CA Carpet Cleaning & Water Damage Clean Up Lists Mistakes People Make When Cleaning Their Carpets
Waiting Too Long to Treat the Carpet Stain: The biggest mistake that many people make when it comes to cleaning a stain on the carpet is thinking they will get to it later. The stains are a problem in many instances such as a kid dropping their food, tripping with a cup of coffee in your hand or any number of problems. Most of the times the spill happens to occur when you just don’t seem to have time to deal with it. You might end up leaving for the day and thinking you can come back later to get it. The problem is that the longer just about any spill is left on the carpet the more it will set in. As it sets in the stain will get harder and harder to actually treat and remove.
Store Bought Carpet Cleaner Sprays: Another mistake that people seem to make when they are trying to clean stains on the carpet is going to the store and buying store bought carpet cleaners. The cleaners that you will find in the store are not ones that typically will do a good job when you use them on your carpet. They are chock full of chemicals that can damage the carpet and leave a residue behind that will cause your carpet to actually become dirtier. The better option is to look into what products you have in your home that you can use as cleaners. It might surprise you to know that there are many options you have in your cupboards such as baking soda, dish detergent and more. It’s also important to rinse the area after to remove the original stain and the cleaners used to treat it.
Skipping Carpet Cleaning: Lastly you want to make sure that you schedule your professional carpet cleaning. This is a great way to have your carpets cleaned and that makes it much easier to clean a stain when it does occur.
