To use Dry or Wet Carpet Cleaning

To use Dry or Wet Carpet Cleaning

By Jason Wall - SKHomes4sale.com and Athomecanada.com

Everyone needs to clean their carpets. When you decide, you will have several options. Do you hire someone? Do you do it yourself? Or…is it just time to replace your carpet. Hiring someone and replacing your carpets are not a cheap option. Cleaning your carpets yourself is an inexpensive option.

If you decide to do it yourself, you will still have two options. Do you go wet or dry carpet cleaning? Wet carpet cleaning takes forever to dry and it is messy. I had a cousin that owned a carpet cleaning company and it was a dry way of cleaning your carpet and there was no drying time.

You can rent the equipment. Check your local Yellow Pages under Host Dry Carpet Cleaning. You should be able to pick one up at either a vacuum supply store or at a home improvement store. Call around first to check. The Host Dry Carpet cleaning system uses an environmentally friendly compound, so you will need to get that as well. To clean the higher soiled area you will need a bottle of pre-spray. The rental place should have all this for you.

So you have rented the Host system. Now what? You first start by vacuuming your carpet. The better the vacuum you use the better. Once you are done the vacuuming you will need to use the pre-spray. Spray on all the spots and soiled areas in your carpet. Then, sprinkle the environmentally friendly compound on the carpet and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a 10’ x 10’ area. The Host machine will have two reverse rotating brushes. They will work the compound into the carpet and the compound will work the dirt and must out of the carpet. Once you are done let the compound sit and move onto another room or another 10’ x 10’ area. Do all the carpet areas in your home and then go back to the first area you did and vacuum the compound up.

That’s it. Easy. And it can save you a lot of money.

If you dry-clean your carpets consistently, you will not need to get in a professional carpet cleaner in. If you don’t do it consistently and your carpets are very soiled, you may wish to get a professional at first and then do it yourself after that.

I hope this was of help to you.
