4. Is it necessary to move furniture before the cleaning process?
Yes, it is generally necessary to move furniture before the carpet or sofa cleaning process for a few key reasons:
-
Thorough Cleaning: Removing furniture allows for a more thorough and even cleaning of the entire carpet or sofa surface. This ensures that no spots are missed and the cleaning is consistent across the area.
-
Protecting Furniture: Moving furniture prevents potential damage from cleaning solutions or moisture. Some cleaning agents or the moisture from the cleaning process might not be suitable for the furniture's material, potentially leading to staining or damage.
-
Drying Process: Removing furniture also aids in the drying process, ensuring better airflow around the cleaned area and preventing moisture from being trapped under or around the furniture.
-
Safety: Moving furniture out of the way reduces the risk of accidents or damage during the cleaning process, both for the cleaning personnel and the furniture itself.
However, there are a few considerations:
-
Heavy Items: Very heavy or large pieces of furniture might not be easy to move. In such cases, the cleaning can be done around them, or protective measures can be taken to safeguard them during the cleaning.
Before the arrival of our team, it’s advisable to remove smaller items and personal belongings from the area to be cleaned. We move sofas, chairs, tables, some cabinets. We try to clean as much of the area as possible.
3. How often should I have my carpets or sofa professionally cleaned?
The frequency of professional cleaning for carpets and sofas depends on several factors, such as usage, the presence of children and pets, allergies, and the type of carpet or upholstery material. Here are some general guidelines:
Carpets:
-
General Recommendations: For an average household, professional carpet cleaning is recommended every 12 to 18 months.
-
High Traffic or Pet Owners: If you have high foot traffic, pets, or children, you might need to clean your carpets more frequently, such as every 6 to 12 months.
-
Allergies: If someone in your home has allergies, more frequent cleaning can help to reduce allergens, such as dust mites and pet dander. In such cases, cleaning every 3 to 6 months might be advisable.
Sofas:
-
General Use: For regular use, professional sofa cleaning is typically recommended every 12 to 24 months.
-
Heavy Use or Pet Owners: If the sofa is heavily used or if you have pets, a more frequent cleaning schedule, like every 6 to 12 months, might be necessary.
-
Material Specifics: Some materials may require more frequent cleaning, especially lighter-colored fabrics or delicate materials.
It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and your cleaning needs may vary. Regular vacuuming and immediate attention to spills and stains can extend the time between professional cleanings. Also, always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for specific cleaning instructions based on the material of your carpet or sofa.
2. How long does it take to dry carpets and sofas after cleaning?
The drying time for carpets after cleaning can vary depending on several factors, but typically, it takes about 2 to 24 hours for carpets to dry completely after being professionally cleaned. However, this timeframe can be influenced by:
-
Airflow and Ventilation: Good airflow in the room can significantly reduce drying time. Opening windows or using fans or air conditioning can help in faster drying.
-
Humidity and Temperature: High humidity levels and lower temperatures can increase drying time, whereas lower humidity and higher temperatures usually speed up the drying process.
-
Carpet Thickness and Material: Thicker carpets and those made of certain materials can retain more moisture and take longer to dry.
-
Cleaning Method Used: Some cleaning methods use less water (e.g., encapsulation cleaning) and hence have shorter drying times compared to methods like hot water extraction.
To speed up the drying process, it's advisable to improve ventilation, use fans, dehumidifiers if available, and maintain a warm temperature in the room if possible. It's important to allow carpets to dry completely before walking on them or replacing furniture, to prevent re-soiling and to avoid damage to the carpet or furniture.
1. What method do we use to clean carpets and sofas?
Hot water extraction, often referred to as steam cleaning, is a popular and effective method for deep cleaning carpets and upholstery. Here's how it works:
-
Application of a Cleaning Solution: Initially, a cleaning agent is applied to the surface. This solution breaks down the dirt, grime, and stains.
-
Agitation: In some cases, the surface is agitated with a brush or a special machine to work the cleaning solution deeper into the fibers and ensure thorough cleaning.
-
Extraction: Finally, a powerful vacuum is used to extract using the hot water along with the dislodged dirt and cleaning solution. This step not only removes the dirt but also ensures that the majority of the water is removed from the carpet or upholstery, aiding in faster drying.
-
The effectiveness of hot water extraction lies in its ability to deeply clean fibers, removing not just surface dirt but also allergens, dust mites, and other microscopic pollutants. It's a preferred method for deep cleaning because it can reach the deep layers of the fibers, providing a thorough clean that's not just superficial.
This method is particularly beneficial for people with allergies or sensitivities as it can remove irritants and provide a healthier indoor environment. However, it does require professional equipment and expertise to ensure the best results and avoid potential issues like over-wetting or fabric damage.
