What Does Hiring a Certified Portland Carpet Cleaner Mean For You?

Not all carpet cleaners in Portland, OR are the same. Some have been cleaning for years and some have just started. Some of these cleaners are certified. What does hiring a certified Portland carpet cleaner mean for you?

To become a certified carpet cleaner the cleaner must study in a classroom environment and pass written examination covering several topics.

Some covered topics are:

  • pH factors involved in soil removal
  • Proper vacuuming techniques
  • Fiber composition & manufacturing methods
  • Types of soil
  • Proper equipment handling
  • Safety & professionalism standards
  • And other information

What You Need to Understand

It takes time and devotion to become certified in carpet cleaning. As with everything it is one thing to learn how to do something correctly and another thing to practice what you have learned.

Two important steps that are commonly skipped by carpet cleaners in the carpet cleaning industry, which are taught in all IICRC Carpet Cleaning Tech certification classes, is vacuuming and proper rinsing of carpet.

Up to 80% of the soil is located in the lower two thirds of the carpet. Actually, if the carpet is cleaned with out being properly vacuumed first the soil in the lower part of the carpet turns into mud.

Another important part of carpet cleaning is to neutralize the detergent used to clean the carpet. If the carpet is rinsed with detergent and not a neutralizing rinse the carpet will become crunchy and sticky not soft and soil repelling.

Why Do I Have Mold In My Bathroom Shower?

You clean and clean your bathroom shower and no matter how hard you try you cannot seem to get rid of the mold. Sometimes you get rid of the soap scum in the shower, but he mold won't seem to leave.

It is not uncommon in the Portland area to experience a few issues with mold over time.

One of the best options for controlling mold in the bathroom is to control the moisture. One easy way is to run the fan in the bathroom after taking a shower. This will help let out the excess moisture and lessen the ideal conditions for mold to grow.

What Should It Cost To Clean My Carpet?

Okay, so you have realized that it is time to have your carpet cleaned. You have seen Portland carpet cleaners in the phone book. Carpet cleaning flyers have been put on your front door. You have even searched for Portland carpet cleaners on google, yahoo, and bing etc. 

While looking through the ads two questions come to mind: 1. Who should I call 2. What does it cost to have my carpets cleaned?

Actually, both of these questions go hand in hand. Before looking for a carpet cleaner in Portland you need to ask yourself, "What am I looking for in a carpet cleaner?"

Are looking to hire a carpet cleaner that cleans carpet properly, following IICRC cleaning standards, or are you looking for a company that offers a splash and dash type of service?

Some of the splash and dash companies are very cheap, because no one would pay them any more for the service they offer. A few other companies in Portland offer a very thorough carpet cleaning service and charge a reasonable price. The difference is you pay a little more and receive an extremely though cleaning of your carpets. Carpets that stay fluffy and healthy longer.

Why is My Carpet Flat Matted and Crushed?

Have you noticed that your carpets are looking flat matted and crushed? Are you wondering if there is help available or is it time to replace the carpets? 

Some carpets crush and become matted more easily than others. A Portland Carpet Cleaner with specialized cleaning knowledge can fix the flat and matted carpets making them look like new again. Polyester is a carpet fiber that crushes easily and therefore not much can be done to restore the flat and matted look of the carpet. 

When choosing which carpet to buy make sure not to be FOOLED by the purchase price... very expensive carpet doesn't mean it is made from the best fibers. It's like comparing the cheapest Mercedes to the most expensive Chevy. 

Some of the best carpets are made from Olefin, Wool, and Nylon.
