When to Call the Carpet Cleaner?
If you are like me and my wife, we can't stand gross carpet making our home look like a trash dump. Between 2 dogs and 3 kids that's exactly what it always seems to look like though.
In an attempt to save a little bit of money on some of the services we use on a regular basis, it has become our goal to learn better ways of doing some of our household chores. I have no desire to become a professional carpet cleaner, but if I can clean it myself at least some of the time, then that will help our budget a lot.
So since I have learned so much lately about carpet cleaning, and have been getting pretty good results I wanted to share some tips with you that I picked up that will save you some time and money too.
Get Your Own Wet-Vac if You Have Pets:
This seems like a no-brainer, but I didn't even think of it for a long time. For $100 or less you can pick up a great wet type vacuum cleaner that can suck up even the smelliest dog pee. The device that we have heats up the water in a matter of 20 seconds and is ready to go.
And it really has a quite powerful motor that sucks up all of the nasty sludge and water and soapy solution, so it works very well. I've noticed that if I can get to the stain immediately, then it seems to get up more of the stain. For the most part, deep pet stains have to come out with professional carpet cleaning services, so if there is a lot of dog or cat urine on the floor a DIY approach may not be much help.
That's because the stinky urine seeps down into the carpet pads, and if that happens there is actually not much anybody can do. The professional carpet guys have much stronger equipment though, and so in a situation where you have build up, it is better to consult with them.
If you feel that you need professional carpet cleaners in Reno NV then you have quite a few choices if you happen to live in the area. My favorite company is locally owned, and has a really friendly staff that will not only do you a great service, but will also answer any of your questions and treat your fairly.
For those occasions when you don't need the pro's there are plenty of things you can do to keep your carpet looking and smelling great, but in a pinch just call Northern Nevada's #1 carpet cleaning company - alloutcompletecarpetcare.com
