DIY VS Professional Carpet Cleaning




The common misconception about professional carpet cleaning service is it is costly, inconvenient, and one can clean a carpet oneself using self-purchased steam cleaning machines or use stain removal products available in a DIY shop.

To correct the misconception, we have to understand the difference between the two cleaning processes to draw a fairer conclusion.

DIY Carpet Cleaning

Typical DIY cleaning involves regular carpet vacuuming, removing stains on carpet using DIY stain removal products found in a hardware store, and some may even purchase or lease equipment to clean it.

Regular vacuuming is a necessary carpet maintenance practice which should be done daily to minimize the quantity of accumulated dust, dirt particles, and microorganism in it. This regular exercise is recommended not only to maintain the condition of the carpet, but regular dust removal also help to improve indoor air quality and minimize exposure to indoor airborne allergens.

While the occurrence of a carpet stain is inevitable to prevent, one should be extra cautious when applying chemical based stain removal products from hardware stores. As a result of chemical content in carpet stain removal solutions sold on the market, you must be very careful when selecting the carpet stain removal solution and to follow given instructions diligently as one wrong application step may cause permanent damage that cannot be reversed, even by any professional cleaning service companies. By then, you may end up spending more money to get it repaired or replaced.

Purchasing or leasing cleaning equipment may be an alternative solution. But before making the purchase, it is highly recommended to check with your carpet installer which carpet cleaning method is suitable for your carpet material. Some carpet material should not get wet at all while some carpet may discolor if not cleaned appropriately.

Professional Carpet Cleaning

Reputable professional carpet cleaning companies would invest money to research and bring in an effective cleaning system and products to produce an excellent and safe cleaning result. Furthermore, carpet cleaning operators are often trained professionally and have many years of experience in handling several types of carpet and challenging conditions.

Carpet cleaning cost is normally pegged to the total cleanable carpet area and the existing carpet condition. So the dirtier it is, the longer it will take to clean the carpet. This means longer man hour and more cleaning products needed to clean the carpet which will incur a higher cost. Dirtier carpet also has less chance to get all the stains and dirt removed as a number of the stains may have penetrated into the carpet fiber which makes them impossible to be removed.
