Carpet Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions:

How much time will it take to do my carpet cleaning?

A. Take around 60 to 90 minutes to clean the carpets in a typical home.

Why is it recommended to keep your carpets and upholstery cleaned regularly?

A.  Vacuuming carpets removes the surface dirt and contaminants and gives them a fresher look. However, the carpet fibres become soiled with ground-in dirt and oils from daily life, spills, children, pets, and other causes. If left undisturbed, these contaminants affect not only the appearance of your carpet. Also, they cause it to wear out faster. Most importantly, they can pose health risks, especially to people with allergies or asthma and small children.

Spending ample time on the floor, the best approach to promote a healthier home involves augmenting your regular vacuuming routine with professional cleanings like Steam n Dry Carpet Cleaning Auckland Services. Their thorough methods delve deep beneath the surface, eliminating hidden contaminants that evade the naked eye.

Carpet Cleaning FAQs. Does water damage my carpet?

A. Yes! Water can damage your carpet, especially if left wet for an extended period. Water can cause mould growth, weaken carpet fibres, and lead to unpleasant odours. Promptly addressing wet carpets and drying them thoroughly is essential to prevent damage.

The method used by Steam ‘n’ Dry Carpet Cleaning Auckland removes 95% of the little water with our truck mount industrial-strength vacuum. Furthermore, it’s the carpet cleaning method that most carpet manufacturers suggest.

How often should I have my carpets cleaned?

A. Regular carpet cleaning is essential for asthma, allergies, or other health issues. Also, the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification IICRC recommends a professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Thus, it depends on the level of soiling and whether there are children or pets inside the premises.

Carpet Cleaning FAQs. How much time will it take for my carpet cleaning to dry?

Humidity levels determine drying time, airflow to the rooms cleaned, and the type of carpet. Therefore, turning on your air conditioning or heating system (depending on the time of year and location) will help speed up the drying process.

FAQs. Does carpet cleaning make it soil faster?

A. The issue arises from residues of cleaning chemicals left in carpet fibres by standard cleaners. These residues act as magnets for dirt, leading to persistent soiling. However, Steam ‘n’ Dry Carpet Cleaning Auckland utilizes proprietary methods that ensure thorough rinsing of cleaning agents from the carpet, preventing dirt attraction and maintaining cleaner carpets.

FAQs. How much time do I have to wait to permit my children or pets to the cleaned carpets?

A. After the cleaning, carpets can be washed and used with clean feet or indoor shoes. However, Steam ‘n’ Dry Carpet Cleaning Auckland advises limiting activity to foot traffic until the carpet is completely dry.

How long does it take for the carpets to dry?

A. With the hot water extraction method (steam cleaning), drying time is minimal and depends on the following factors:

• Type of carpet material, weave, and pile
• Level of soil
• Air circulation in the home
• Humidity levels

FAQs. How do you guarantee customer satisfaction?
