As a Professional Carpet Cleaner many of my customers ask what they can do between cleanings to keep their carpets looking its best. Here is some suggestions.
Like everything else in this world, carpet durability has improved over the years. Carpet fiber composition has improved every year, giving consumers added value for their investment. New improvements will continue to be made, giving carpet owners more choices and improved performance at competitive pricing. On the other hand, “the more things change, the more they stay the same” is also still true. Here are some basic things that you can do to keep your carpets looking their best for as long as possible.
1. Vacuum at least every other day. This is the #1 thing you can do to keep your carpets looking good.
2. Vacuum the edges at least once a week. This is a little different than the regular vacuuming. Using your edge or crevice tool will help remove dust and dirt not cleaned with the normal vacuuming job. This will help the dark lines around the edges or the walls, (soil filtration lines) from appearing so quickly.
3. Clean your carpets at least once a year. If you have a lot of traffic in your house, you might need to clean your carpets more often. Dirt particles will damage your carpet fibers, and once damaged cleaning will remove the dirt, but the damage will remain, making your carpets look darker and worn even when clean.
4. Use a reputable carpet cleaning service that does not damage your carpet by over-wetting them. Too much water on your carpets can cause mildew and mold to start forming in the pad underneath your carpet. Shrinkage and stretching can also occur, and wood floors under the carpet and pad can sometimes warp from too much moisture.
5. Do not use a carpet cleaning service that uses soaps on your carpet. When cleaning solutions contain soap, your carpet will dry with a slight stickiness in it. It might look nice when first done, but 3 weeks later, it looks dark, dingy, and spotted.
6. Apply carpet protector when cleaning your carpet. Carpet protector will renew and refresh the coating that was originally on your carpet. Spot and spills will clean up easier and better when the carpet fibers are protected.
At Quick Dry Carpet Cleaning we do not over wet your carpet while cleaning nor do we use soap as a cleaning agent. All our carpet cleaning products are safe for kids and pets.

Carpet Cleaning and your lungs.
Recent findings by independent research laboratories have made some interesting discoveries concerning indoor air quality, and how different types of floor coverings, and how you clean them, can affect your health.
Have you noticed how many more people are affected by allergies or asthma problems than there used to be 30-40 years ago? One reason is the way we live our lives. It has been found that people now spend up to 90% of their time indoors. We now go from inside the car, to inside the car, to inside the indoor mall to shop, to working indoors at our office. Thus the indoor air quality issue is becoming more important to our good health.
In recent years the trend toward hard surface floor coverings, (tile, hardwood floors) has increased in homes. While the durability of some of these products is mostly good, tests have found that in regards to indoor healthy quality, carpet is by far the best choice. Inside your home, allergens, dust mites, mold spores and other items affect our health. When we breathe these things into our lungs, we run the chance of getting sick. Laboratory tests have shown the “breathing zone” is healthier and cleaner in homes that have carpet for floor coverings. It has been found that carpet acts as a “trap” to hold these ill-health producing germs. You can then remove them from your indoor environment by frequent vacuuming and cleaning of the carpet. With hard surface flooring, (tile, hardwood floors) the “breathing zone” contains more of the contaminates. They have no place to be contained, and will float and drift with air currents as you move around the house. Sweeping, mopping and cleaning these hard surfaces, cleans the surface but is ineffective at trapping and removing these “bad boys”.
The method of cleaning carpets has also been revealed as an important indoor healthy issue. The American Lung Association now recommends that your carpets be cleaned at least every 6 months to decrease the unhealthy pollutants in your home. It is also important that your carpets be cleaned with a process that dries in less than 12 hours. After 12 hours the molds and mildew spores grow at a tremendous rate. These spores will cause the unhealthy conditions mentioned above, in additions to possible unpleasant odors in your home.
Make sure you are using a professional carpet cleaning service when cleaning your carpets. Remember that just because someone calls themselves a professional, doesn’t mean they really are a professional. Ask questions and feel comfortable with who you choose to clean your carpets. Your health can depend on it.
At Quick Dry Carpet Cleaning our process dries in 1-2 hours. Be healthy and have clean carpets by calling our office to schedule your cleaning appointment.
