What Will Your Carpet Cleaning Process Remove?

Ok, so you are thinking of hiring a Portland-area carpet cleaner to clean your carpet. You are curious at what the cleaner will be able to remove during the cleaning process and what will be permanent.

Generally, most of the brown stains and grey/black spots will come out. If the color is blue, red, or yellow then there are some odds involved.

Red spots and stains can be one of the most difficult stains to remove. Usually, within a few minutes a carpet cleaner can tell if the red is starting to move. There is roughly about a 90% chance that the red spot will come out, but then there is that sneaky last 10%

The blue stains and yellow stains have a better chance of being removed from spot cleaning. The Portland carpet cleaner you hire should go over the stained areas and discuss the probability of each stained area being removed.

Which Sofa to Buy?

The choice of which sofa or other upholstered furniture to purchase is often based solely on the looks of the item or the advice of an interior decorator. Before purchasing upholstery consumers should consider the cleaning process required to clean the item.

Upholstery is not carpet and specialized training and equipment is required to safely clean furniture. Most types of upholstery is tagged dry clean only.

If you purchase upholstery that is marked dry clean only then the list of Portland carpet cleaners with the education and equipment to clean the upholstery is limited.

Before purchasing that cute sofa, please check to see what type of cleaning is required to maintain it or find a Portland carpet cleaner that has specialized upholstery cleaning skills.

We specialize in upholstery cleaning and travel throughout the Portland area.

Take care,

Carpet Buckled After Cleaning, HELP!

Did you just have your carpets cleaned and now have carpet buckling issues?

Don't panic! Buckling is normal and usually caused by improperly stretched carpets. In the past, I mean about 30 years ago, carpets would shrink when over wet, because the backing had a natural material called jute that absorbed water.

Today, carpet backing is made from synthetic materials and doesn't absorb water. When the carpets get wet the fibers relax and that is when buckling occurs. After about 3 days the carpets will be totally dry and the buckling should subside. Note: If there was previous apparent buckling then when water is added to the carpet the buckling will become worse, until the carpet dries. When the carpet fully dries the original amount of buckling or lack thereof will return.

Before Cleaning
It is important for a Portland carpet cleaner to disclose the possibility of buckling before starting to clean the carpet.

Hope this information is helpful...until next time...Sean
