Carpet Cleaning – Most Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Dry Carpets provides premium and affordable carpet cleaning services in Perth.

With carpet cleaning being such an essential and sought after service, our clients always have valuable questions for us. So to get you started with some basics, we’ve got some frequently asked questions for you.

How often should I clean my carpets?

Depending on where it is and how many people are walking over it, around every 6-12 months is a good timeframe. The same can be said about your upholstery – pieces that are being used frequently will need cleaning more often than decorative or lesser-used pieces. It can help to think of your carpet like you think of your clothes. Your clothes are made from the same material as carpet, you wash your clothes every day and yet many people will walk on their carpets every day and never have them cleaned.

Vacuuming is not enough, and it’s important to clean your carpets through professional cleaning to keep them in good condition and keep your home healthy.

What’s the difference between carpet steam cleaning and dry carpet cleaning?

Steam cleaning and dry cleaning both use water to clean your carpets, however the difference comes in the process and how much water is being used. Steam cleaning puts hot water into the carpet under high pressure and then extracts the water out, taking girt and grime with it. Dry carpet cleaning involves the carpet being cleaned with a cleaning solution, which breaks down any oils which are holding dirt. Cotton absorbent pads are then spun around on the carpet using a rotary machine. Any dirt in the carpet is released onto the pads.

Which is the best method for my carpet?

Which option is best for you will depend on how long it’s been since your last carpet clean, as well as the type of carpet.

Will cleaning remove carpet stains?

Unfortunately there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer for this curly question. We can’t guarantee that stains will be removed, but we do have a high success rate. A lot of the time a barrier to us being able to fully remove a stain is clients having already tried a home remedy they found on the Internet, but actually just setting in the stain. That’s why it’s always your best option to give us a call straight away – chances are we’ll be able to easily assist.

Why is vacuuming so important?

The dirt brought onto carpets daily through shoes, items left on the ground and pets can quickly amass and cause damage to your carpet. By keeping up with your vacuuming, you’ll be increasing the life expectancy of your carpet. If you have allergies this is even more important and steam cleaning is also recommended.
