Homeowners should invest in professional carpet cleaning annually — or more, depending on the flooring material and amount of traffic in each room. Some may consider doing it themselves, but hiring an expert comes with various benefits. Here, you’ll learn how a knowledgeable team can preserve your beautiful flooring.

Why You Should Skip DIY Carpet Cleaning & Hire a Professional

1. Efficiency

People who DIY-clean their carpets will take longer than a well-trained, experienced cleaning crew. This is because they have likely never used the necessary tools and will be working alone. Professionals will be much faster, as they’ve been trained in carpet cleaning and understand the process for maximum efficiency.

2. Cost

If you try to tackle carpet cleaning alone, you’ll need to rent special equipment like a steamer. This will cost you an hourly fee. You may also need big fans to ensure that your flooring dries, adding to your total cost by several hundred dollars. If you hire a carpet cleaning team instead, you’ll likely spend less money and earn a better return on your investment.

3. Carpet Care

You may not clean your carpet properly and damage the flooring unknowingly. For example, if you don’t dry it correctly, the material can grow mold. Also, if you don’t work with the natural grain of the carpet, or set your steam machine on the incorrect setting, you may damage the fibers. Professionals, on the other hand, will know exactly how to clean the carpet quickly and correctly while making it look and smell great.
