Another Gardener asked:


Some of the carpet is in high traffic areas and has a lot of ground in dirt and set in stains. As replacing the carpet is not an option, what are some good pre-stain and steaming cleaning products that I could use to help clean the floor?

Myth: You should wait to have your carpet cleaned the first time, because it will never look the same again.

Fact: Waiting for your carpet to be cleaned will do nothing but create possible health hazards and make the job harder for your carpet cleaner. As long as you’ve hired a trained professional, your carpet should look better every time you clean it.

Myth: Carpet cleaning may shrink my carpet.

Fact: Your carpet will not shrink unless the hired cleaner leaves the carpet extremely wet. A professional cleaner will not allow this to happen, but play it safe and check for wetness before they leave your home.

Myth: You should not vacuum your carpet very often or it will deteriorate.

Fact: Studies have shown vacuuming your carpet 4 times a week does no more damage to your carpet than vacuuming it twice a month. In fact, the build-up of dirt and residue in carpet fibers can be harmful to your health, so vacuum frequently.

Myth:  I only have to clean my carpet if it has been stained.

Fact: The dirt and residue that can build up in your carpet over time is not always noticeable on the surface. It is smart to have your carpet cleaned at least once a year by a professional, especially if you have small children in the house.

Myth: I don’t have to clean my carpet because it has built-in stain resistance.

Fact: Although carpets with stain resistance will help with accidental spills, dirt still gets under the fibers. Treat your carpet the same as any other.

Myth: Cleaning your carpet often is bad for it.

Fact: You can never clean your carpet too much. In fact, the more often you clean your carpet, the longer it will retain its original appearance. Carpets aren’t cheap to buy; cleaning simply protects your investment.

Myth: Carpet cleaning can destroy my stain resistance.

Fact: Although stain resistance is by no means permanent, foot traffic actually loosens it up more than anything. Have a carpet cleaning specialist re-apply stain resistance every 3rd cleaning.

Myth: Cheaper cleaners do just as good a job, only for less.

Fact: Don’t hire a cleaner simply because their price is the cheapest. A bad carpet-cleaning job can leave your carpet worse off than it was to begin with.

Myth: I have my own carpet-cleaning machine, so I don’t need to hire a professional.

Fact: Although having your own machine is useful for small stains and routine cleaning, most home machines don’t have the suction power professional machines do. Because of this, the stain gets loosened up, but the residue is not completely removed from the carpet itself. It’s best to still have your carpet cleaned by a professional on occasion.

The use of the equipment depends on the place and area too. ‘Spotters’ are perfect for removing spots and stains.

Two types of machines are used for steam cleaning. In this type of carpet cleaning equipment, the self-made is a vacuum cleaner, and the steam which does not vacuum. A vacuum cleaner is suggested to use after cleaning.

Bonnet pad use for carpet cleaning is quite trendy. For this, your ‘bonnet pad’ has to be flexible so that it revolves tremendously at super speed. The equipment required includes few things. Those are a solution that cleans and the machine that cleans the bonnet, which is revolved on a carpet surface at high speed. A vacuum cleaner use is suggested by carpet cleaning experts even after ‘bonnet cleaning’.

The selection of the equipment that cleans the carpet depends on the area of carpet and the strength of the stain. Different equipments are needed for different conditions.
