Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you clean carpets?
We have developed a tried-and-tested cleaning process which includes vacuuming, sanitising, stain removal and deodorising your carpets. The deep carpet cleaning method we apply is hot water extraction, and it deals with the toughest and dirtiest spots on your carpet or fabric upholstery. First we would treat all visible stains with appropriate stain removal product and we would pre-spray the area with solution that would start lifting up the dirt. We use agitation machine to brush cleaning solution onto the carpet fibres to break down dirt, stubborn stains, embedded soil and oils. Then we would perform the actual shampoo and hot water extraction process, using our industrial carpet extractor Mytee speedster 500 psi. We can also use odour removal or stain protector on request. Our professional carpet cleaning procedures successfully removes stains, dirt, dust, odour and kills harmful bacteria.
Q: How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?
It depends on how much foot traffic your rugs undergo. Bigger families usually need to clean their carpets more often than small households. Treating the carpet with professional anti-stain protection products like Scotchguard can also extend the cleanliness of the flooring. Our specialists at Best Local Carpet Cleaners recommend professional carpet cleaning twice a year for home carpets and rugs used daily.
Q: How does hot water extraction cleaning work?
Although the Hot Water Extraction is often called “steam cleaning”, this deep cleaning method for washing carpets and upholstery is different from the standard steam treatment. Here is how it works:
- A solution of hot water and cleaning detergent is sprayed through a high-pressure nozzle deep into the carpet pile.
- Simultaneously, a suction nozzle extracts the liquid along with the dirt, grime, bacteria, and allergens from the threads, leaving the carpet sanitised and refreshed.
Hot water extraction machines absorb around 95% of the liquids. This professional steam carpet cleaning method is suitable for both natural and synthetic rugs and carpets, and for floorings made of mixed blends. From light carpet maintenance, to professional deep end of tenancy carpet cleaning, we've got it all covered!
Q: Do you guarantee spots and stain removal?
We are doing our best, and we use professional-grade cleaning products to remove stains from your carpet. However, we cannot promise a complete spot removal every time. Some stains are from substances that can permanently damage or discolour the carpet fibres. The age and type of carpet is also a factor that determines the success of the stain removal procedure. You can check some DIY carpet stain removal tecniques here: Home Stain Treatment.
Q: What stain protection do you offer, and why should I use it?
We will provide a professional-grade stain protection Scotchgard upon your request. The product significantly prolongs the span of the cleanliness of your floorings when applied right after a deep carpet cleaning. The stain-repellent layer helps considerably extend the life of your rug when applied at high-traffic areas in your home.
Q: How long will it take to clean my carpets?
On average, professional steam cleaning takes around 30 minutes per room. However, the cleaning time can vary depending on the size of the room, how many pieces of furniture must be moved, are there any tough stains on your carpet, etc.
