CARPET CLEANING

Domestic Carpet Cleaning

Domestic carpet cleaning is the most common type of professional service offered by our company since a lot of our clients are homeowners.

Domestic carpet cleaning entails cleaning of the following items such as:

• bedroom carpets
• staircase carpets
• hallway carpets
• living room carpets
• carpets found at the entrance of homes, often called the foyer or hallway.

Rugs and carpets are synonymous, so oftentimes they are used interchangeably. Nevertheless, whether you call it a carpet or a rug, our professional cleaner is still going to eliminate all the dirt and grime from its surface.

Our Goal

Our ultimate goal is to render excellent carpet cleaning service to you by removing build-up of soil on your carpet that leads to displeasing odor or completely unsafe living conditions. Our professional cleaners employ the use of a variation of cleaning tools and products to expunge dirt and stains from rugs/carpets that have become soiled over time. We use a variety of cleaning equipment and products because we understand that each job may require different tools based on the severity of soil stains or to provide additional protection. Additional sanitizing treatments may also be needed to help us eliminate allergens and bacteria from your carpets. If the need arises, we can put our focus on restoring the natural look of your carpets by removing spots.

Household Carpet Stains

We encounter several types of stains in domestic carpet cleaning and they can be categorized into three types:

• dry stains such as coffee, tea, wine
• wet stains such as soup, fruit juices or curry sauce, and
• grease stains like oil, which are more difficult to remove from carpets

Another method of categorization of these stains is by their characteristics:

• water stains like sweat or urine
• protein stains from blood or food, cheese, meat, milk,
• oil and fat stains such as droppings from cooking residues
• sugar or carbohydrate stains from berries or fruits
• grease stains which are more difficult to remove from carpets
• dry dirt and dust which will not do too much damage to your health

We can also categorize the stains based on the difficulty of removal, as follows:

• tough stains, into which stains such as blood, food and urine fall under
• difficult stains like grease and sweat
• moderate stains which contains stains from honey or lemon which are also difficult to remove
• easy stains like pollen, dust and sand.

Let us have a more detailed look at a few of these stains.

Pet Stains

A good number of pet owners know the mess and the smell that comes with owning a pet animal. Pet stains are usually as a result of faeces, urine, vomit, nasal discharge, hairballs from cats or earwax from dogs, birds, rabbits, hamsters and horses. We employ the use of specific products on the market to treat pet stains. Our carpet cleaning product choices may include urine or faeces smell removers, enzyme cleaners and/or professional smudge treatments. Oftentimes we remove urine stains by using an enzyme cleaner, which disintegrates uric acid (the element that causes urine odour). Enzymatic cleaners are efficient because they break down proteins found in urine, saliva and other bodily fluids. We are excellent at this.

Food Stains

Food stains can be from cereals such as cornflakes or semolina to jam like strawberry jam or plum preserve and sauces made with tomatoes. When we carry out spot treatment of these stains, our professional carpet cleaners usually use a dissolving agent and water, or a concentrated detergent mixed with lukewarm water.

Drink spills

Drinks including coffee, wine, tea, beer, fruit juice or other alcoholic beverages are bound to be overturned or dropped on your home carpets. For drink spills, our carpet cleaning smudge treatment may involve using a mixture of laundry bleach and water, or the application of an enzyme cleaner. Or in handling stubborn drink spill stains, we opt for the use of a special, pre-mixed drink stain remover.

Blood Stains

Blood is the most tedious stain to remove. There exists a possibility that the blood may have been there for a while before being discovered therefore leaving an established stain which is very hard to expunge completely without damage to the carpet fibres. Our professional carpet cleaner will have to identify the type of blood involved. He/She will then proceed to remove the stain with water and a detergent, based on what is necessary (concentrated hot or diluted warm water).

Ink spills

Ink spills fall into the dye stains category. For cleaning ink spills, our professional cleaner uses a solvent such as ethyl alcohol or acetone to remove and disintegrate the ink.

Moth damage on carpet

Carpet moth damage is brought about by the larvae of carpet moths feeding on the natural or synthetic fibers in the carpets. If we happen to encounter this in your case, our professional cleaners will use moth crystals to eliminate and prevent infestations from reoccurring. If it happens that the carpet fibers are ruined, we can use a special kit to mend and re-attach the fibers.

Soot and smoke from fires

Smoke and soot can be created from kitchen fires or actual building fires and these particles can settle on the carpets of your home. There are specific tools we can use to clean this type of damage.

Stains from families eating too much fruit

Fruit stains are possibly one of the most difficult stains to remove from carpets and upholstery. The stain comes from the acid in the fruit that actually eats away at the fibers of the carpet and it is not easy to extract, even for professional carpet cleaners. Professional companies like ours have special solutions for certain stains, this helps in complete and utter removal.

Importance of professional carpet cleaning

It is always in your best interest to call professional carpet cleaners like us for any type of stain removal. We have professionals who are well trained and equipped with the tools necessary to extract tough stains without spreading them across your carpets. This is not just self-serving, it is an important point, since the odour of pet urine or smoke from fire can remain for years if not treated properly by professional cleaners.
