Carpet Cleaning For Homes Overview

By Joanne Anderson

Many Carpet Cleaning companies have natural products and equipment that provide excellent cleaning results. These companies are often the first choice for individuals who are concerned about the impact of chemicals on the environment.

Many Carpet Cleaning companies today use environmental friendly cleaning agents as part of their regular business practice. They have included equipment that will bring about the best effects using non-chemical cleaners on home carpets.

For many years companies used products that were very toxic to individuals and animals that were sensitive to harsh chemicals. In many cases the chemicals that were used to clean the carpets would damage the fibers of a carpet and eventually dissolve the fibers.

When carpets have been cleaned using toxic chemicals there are residual chemicals left in the carpet and fumes in the air of a home. These fumes may remain long after the carpet has dried. For individuals who have a sensitivity to the fumes and residue there can be long term and chronic illnesses that result when the person is in the home.

Many Carpet Cleaning companies now use products that are plant based instead of chemical based. These products do not produce the noxious fumes of chemical cleaners and do not impact the fibers of most carpets.

Among the most popular products used by these companies is a method which incorporates the use of carbonated bubbles that are forced into the carpet using special equipment. This method of cleaning also uses less water than other products used for Carpet Cleaning.

When it is necessary to clean liquid or stains from a carpet between one's regular Carpet Cleaning service there are many home products that will meet the needs of an individual. These products can be found in one's kitchen and are easily accessible.

When individuals choose natural methods to spot clean carpets they usually find that they already have the necessary ingredients on hand. For wine stains on a carpet, blotting the area from the outer rim inwards with club soda will remove most of the stain. By following this with a mild detergent and water solution the stain can be removed.

The components in vinegar allow it to remove many odors. Many people use vinegar and water solutions when mopping their floors because it leaves a floor clean smelling and fresh. This same solution is an effective stain remover for Carpet Cleaning. By blotting a vinegar and water solution on a stain one can remove most types of stains from carpets easily.

Pouring salt on a wet spot on a carpet will cause the liquid to be absorbed in the salt and, after drying, the salt can be vacuumed up. If there is a residual stain left one can use the vinegar and water solution to blot the area and remove any staining that has been left.

A solution of hydrogen peroxide and water will be effective on stubborn stains. However it is important to test this solution on a small spot of carpet prior to applying to a stain because it may remove the color from an older or wool carpet.

In some instances it will be necessary to have a Carpet Cleaning company come and do an early cleaning of the home carpet. The company will have more products and equipment available to remove tough stains and in some cases this is the only alternative for stains that resist removal using regular home products. - 30229
