Routine carpet cleaning not only keeps your floors looking great, but it also prevents health problems by removing dust, pet dander, and dirt. While vacuuming is helpful, having your floors cleaned by a professional ensures a thorough job. The team at Superior Carpet Care in Texarkana, TX, answers some of the most common questions they receive about the process.

Carpet Cleaning FAQs

Is There a Difference Between Steam & Deep Cleaning?

Yes! Steam cleaners rely on steam to clean a variety of flooring surfaces, but they can damage carpet fibers and contribute to premature wear. Deep-cleaning machines use a mixture of hot water and cleaning solution to reach down into the fibers and extract all contaminants safely.

How Often Should My Carpets Be Professionally Cleaned?

Professional carpet cleaning is generally recommended on an annual basis to prevent early wear and tear. Semi-annual cleanings might be required, depending on factors such as young children and pets. If someone in your house has allergies, you may need cleaning on a more regular schedule.

Will My Carpet Take a Long Time to Dry?

The length of the drying process after a deep cleaning depends on the type of carpet and the underlying pad thickness. The amount of dirt and dust as well as the cleaning technique used also play roles in drying time, though most carpets take 24 hours or less. Opening windows and using fans speeds up the process.

I Am Concerned About Chemical Use. Are Alternatives Available?

Many carpet cleaning services use non-toxic solutions. Green cleaning methods do not harm the environment or contribute to polluted indoor air. They also do not affect children who often spend time playing on the ground, or pets who walk across flooring before licking their paws.
