Vacuuming carpets or giving floors a quick mop once in a while isn't enough if you want to keep the surfaces under your feet in tip-top condition.Wooden and tiled floors are much simpler to clean than carpets – it's a job that shouldn't pose any problems if you want to tackle it yourself and you won't need to hire any equipment.
There are four major indicators of the need for a deep-cleaning job: the carpet is matted and feels sticky; the carpet is no longer the same color as the remnant you saved when the carpet was new; the carpet has grimy circles around the chairs; or the carpet releases a dust storm when you run across the room.If any of these descriptions fit your carpet, then it is time to deep-clean it. Unless you have the time and strength to do a thorough cleaning job, it's time to call in the professionals.

CarpetsDeep cleaning carpets properly requires equipment that you're unlikely to have in your own home.
The most common DIY method for deep cleaning carpets is to use hot steam.‘Condition your carpet with a cleanser before using steam to scour it deep down, restoring dust-choked colours and killing bacteria,' Victoria says. ‘Be careful not to soak your carpets and to ensure they dry out as quickly as possible. The last thing you want is lingering, mould-encouraging moisture.'
Professional carpet cleaners are more likely to use shampoo – but you can do this yourself if you hire the right equipment. The rotary machine feeds cleaning solution through its revolving brushes, working it deep into the pile. The same machine then removes the solution, together with any ingrained dirt. If you want to use this method in your home, ensure the machine is intended for carpets and not hard flooring – if you arrange your hiring through us we can ensure you have the correct tools.
Dry foam extraction is a technique which involves using a machine to work foamed detergent into the carpet – this is then vacuumed out afterwards. Dry extraction is a similar method, but instead massages an absorbent compound cleaner into the carpet – this attracts oils and dirt which can then be removed by vacuuming.
Getting Out of Trouble with Carpet Dirt Build Up
Dirt is not a difficult problem but if you let it build up for a while or worst for a much longer time, no one can tell if you can still remove it unless you call the experts to do it for you.
