Is It Worth Getting Carpet Cleaned Professionally In Home

Over my ix -x years of blogging, I have gotten SO many questions regarding carpeting… more than specifically:

1. How often we clean our carpets…

2. What tools we use to clean them…

3. If we rent a professional carpeting cleaner or endeavor to DIY…

Here are my quick answers:

1. I vacuum our carpets 2-3 times every week. I spot-treat as necessary. We get our carpets professionally deep cleaned once a year (or more if needed).

2. I take a Sanitaire vacuum and a Hoover canister vac (with all the attachments). I also accept a tin of spot handling I purchased from our carpet cleaners

three. We ALWAYS rent professionals to clean our carpets.

I know it might seem odd that my frugal, DIY cocky would want to pay someone else to clean our carpets every year… simply as I mentioned in this post, there are just some things Dave and I feel are worth paying the pros for — and rug cleaning is definitely on that listing!

Our carpet cleaner (TLC Carpeting Cleaning) is my parents' neighbour, so I grew up with his family and we e'er had him make clean our carpets. When Dave and I got married, it simply seemed normal to continue hiring him for our once-a-year rug deep cleaning needs.

Since then, we have faithfully had our carpets professionally cleaned each yr, despite the fact that I've been sent numerous in-dwelling carpet cleaners and steamers for review (I gave them all away).

Today, I'm sharing why!

1. Professional carpet cleaning is Then much faster.

We get our carpets cleaned once a twelvemonth (sometimes more than if we're doing lots of construction projects) and it takes LESS THAN 1 hour for him to clean all the carpet in our dwelling house — a large living room, stairs, ii good size bedrooms, and the landing area.

It'southward amazing!

In the two experiences I've had with using an in-home rug "steamer" or cleaner, it has taken me about an hour simply to get everything ready up and running. Non to mention the time it takes to continually empty out the dirty water and replace information technology with clean water.

We exercise ordinarily move almost all the furniture in the rooms (besides the beds and couches) so information technology'south easy for him to make clean without stopping to move more furniture, but fifty-fifty still, there's no manner I could come shut to cleaning all our carpets in less than an hour — it would probably have me the better office of a weekend if I were doing it with an in-domicile unit!

2. Professional carpeting cleaning is And then much more powerful.

If y'all've ever had your carpets professionally cleaned, you know how loud it can be if you lot're out past their truck/van. The motors are then powerful — it's really not fifty-fifty comparable to using whatever sort of DIY cleaning unit.

Nosotros've gotten big stains in our carpet that I COULD Non Go OUT… simply to accept our carpet cleaner come and have the carpet looking like new again in ten minutes.

Seriously, Nora one time dumped an entire canteen of Kitchen Boutonniere on our light colored rug. I tried 10 dissimilar things to go that stain out… then I contacted our carpet cleaners and it completely "disappeared" like magic. That was six years ago and the stain has never come back!

3. Professional carpet cleaning gives me And then much more than peace of mind.

I've always had a "affair" for muddied carpets, which is probably why we've chosen to go with mostly difficult flooring on the main floor in our home.

I CANNOT stand dirty carpets… especially with fiddling babies crawling and laying on the carpets (which we've had for the last 7 years).

I vacuum regularly (2-3 times per week), we don't wear shoes inside, we don't accept pets, and nosotros rarely eat anything in carpeted areas. Even still, there is then much dust, man hair, dead peel cells,  little bugs, etc. that tin can get embedded into our carpet fibers on a daily basis — just from normal life.

Knowing nosotros get all our carpets thoroughly deep cleaned by a professional person every twelvemonth gives me a little more peace of mind… and yes, I know this is just my own weird carpet bug, but truly, our carpeting looks and feels brand new every fourth dimension we get them cleaned.

.

Having your carpets professionally deep cleaned probably isn't as expensive equally you  might remember either.

I've chosen around to a few local companies (mainly for research on this post!) and we could go all the carpets in our home cleaned for less than $300.

Because the amount of time, effort, and sanity this saves me — and the fact that it's only a once-a-twelvemonth expense for our domicile makes it more worth it in my stance.

Less than $1 a day for professionally cleaned carpets? Yes please!

I know this is just a personal preference for me… not the "only" manner of doing things. I have friends who adopt to use their in-home carpet cleaners on a monthly basis (or weekly when necessary!) — and that IS a perk of owning your own unit. I only know I personally wouldn't take the time to get my steamer/cleaner out that regularly, and then past the time I got around to cleaning the carpets on my own, they'd be extra dirty and it would take me fifty-fifty longer.

My goal for this post is not to say every person should pay to take their carpets professionally cleaned, but rather to share what works for us and why nosotros choose to pay professionals for this chore… at present I can just refer all time to come carpet questioners to this mail service!
