Everyone I know has an opinion on carpet cleaning, most are differing and a lot are just completely crazy.  One person told me the best way to clean a carpet is with a mix of vinegar and toothpaste.   ???

Add some bleach and you’ve got a mustard gas surprise.  But seriously???

What we do know is most house hold items are not conducive to good carpet cleaning, so all the old wive’s tales and urban myths will not not stack up if you’re game to try them.

Steam Cleaning is by far and away the single most effective method of removing any carpet’s dirt.

What we know for sure is that by continuously applying hot water and cleaning solution to a carpet and remove it almost instantaneously is that we will likely remove whatever is in there.

This isn’t guess work, it’s built on sound technological principles employed by hundreds of thousands of carpets cleaners over decades of knowledge accumulation.

 

Gold Coast Steam Cleaning

If you live on the coast, my opinion is hire a gold coast steam cleaner.  Whether this means you go to Woolies and hire one of those carpet machines and do it yourself, or you employ a professional to come and do it for you, steam cleaning works.

There are some good professional carpet cleaners on the gold coast like Kleen Dry, As New and Chem-Dry, so your options are not limited.

Truck mounted steam cleaners are superior to the machines that are portable as they have a lot more power to add both heat and to suck the water with greater force, leaving the carpet much drier than conventional steam cleaning.

This is called the high powered hot water extraction method and it really is superior in its ability to give a thorough clean and a drier finish.

 

Gold Coast Carpet Cleaner Secrets

Here’s something you probably don’t know and that is that carpet cleaners get a lot of work from referrals.  What this means to you is that you can often strike up a deal with them.

A lady I know is a big social person and has a lot of clout when it comes to recommending products so when she recommends a carpet cleaner, that business gets a lot of work and for that they usually give her a free clean.

Most will have a minimum like ten referrals, but if you are as they say, in the know, then you could definitely refer ten or more clients and get your carpet cleaned for free, which sounds pretty good.

Another little gem is rugs.

If you ask the carpet cleaner to clean a rug or 2 for free, they will probably be happy to oblige, so it’s worth asking. Just don’t roll out a rug the size of a small room, because that’s probably pushing the friendship.

Just remember a good carpet cleaner’s solutions cost a pretty penny and they can not afford to be giving them away willy nilly.

A one metre by two metre rug or mat will probably be your limit so be mindful, also bear in mind that if the carpet cleaner is an employee and not the owner, they may not be as obliging to give away their bosses chemicals so readily, but then it could be the complete opposite.  Did that help?

In conclusion, steam cleaning works better, truck mounted high power hot water extraction units are best and if you’re cheeky enough, get a couple of mats cleaned for free using the power of asking, after all you never know until you ask right?

Wishing you a clean carpet and a Merry Christmas
