What You Should Know
It’s easy to think that the only reason you need your carpet clean is so it looks nice, right? That is certainly one reason to schedule regular carpet cleaning; however, it’s important to remember that carpet cleaning is also an investment in your health.
Carpets, whether in your home or in your office, can quickly collect dirt, bacteria, dust mites and allergens. Though not always visible on the surface, these contaminants can actually pollute the indoor air quality (IAQ) that you breathe every day. Carpets that often appear clean may, in fact, be much dirtier than you think!
Think of your carpet as a type of air filter in your home. When things like dust, dirt, bacteria and dust mites collect on your carpet, in time you will start to breathe in that buildup. Merely using household carpet cleaners to remove dirt and spills is not enough to ensure the air you’re breathing is as clean as possible.
By investing in services like FERMAR Maintenance carpet cleaning, you can rest assured that our commercial grade, advanced equipment will give your carpets the deepest and most thorough cleaning possible.
Things To Ask Before Hiring A Carpet Cleaner
Many carpet cleaning companies focus on the surface with a quick clean that won’t remove stubborn dirt and soil. Make sure to ask these questions upon hiring your next carpet cleaner!
1. Do you offer free estimates?
Make sure your next contractor offers you a free estimate for your project. Carpet cleaning is charged by the square foot. With so many competitors, we encourage people to get two or three estimates so that they are comfortable with their decision.
2. What carpet cleaning method do you use?
Use a steam cleaner, or hot water extraction. It is the recommended carpet cleaning method by the majority of carpet manufacturers.
3. Are you bonded and insured?
Improper use of chemicals or carpet cleaner could ruin your carpets, so make sure a carpet cleaning company has bonding and insurance. Townshend recommends requesting to see proof of insurance from the company. He also advises pointing out areas of concern with your carpet cleaner upfront.
4. How long will it take for my carpet to dry?
Ask your contractor how long your floor will take to dry. Due to many variables such as fiber type, floor type and humidity, it may take your carpet anywhere from 12 to 36 hours to dry. However, there are ways to shorten the drying time, such as opening windows, using fans or turning up the heat in the winter. Many carpet cleaning services also provide booties to wear so you don’t have to leave the home while the carpet is being cleaned.
5. Is your work guaranteed?
Guarantees are pretty common in the carpet-cleaning business but can come with different conditions, so be sure to ask upfront.
