Carpet cleaning...

The carpets in your home or business represent a significant investment for you. To protect that investment and extend the life of your carpet you should have your carpets professionally cleaned at least every 12-18 months. Commercial premises with very high foot traffic should consider cleaning their carpets more often 2- 4 months. Regular cleaning of your carpet will not harm it unless of course the person doing the cleaning is not properly trained and making mistakes like over wetting or using too much solution or even the wrong solution for your carpet.

Carpets are exposed to dirt, pollen and other allergens, cigarette smoke and odours, mould, fungus, pet hairs, pet stains, dropped food and spilled drinks etc... Your carpets can look clean and still be a breeding ground for germs, bacteria and other micro organisms. Allow Allclean to restore the look, feel and hygiene of your carpets. Keeping your carpet clean prolongs its looks and of course the life expectancy. Walking on a dirty carpet causes much more wear than walking on a clean carpet. The reason for this is sharp edge particles are being worked into the carpet and begin rubbing like sandpaper causing the fibres of the carpet to deteriorate. Carpets are dirty long before they look dirty.

The best thing you can do for your carpet is to vacuum it frequently and correctly. If you have a family and pets you should vacuum the high traffic areas as least once a day. Correctly vacuuming your carpet is also very important;

  1. Always have the cleaner head set at the correct height for the carpet pile.
  2. Vacuum slow enough so that the suction of the cleaner can draw the soiling out of the carpet. Many people move the vacuum cleaner so fast across the carpet that the loose soiling and dust just doesn't make it up the hover and disperses itself back into the carpet pile.

You should get a fibre protector (i.e., Stain guard, Guardsman, Teflon etc...) applied to your carpets about once every 2 years. Cleaning your carpet dose not wash the protector off but it dose wear off in time. Applying a carpet protector makes cleaning much easier and builds up a resistance to many types of stains.

A question often asked

"What works better "dry" or "steam" cleaning?". The answer is, it all depends on the most important thing; the cleaner who is doing the cleaning for you, the method itself doesn't matter as all methods work great when used correctly and the right choice of cleaning for the appropriate situation is applied. If you or someone you know, was unhappy with a carpet cleaning job chances are the reason is the technician did a poor job not the method of cleaning that was used.
