Professional carpet cleaning solutions offer a wide range of dirt, odor and stain fighting power. They can help extend the lifespan of your carpets in commercial settings, where the rigors of foot traffic can damage fibers, discolor them and even cause them to lose their texture.
But like picking out a superhero costume, it’s important to select the right solution for your carpets. The wrong choice could fade colors or leave behind a sticky residue that makes it easier for soil to stick to carpets, while one that’s too acidic or alkaline can damage fibers.
Professional Carpet Cleaning Solutions for a Spotless Home
A few key steps can help ensure that your selected cleaning solution is the best choice for your carpets. Always test the product in an inconspicuous area before applying it to a full-scale spot, and follow instructions carefully. Also be sure to use the right tools, such as an extractor that pulls up both the water and cleaning solution so carpets aren’t left wet for too long, which can lead to mildew and mold.
Some of the most effective professional carpet cleaners are also surprisingly simple to use. For example, if you’re struggling with stubborn pet stains, mix hydrogen peroxide with dish soap and cornstarch to make a paste that lifts the stain. Or try using rubbing alcohol on the stain, which can be just as effective for most common types of stains. Alternatively, try a specialized rug shampoo, such as the plant-based OxiClean formula that regularly appears among the top rankings in our laundry, vacuum and carpet cleaning categories, or the Bissell Carpet Cleaning Formula with Scotchgard that targets tough stains and helps protect against future soiling.
