Will you be happy with your
carpet after it’s cleaned?
While carpet cleaning
may seem like a simple
task that requires little
training, several fac
tors come into play that
can make a big differ
ence in how your car
pet looks after clean
ing. When you choose
a company who under
stands your carpet, you
will get better results.
There are no Easy
Answers--Some of
the most common
questions people ask
about carpet clean
ing includes, “Will
the spots come
back?”, “Will the dents
from the furniture come
out?”, “Will the traffic
areas look better after
it’s done?”, and “Will
these stains come out?”
The answer to these
and other questions
requires knowledge and
experience. Carpet can
be made with a variety
of fibers, each having
its own cleaning char
acteristics. In addition,
every fiber handles
traffic and wear in
its own unique way.
Some soils that
are easy to remove
from one carpet
may permanently stain
another.
Then there is the con
struction of the carpet.
Loop pile, frieze, shag,
saxony, velvet plush
- all of these styles
will respond to traf
fic in different ways.
The quality and den
sity of the cushion is
another factor. Even
the unique way the
pile yarns are twisted
and how tightly packed
they are in the car
pet backing makes a
difference in wearabil
ity andcleanability.
An experienced
cleaner will assess
the condition of your
carpet, asking: What is
the age of the carpet?
How was it cleaned
in the past, and how
often? Was protec
tor applied during the
last cleaning? How old
are the spots, spills and
stains, and have you
tried anything to
clean them? With all
of these variables,
how can we possibly
know what to expect
from a carpet clean
ing? Unfortunately, it’s
not an exact sci
ence. BUT there are
some things expe
rienced cleaners
know about carpet,
fibers, soil and stains
that give them a clue
as to what they can
anticipate from the
cleaning process.
Perhaps the most
important consider
ation is the type of
fiber. Just because they
are all soft and fluffy
does not mean they
are all the same. An
experienced cleaner
is trained to iden
tify types of fibers and
use their knowledge of
that fiber’s characteris
tics to anticipate poten
tial challenges.
Here are a few exam
ples:
• If a carpet is wool
you know that it has
excellent resilience, so
those crushed traffic
areas and furniture
indentations have a
good chance of coming
out. But wool is more
easily stained by pro
teins than other fibers,
so some foods, pet
urine and other protein
sources like blood will
be difficult to remove.
• Olefin carpets do
not have the resiliency
of wool, so high traf
fic areas tend to pack
down and lose that
fluffy texture over
time. However, Olefin
has excelent stain-
resistance and color
fastness.
• Stain-resist nylon
has excellent resil
ience and good stain
and soil repellency,
so carpets made with
nylon tend to be the
best overall perform
ers. However, depend
ing on how the fiber
was dyed, Nylon
may be bleached by
some household chemi
cals or sunlight.
• Polyester fibers
have an affinity for
oily soils, so food or
petroleum grease spots
will be more difficult to
remove. But Polyester,
like Olefin, is very
resistant to stains and
bleaching.
The bottom line is
that how the carpet
looks after cleaning
will depend on some
factors out of our
control. But you can
be assured Carpet
Cure will produce the
best results you can
get when we clean your
carpets.
