Hiring Los Angeles Carpet Cleaners

Even if you pride yourself in keeping your home looking spick and span, the truth of the matter is that as long as you have carpeting, you will need to call in carpet cleaners at some point. This can include area rugs or wall to wall carpeting. You should call in your Los Angeles carpet cleaners at least once a year or once every year and a half. When hiring cleaners to do the job, it is in your best interest to hire professional cleaners or else the results will not be what you would like them to be. It is important to note that advertisements in the newspaper or on TV offering cheap pricing may not necessarily mean that the company offering the service is professional.

There are several things that a professional Los Angeles or Orange County carpet cleaning company will do. First, a representative will come and carry out an in-home thorough inspection to assess just how much work will need to be done. The company will then be able to give you a written quote of what the total cost for the job will be. The reason this must be done is because the cleaners want to assess just what it will take to get your carpets clean especially if you have kids, pets or a hobby that could have made your carpets dirty.

One of the things you want to consider and ask for is the company's certification for inspection, cleaning and restoration of carpets. If the employees are well trained and properly certified you will rest assured that they know what they are doing. Secondly, ask about the equipment that will be used to clean, especially if you have wall to wall carpeting. For this, the cleaners will need to bring a mounted truck that is able to offer more powerful vacuuming action while using plenty of freshwater to get all the dirt out.

Before the professionals can jump right in and clean, one of the things they will do is to dye test various spots on your carpet to ensure that the chemicals and soaps they use will not damage it. Once that has been confirmed, they will use hot water from the truck and soap. The carpeting in your home will then be thoroughly raked to ensure that the water and soap goes into the fibers as well as to loosen all the dirt. Once that has been sufficiently done they will then add some more hot water to rinse your carpet and then extract all the dirt and excess water using the very powerful vacuums that they have.

If you have a regular sized home, the process should only take 2.5 hours or so and another two to three hours to dry. A professional company will not likely charge you to move your furniture as cleaning is done. However, be sure to follow the cleaners' instructions carefully about when to put your furniture back on the carpet or you may find that the wood stains the carpet or that you damage your furniture.
