Sharon asks…

Does anyone know of a quality carpet cleaning company in fremont?

Price is important but I would prefer a high quality job than simply a cheap price. After watching the segment on channel 7 about Premier Carpet Cleaning I decided just choosing the cheapest company over the phone can be extremely costly. Any recommendations?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

Coit Cleaners...not the cheapest due to their heavy advertising...watch your paper for coupons to help make up for that.

Nancy asks…

Carpet cleaning company questions - steam clean or dry clean?

I'm calling in a company to have my carpets cleaned. One place I called said they use the dry cleaning method. ??? I'm not familiar with that. Has anybody used it? I worry that it's even safe because I have pets and a new baby! That (dry cleaning method) sounds like too many chemicals to me. Anybody know? We had an older dog that peed on the floor and got sick often so they really need to be cleaned good!

Carpet Cleaner answers:

Steam cleaning is recommended by 99% of Carpet Mills

Most steam cleaning professionals do not leave any residue in the carpet. (make sure they are using a fiber rinse to confirm they are residue free)

Most dry cleaning methods do leave significant soap residues in the carpet causing rapid re-soiling. (none of the detergents, soaps & surfactants are rinsed and removed from the carpet when dry cleaning method is used.)

Steam cleaning does not get the backing or padding wet. It also will not mold or mildew the carpet. (it takes at least 72 hours of wet for mold to even think about growing)

Hint: Look for a steam cleaning company that dries in less than 8 hours and they will have very effective cleaning equipment.

Truck-Mounted units always should be used. They are a ton more powerful than portable equipment and will remove more soil and dry faster.

PET ODOR: Both dry and steam cleaning WILL NOT remove pet odor. Urine have salts that will not break down from water or carpet cleaning agents alone.

A blacklight and an enzyme such as Urine Off should be used prior to cleaning. At least 3 days before. Read directions at: http://www.urineoff.com.

ALWAYS USE AN IICRC CERTIFIED FIRM. SHAW, THE WORLD'S LARGEST FLOORING COMPANY, NOW REQUIRES THE USE OF AN IICRC CERTIFIED FIRM FOR WARRANTY CARPET CLEANING REQUIREMENTS!

Bacteria: Steam cleaning does not release bacteria into the air. If bacteria is present, most truck-mounted units will kill any because most operated at well over 200 degrees.

-MATT
IICRC CERTIFIED IN CARPET CLEANING & WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION

ONE MORE THING: It is very inexpensive to start a business doing the dry cleaning method. Usually less than $1000. To start a carpet cleaning business that uses the correct equipment it is $5,000 to $25,000 for the truck-mount. Another 5,000 or so for all of the cleaning accessories. And whatever it costs to buy a van. 2,000 to 35,000

What do you think cleans better?

A $5,000 to $25,000 Machine or a $500-$1000 Machine???

Robert asks…

Can anyone recommend a carpet cleaning company that does a great job in permanently removing pet urine stains?

We recently had to give away our cats due to urnine problems. We would like to get the carpet professionaly cleaned to permanently remove the cat urine stains. If someone can recommend a company that can do this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Your Questions About Carpet Extractors

Carpet Cleaner — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:06:30 +0000

Mandy asks…

What does self-contained and self-propelled mean in terms of carpet extractors?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

Self-contained means that the machine recycles the water and filters the dirt.
Self-propelled means that the wheels are driven by the engine and you do not have to push as hard.

Sandra asks…

What is the difference between carpet extractors and carpet cleaners? When should you use one over the other?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

I have 2 carpet cleaners, so to answer your question i would assume, one of mine flushes and sucks the water up and the other works on the notion that all debris has been lifted before use so just leaves a foam the slowly dissolves and takes marks and stains with it

Lizzie asks…

Heated vs Unheated carpet extractors?

I want to buy a carpet extractor to make a little side money, but I don't know whether to buy a heated or unheated machine. What is the difference? Which one will give me the best value for my money?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

Since you don't seem to know what your are doing, i suggest trying something else. If you do a bad job you won't have very many clients..

John asks…

Where can i buy Truckmount Carpet Extractors in Arizona?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

This link has a list of manufacturers and distributors of truck mount carpet cleaning machines and equipment

Ruth asks…

Does Stanley Steemer really get your carpet cleaner than other carpet extractors?

I used Stanley Steemer to clean our carpet right before Christmas and than had to get a rental and do it again after our dog had an accident last week. I've noticed that their service was nothing more than hype. Their equipment wasn't able to pick-up the dog hairs off the carpet and our carpet didn't look any cleaner or brighter.

I rented a commercial carpet extractor on base and done it myself the second time using hot water from the tub which was hot to the touch. It looked like the rental picked up more dog hair than Stanley Steemer and the carpet even looked brighter. The water looked really dirty as if I paid Stanley Steemer for nothing when they came by a month earlier to clean our carpet. Maybe their service isn't great in our area, but even if they were up to par will truck mounted units clean your carpet any better than comercial portable extractors as long as you do it at least once a year?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

The short answer is yes...the long answer is no. Most national carpet cleaners will get your carpet relatively clean, but unless they have a truck mounted extraction system, their equipment is no better than what you can rent.

If you have pet stains/odors...use a pro. If you use the wrong treatments on the carpet, it will set the stain, and possibly damage the underflooring.

Quiz your carpet cleaner....do they have a truck mounted system? Are they IICRC certified? What equipment do they use? Will the carpet be wet when they leave? Do they bring in fans? If you hear a bunch of no's...look elsewhere.

Lizzie asks…

What's the best way to clean carpet without having to buy/rent a machine?

I need to clean the carpet areas in my apartment (hallway, dining room, living room, bedroom) and will not be buying or renting a machine to do it. I'm a college student with limited money to spend on this. What's the best way to clean the area? Best product to use?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

You can clean your carpet with Spot Shot™. Spot Shot is a fantastic carpet cleaner that received a 4.80 Star Rating out of 5 (as of the last time I checked). That's a fantastic rating. It works great on carpets without scrubbing or vacuuming, although you do have to blot.

It sounds like you have a very large area to clean, so the job could be time-consuming. Maybe if you concentrate on just one area at a time, it won't seem so overwhelming.

You can buy Spot Shot at many hardware stores. (I saw it available at Aco.) You can also buy it on the Internet:

Helen asks…

What is the best machine to use inorder to get your carpet clean?

What wold you recommed to use, so far as product and or machine and the product you recommend.....does it work well?

Carpet Cleaner answers:

Whatever it is make sure that it has a heater to heat the water. Bissell is the way to go in my opinion

John asks…

I have a some pet stains on my berber carpet.What is the best way to clean it?Is it hard to get the stains out?

Its starting to smell and im going to rent a carpet cleaning machine.

Carpet Cleaner answers:

Load the cleaning machine with Nature's Miracle which you can get at pet stores and discounters. It has natural enzymes that digest the bacteria that cause both the stain and the odor. Using the carpet cleaning machine should enable you to get the solution deep enough into the padding to extract the stain from it so that you won't walk it up again later.
