Carpet cleaning in Prescott: Should you have a professional steam clean your carpet or can you do it yourself?

Carpet cleaning can be quite a chore at times and not very fun to do... BUT to keep your carpets lasting for a long time it is important to clean them annually. One of the most effective ways to clean your carpet is steam cleaning. You might think steam cleaning is a task you could do by yourself. ServiceMaster would like to share some reasons why it might be more practical to have a professional clean your carpet in the long run.


Professionals have powerful machines not available to the public

While you could rent a steam machine from your local grocery store, or buy one of the many domestic cleaning available, it will not have the power that a commercial steam system and should be limited to common spills and accidents. Professionals will have both a industrial strength truck-mounted unit and/or a portable one. Allowing them to clean any home at max efficiency.


The Risks of doing it yourself.

Domestic machines do not have the ability to heat the water to the same high temperatures that professional machines can. This would result in less effective cleaning and would extract less dirt because of it. If done correctly, a carpet should only be slightly damp. If a carpet is still soggy after a cleaning, this would make your carpet a breeding ground for mold and needs to be dried as soon as possible. A wet carpet means indicates that the machine was not powerful enough to clean the carpet properly.

Other factors that fit into the equation is what chemicals used will also dictate how well the carpet is cleaned. In the long run, you might waste money trying to clean it yourself and then in the end have to hire a professional to clean it a second time
