Carpet Shampooer

If you had carpet installed throughout your home or even just in the bedrooms and living room, and you have invested in having soft and comfortable flooring to stay warm in winter, you will not want to let your carpets become overly soiled or lose their appeal by leaving stains or dust or moisture in the carpet fibers that deteriorate the look and feel of them.

If you also have carpet in the hallway or heavy traffic areas, or if you have very large area rugs that cannot be cleaned by shaking or washing in a machine you may be wondering how to care for your carpets and how to keep them clean so they will last as long as possible.

It is a fact that liquid shampoo carpet cleaning using a carpet shampoo machine that is often rented can cause more harm than good. What are your choices for carpet shampoo that will keep your carpets protected and fresh? There are only two choices: hire professional carpet shampooers or do it yourself.

Professional Carpet Shampooer

If you decide that a professional carpet cleaning service is right for you, how can you select the best carpet shampoo cleaners and the machines when you aren’t an expert?

To help you know a little about the equipment they use, here is a little background information on carpet shampooers and carpet shampoo machines.

Rotary Carpet Shampoo Machines and Liquid Detergents

Another method of carpet cleaning used by professional carpet shampooers is with a rotary shampoo machine. First the carpet is coated with a spray shampoo and then a rotating brush is used to turn the detergent mixture into foam.

These brushes that rotate over the carpet can cause the fibers to breakdown and make them more prone to getting dirty faster afterward. And since this method is not dry, there is the chance that the carpets may shrink or leave moisture trapped that causes mildew, mold and bad odors later on. Although many companies advertise that will pull out all the dirty grime in your carpet, they must have high powered machines and brushes that do not cause damage to the carpet fiber.
