If you are hesitating on hiring a carpet cleaning service because you think that it is not all that important then please read on so you can be better informed about what these services bring to the table with regard to your carpet cleanliness and maintenance.

With vacuum cleaners and do it yourself carpet cleaning steam machines on the market one might have the opinion that hiring professional cleaning services for ones’ carpet is no longer needed.

This view may seem logical but only because we are not able to see beneath the surface. Home steam cleaners and vacuum cleaners are for the most part designed to remove surface dirt. If you look at the picture to your left you will see that professional equipment is far more powerful than the at home steam machines that one can use. The professional steam equipment is able to penetrate the carpet fibers and into the pile for deep cleaning. This is why although some know the method as steam cleaning the more apt description is actually deep cleaning. Another major difference when it comes to at home steaming and professional services is the fact that at home or the do it yourself process is only two step, vacuuming and carpet steaming while professional services are comprised of several more steps to ensure thorough cleaning. Some of the additional steps include pre-treatment which is applied after vacuuming and before steaming as well as stain removal and others. Be warned however that not all carpet cleaning services are”Professional”. Others claim to be but are not and will not be able to deliver the same standard of cleanliness that carpet manufacturers advise. Be sure to get sevices that are properly certified and are open about charges and the services included.
