpet cleaning unit comes with a motor the size of a huge John Deere tractor. That sort of power enables us to produce the correct temperature of water backed by the right amount of suction to thoroughly rinse, extract and sanitize your carpet.

The Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning

With hot water extraction by Preferred Carpet Care, not only will your carpet look and feel better for a longer period of time, it will help decrease the effects of indoor allergens, keep your warranty valid and extend your carpets’ lifetime. Being that carpet is generally the 3rd most expensive investment in your home, professional carpet cleaning is well worth the cost to protect that investment.
