Is Carpet Cleaning A Wet Dry Confusion?

What is a wet-dry vacuum cleaner? It is a machine that picks up both dry stuff and wet stuff. Yes, that’s right; you can pick up both dry and loose dirt and liquid spills from almost any kind of surface. Your carpets hold on to many stubborn stains and soil, bacteria and even mold and mildew. Before you make up your mind to clean your carpet with any liquid detergent or a soapy solution, prepare yourself for a carpet drying marathon. There are many carpet cleaning DC companies in Washington DC that make use of the dry wet vacuum cleaners frequently to ensure that your carpets are spotless and odor free.

How Do Professional Carpet Cleaners Prepare Your Carpet For Wet And Dry Vacuuming?

• Removing the furniture from the room so it doesn’t get damp is the first step. Damp furniture is very prone to mold.
• Then comes the vacuuming of your dry carpet and for this purpose the professional carpet cleaning crew would use either a wet-dry vac or their usual vacuum cleaner. They will use it to remove all the solid soil from your carpet.
• If you have stains in your carpet, they’ll apply a high quality carpet stain remover and wait for it to dissolve and break down the stain so that it can be removed safely without affecting the fibers.
• Next comes preparing a consistent solution of carpet cleaner and water, the directions for mixing which are known to the experts.
• Now just to be clear, their wet-dry vacs will only pick up wet solutions. They are not used to disperse the liquid evenly over your carpet, so you will have to do this manually.
• After spreading the solution on the entire carpet, the professionals will use a push broom or a deck brush to work it deeper into the fibers.

Pet Smell Issues – Clean Your Carpets Like the Professionals

With pets comes a lot of pee and I mean a lot of it. This happens frequently with many families. If you too are one of those residents in Washington DC, chances are you’ve faced this issue not once but many times ever since you decided to let that little furry friend of yours be a part of your family. But did we say there’s any need to panic? No, we didn’t, and we never will because there is always a way to get this problem out of your hair or rather your carpet fibers.

Now, if you ask a professional carpet cleaning DC company in Washington DC, there are several methods of dog urine removal. Many of them would suit your needs just fine and would even help you get rid of the distinctive odor that it creates.

 

Potty Training for the Pet
This is the first step that you need to take and it is very important if you want to maintain the beauty and texture of your beautiful carpets and rugs for years. This is a preventive measure and if you go about it right from the start, you will witness much less “mishaps” and “spills.” Yes, the right way is to train your pups from the beginning as to where to relieve themselves and specifically where NOT TO. Vets and animal trainers suggest you do that from the very start so that as they grow up, this habit becomes a part of their life and in turn your life becomes much easier.

How to Clean Dog Urine
Let’s assume that like so many other families in DC, you too have failed to cultivate this habit in your pet, what do you do now? No time to call a professional carpet cleaning company? I get it. Start with blotting out as much liquid as you can with towels.

Another thing to do is pour a mixture of dish detergent and water on the affected area. Then place a clean towel over it and simply step on it so that the cloth absorbs as much urine as possible.

 

Forgot To Clean Or Didn’t Notice The Spot Earlier?
Don’t worry. All you have to do is sprinkle that spot of the carpet with some baking soda (or a mixture of it in water) and just let it sit overnight. The patch is going to dry up by morning and then pray it with distilled white vinegar. Let the bubbling happen, that’s just the cleaning in progress. Wait for it to settle down and then rinse or wipe the area clean with a towel.

Removing Dog Urine Smell from Carpets
For such odors and smells you can rely on professionals for choosing the best green enzymatic cleaners available in the market. They will also tackle all older and more stubborn stains and you will never find out where the spot was once they are done reviving your carpets. The bottom line is that you don’t have to lift a finger when you have a trusted carpet cleaning brand in Carpet Cleaning Washington DC by your side.

Can Your Carpets Repel Stains?

Is that even possible? Can your carpets and rugs actually repel stains and spills? Would it be finally feasible for you to cut down on your Carpet Cleaning DC expenses in Washington DC? Before we delve further let’s understand what it is actually.

Stain Resistance
You can describe your carpet as having “stain resistance” when its fibers repel any kind of spills and liquids. This is to say that there is a significant delay in or most probably no absorption of liquids or spills or stains of any kind. This means all your wool and certain polyester carpeting are actually paying off.

Stain Treatment
This is an entirely different concept on the other hand. You can opt for a stain treatment for all your expensive carpets and rugs. A spray can be applied to your carpets, rugs and mats that coats their fibers and makes them stain resistant.

Keeping Your Carpets Clean
Well, the ideal way to keep your carpets clean in the first place is to keep your house clean and don’t let any loose dirt and soil get near the carpet. Maintain strict hygiene in your home. Cleaning once a month is enough to ensure that no dirt and allergens settle in your beautiful carpets.
And of course avoid any and all kinds of spills at all costs. Keep liquids, oils, lotions, fruits and all other staining edible items and everything that threatens the beauty of your carpets away from them and you are sorted. Seems like an impossible task right? Well it kind of is and I don’t blame you.

Easy Way Out?
Like I said opt for stain repellant carpets and rugs that delay and/or avoid absorption of liquids and stains into their fibers. And if you are not able to find the right material anywhere in Carpet Cleaning Washington DC, you can always count on the services of the leading carpet cleaning companies in the city. They are professional, affordable, and deliver more than satisfactory results every time.
