When talking about carpet cleaning, different methods are being followed by residential carpet cleaners. In fact, different methods are available for this purpose and homeowners do not actually know that the fibers present in different carpets are not one and the same and so some of them need different methods while others need some other methods to get rid of the dust and dirt collected for several months or even years together. Some substances used for cleaning can be friendly on a type of rug, while it will not be suitable for other types of rugs due to the fiber used therein. Before actually hiring a professional firm offering the service, it is best to inquire about the different methods followed by them or there are some firms that follow only a single method. If you are selecting a firm that follows only a single method, it would be wise to inquire whether the method followed by them will be suitable for your fiber.

Even though, professional help would be ideal, the method followed by the professional should not deteriorate the value of your carpet rather than improving it. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of money. Residential carpet cleaners make use of different methods and some of the most popular methods are discussed below:

Shampooing: Shampooing is considered the least effective method and under this method, the formulated detergents are directly applied on to the rugs and then the professionals will be making use of a machine that can stir up the detergent thereby ensuring the removal of dirt and dust. Finally, they will be applying vacuum for ensuring a brighter look. If a homeowner is looking for cleaning for an occasion that is going to be held in the house, where a large number of invitees will be walking on the carpets and so after the completion of the function, cleaning should be done again, shampooing method would be the ideal choice. But, when the focus is on the health and wellness for the kids, this would not be the suitable method.

Steam carpet cleaning: This is one of the most popular methods and as this method makes use of huge water, the dirt and dust can be completely removed. But, when a homeowner is planning to use this method, it is better to select a professional firm with good experience in this method. This is because if it is not done properly, if the water is not completely removed, it can cause future problems to the carpet.

So, carefully select the best firm following steam carpet cleaning method and  enhance the life of your carpets.
