What can I do to control the bad smell of my carpet?
To remove bad odors, professionals from Carpet Cleaning Hercules suggest that you put some baking soda in the bag of your vacuum cleaner. Use the vacuum cleaner as usual, taking time in clearing out as much dirt and dust as possible. Keep an eye also for spots and stains which are common concerns when cleaning carpets aside from the bad smell.
When do I use a beater bar or rotating brush in area rugs?
Use these at the back to suction the ground-in dirt. This will help push the dirt up so it will be easier to suction it from the front side. If the fiber of your rug is not too fragile, you can use the beater bar and rotating brush even on the front. Without proper care and maintenance, your area rug, would look bad. To keep it looking fresh, it needs regular vacuum cleaning.
Can I vacuum all types of carpets?
The truth is that vacuum cleaners are not appropriate for all types of carpets. You can use them on carpets made by synthetic materials but you must be very careful with handmade oriental rugs. Specialists of Carpet Cleaning Hercules recommend gentle movements when you are vacuuming handmade rugs. In fact, silk rugs have extremely sensitive piles and it would be best if you brush them gently instead of vacuuming them. They won't be harmed.
What is the difference between ecological cleaning products and chlorine dioxide products?
These two elements can remove dirt and grease effectively. But the difference between them is the content they used. Chlorine dioxide use strong and harmful substances to remove dirt, while ecological cleaning products use strong but not harmful substances. Professional cleaners use ecological cleaning products because they are environmentally-friendly.
Should I clean upholstery and carpets together?
It's an excellent idea, especially if you have children and/or pets. Since both carpets and upholstery collect dust, get dirty and are often stained, by cleaning them both at the same time you refresh the indoor environment in one day. Don't forget that dust is all around. If you clean upholstery but not the carpets, the dust from carpets will soon land on the upholstery.
Are shaking and beating effective techniques for cleaning rugs?
Yes, they work quite well. You can shake and beat smaller rugs on a regular basis along with vacuuming. Both techniques assist in removing large amounts of dust and dirt. They are ideal for refreshing the rugs. At the same time, they cannot replace deep cleaning which is recommended once a year.
