DIY or Hire a Professional?
Choosing A Carpet Cleaning Method
From trapped pollutants, dust mites, and all those little (and big!) stains, it’s no secret that your carpets will eventually need to be cleaned (experts recommend at least one time a year). But when do you do it yourself and when do you hire a professional? Below, we discuss the pros and cons of buying or renting your own carpet cleaner versus hiring a professional.
DIY Carpet Cleaning
We are all about DIY at Artistic Cleaners (have you seen all the spot treatment tips and tricks on our blog?!) We believe that having a small machine at home for quick cleanups, especially if you have a household prone to little accidents from kids or pets, is a great idea! It gets those unexpected “oops” moments taken care of quickly without the need to schedule an appointment and we understand how cost-effective it can be. If cost is a primary concern, consider options such as only doing high traffic areas or cleaning around furniture.
Professional Carpet Cleaning
Now, while you may be saving your hard-earned dollars by buying or renting a machine, your time is very valuable, and if you’re looking to clean a few rooms or even an entire home, the time you invest will be much higher than if you were to hire a professional. And don’t forget all the maintenance of keeping a machine in your home: storing and cleaning the tank, the hose, and the brushes after every use! When you hire professional carpet cleaners, they do all the dirty work for you. You get to enjoy the end result, no work required!
Speaking of the professionals, they have cleaning machines that are considerably more powerful than any at-home machine you can buy or rent from the store. This will enable a technician to extract water (and therefore dirt and debris) more efficiently with shorter drying time, preventing the growth of mold. Professional cleaning machines will also heat the water temperature quite a bit higher than an at-home machine which results in a more effective cleaning in your home.
At Artistic Cleaners, we offer different cleaning services and solutions for residential and commercial properties. Our goal is to provide clients with excellent customer service as well as provide a superior carpet cleaning service.
