When "Bargain" Cleaning Becomes Expensive!

When hiring a Portland area carpet cleaning company make sure to receive value. The photo below is a picture showing the results from a "splash and dash" carpet cleaning company. The entire rental home was cleaned in less than 45 minutes!

When the owners of the property came by to look at the home, they were understandably unhappy with the results, and called us to re-clean the home.

Fortunately, the owner of the property was able to recover the money she spent from the previous cleaning company, but only after placing several heated phone calls and after receiving an education in carpet cleaning.

What Causes the Dark Lines on the Edges of the Carpet?

I have talked about the dark lines around the edges of the walls several times in my blogs. Often, when performing carpet cleaning in Portland homes I have noticed the existence of black lines around the walls.

There seems to be some confusion as to what causes these lines and what can be done to correct them.

These lines are called filtration lines. They are caused by dirty air traveling around the edges of the carpet throughout the home. Generally, if the air filters in the home have not been changed regularly then unfiltered dirty air that looks like soot travels throughout the home and rests on the edges of the carpet and under the door openings.

These type of lines can be removed using specialized cleaning procedures.

So please change your air filters on time avoiding filtration soiling issues. This will not only improve the appearance of the carpet, but provide a healthier living environment as well.

Carpet Cleaning Voids My Carpet Manufacturers Warranty, Right?

In the past it was believed that carpet cleaning would damage carpets. Today, hiring a professional carpet cleaner to clean your carpets will not damage them and actually helps them last longer, maintains the manufacturer warranty, improves indoor air quality, and provides peace of mind.

Having said all of that, hiring a carpet cleaner that has not been trained and certified by the IICRC may not understand the proper cleaning methods to clean your carpet. When getting your carpets cleaned it is best to hire a certified professional carpet cleaner. To maintain your carpet manufacturers warranty one of the requirements is to hire a certified carpet carpet that uses an IICRC approved cleaning method.
