Tips For Hiring The Best Local Carpet Cleaners

As an experienced carpet cleaning professional with nearly 20-years experience, I am frequently asked about how often carpeting and upholstery should be cleaned by an expert. Additionally, many also request advice concerning grades of carpeting to be installed in the home. Rather than being burned by the carpet salesman, it seems that people would have the intelligence to seek advice by calling a few local cleaners. Unfortunately, this rarely happens and thus repeating the vicious circle. Lack of consumer education is the number one cause of 'uglied-out' textiles before their time. Poor purchasing decisions result in a complete waste of time and money that could have been avoided simply by taking heed to the practical advice of an expert. This article is to help address some of the commonly asked concerns customers have had over the years. Not always having the best answer, professionalism is certainly capable of retaining it from a reputable source.

What Carpeting Should I Have Installed?
Unfortunately, several cheaply manufactured fibers have recently become available over the years. With names like polyester, polypropylene and poly trimethylene. Confusing at first glance, these are merely different names for fibers made of recycled plastics. Sending plastic-waste to China, they manufacture more garbage, selling it to uneducated consumers world-wide. These fibers lack the resiliancy of nylon and wool fibers and are susceptible to absorbing oils. This causes them to 'ugli-out' due to foot traffic. Making matter worse, DuPont develops a 'SmartStrand' fiber containing stain-guard technology marketed toward pet owners. Adding features to a bad idea is a worse idea. In my professional opinion, stay clear of synthetic fibers for residential use. Having seen thousands of carpets over the years, I can testify that nylon holds up nearly ten-fold compared to it's inexpensive counter-part. Oddly enough, the cost difference is usually only a few cents per square foot. Therefore, poor purchasing decisions are generally the fault of greedy salesmen and not the consumer. Why do they do this? Because they know full-well that plastic carpeting and area rugs degrade more quickly and likely to result in more sales later down the road. Although Karastan carpeting is one of the most sought after names in carpet manufacturing, do not be duped by SmartStrand. 

When explaining which carpet is best, I try to keep it simple as possible. Fiber Type, Thread Count & Thread Twist. The three factors will help one to choose the best option pertaining to customer budget, expectation, need and requirements. Failing to acknowledge these factors often lead to buyer's remorse, grief and regret. Firstly is to select a fiber-type. Personally, I would only choose from cotton, wool and nylon, for residential purposes. For the sake of a good, strong quality carpet fiber, let's go with nylon. It's cheap, durable, resilient and stain resistant. Basically the best option in a home with kids and pets. A very popular option for high-end vacation rentals as well. Secondly, thread-count plays a crucial role to both resiliency and longevity. The more dense a carpet is, the more it is capable of distributing foot traffic, weight and normal wear & tear. A little investment in additional tread-count can effectively improve longevity by several additional years.  And lastly is thread-twist. This refers to the construction. The more tightly wound carpet strand are, the more resiliency the will retain over time.

In retrospect, for residential purposes, nylon carpeting with a high thread-count and twist is by far the best investment choice one can make. Offering the greatest value in longevity, resiliency and stain-resistance, nylon carpet is the most affordable carpeting option for the home. Do not be fooled by a scrupulous salesman. Take the advice of an experienced professional. We know a thing or two because we have seen a thing or two.  

What to Know Prior To Hiring A Local Carpet Cleaning - Exposing Angie's List
Third-party platforms, such as Angie's List and Home Advisor are pure money-grabs designed as a marking tool for service companies. Although offering a risk-free environment of customers, back-end fees are often quite expensive, driving up the cost of professional services. Due to these platforms, an Affordable Carpet Cleaning company advertising on Angies's List is often forced to over-price goods and services. However, this can be a positive for the locally owned and operated expert. Knowing that the competition is subject to high over-head operation cost, offering better competative rates now becomes a form of marketing rather than a bargain-basement discount. Fortunately, Google's 'nearby' technology makes creating a short-list of well-qualified candidates a breeze. Although a search for 'Best Affordable Carpet Cleaner Near Me' will return five-star companies in the area, a star rating is a terrible thing to base any purchasing decision upon. Are you willing to trust anyone in the home without calling and checking them out first? Secondly, what kind of cleaning methodology are the using? Chem Dry or Steam Cleaning? Did you know that truck mounted steam cleaning is the number one recommended cleaning methodology by carpet and furniture manufacturers world wide? Perhaps that should be hint. Also, the quality of cleaning products used by a cleaning service matter. Some use inexpensive harsh chemicals containing sticky residue while other only use top-notch certified green products safe for the whole family and the environment. Is family health worth a little research?

In retrospect, the cost of services generally reflects the quality of craftsmanship expected to be received. Low-cost carpet care signifies a reduction in service. The actual reduction is unknown until identified via telephone conversation or falling victim to scrupulous practices. Secondly, the quality of cleaners used will have a profound affect upon both carpeting cleanliness and a healthy living environment. Not only is Eco Friendly Carpet Care green and safe for the environment, mild cleaners are composed of natural and organic materials, a more healthy choice. 

How To Find A Local Carpet Cleaning Professional? 
Now days, the knee-jerk reaction to hiring an expert company for carpet and upholstery cleaning include illusions of do-it-yourself Rug Doctor rentals and low-cost alternatives that yield similar results. However, the most common fallacy that many make is to hire the first company seen online with multiple five-star reviews? Did you know that it is a common practice for small business to pay a third-party for fraudulent reviews? Google's business-friendly model does not exactly favor the customer, rather the one feeding them the most money. That's why it is common to see Google AdWord recommending 1.4-Star service providers. Sears Carpet Cleaning And Air Duct Cleaning is an example of a scrupulous company that rely heavily upon Google AdWords and Google Guarantee to decieve the local community. But most people do not realize the trap until it is too late. Although searching for 'Affordable Local Carpet Cleaning' is completely valid means of developing a short-list of well-qualified candidates in the area, it does not warrant negligence on the consumer's behalf. Calling each company is highly recommended for learning about styles of cleaning methodologies, pros & cons of each one and the types of chemicals used. As mentioned above, there is no rational line of thought for exposing an infant or pet to a toxic environment, especially when Eco Friendly carpet & upholstery cleaning is always an affordable option. But knowing for sure requires picking-up the phone.

How Often Should Carpets Be Professionally Cleaned?
The frequency carpeting should be professionally cleaned should be based upon the traffic it receives. Areas having greater amounts of traffic would greatly benefit being washed more often. Waiting until carpeting appears filthy should never be a barometer for measuring the need to schedule professional carpet care. Rather, an expert examination can indentify and recommend an ideal cleaning routine for extending life of carpeting much as possible. Due to different grades of carpeting, some benefit from wall to wall floor scrubbing more that others. For example, because polyester carpeting absorbs oils and sticky residue, foreign soils are more prone to attaching to their fibers. Although frequent vacuuming helps, layers of residue prevents bacteria, dander and dust from being properly removed. Eventually, these fibers experience permanent wear damage for abrasive soil accumulation. Routine steam cleaning will prevent this from happening has quickly, greatly extending the life of one's investment. Even though nylon carpet fibers are exposed to similar conditions, they react much differently due to their level of tolerance and resiliancy.
