Let’s discuss about life in the Northern Beaches. Your carpet has seen it all: sand, salt, kids, and perhaps a little wine. It seems sense now to roll up your sleeves, get a rental cleaner, and call yourself the Carpet Whisperer, right? Here’s the kicker. Cleaning your own carpet in Northern Beaches could be costing you a lot of money. Find for more bonuses here!
First of all, most carpet cleaners you can buy without a prescription are like placing a band-aid on a roof that leaks. Things look better on the surface. Down there? Not really. The carpeting in your neighbor’s rental are all bumpy. Probably the spirit of last year’s bad DIY project. Dampness, stains, and other signs that your carpet needs more than just a quick wash are frequently signs that it needs more than just a quick wash.
Let’s talk about hidden charges. Cleaning supplies, renting machines, and gas for picking up and dropping off all add up. Then add the time you’ll never get back. And if you soak the carpet too much (which is easy to do), it will grow mold, which means higher fees and maybe even a professional coming out anyhow. Plus, the chance of injury isn’t uncommon. Common DIY battle scars include shrinkage, strange bubbles, and even a fading spot.
Have you ever tried to get crimson wine out of a cream-colored carpet using a store-bought spray? Good luck. Some stains stick together so well that they almost pass the citizenship exam. Professional cleaners have enzymes and instruments that break down stains on a very small scale. You won’t find that kind of electronics under your kitchen sink.
This is a good one for the book: a friend of mine once decided to do a deep clean before a huge party at his house. He reasoned, “More soap will give better results.” The carpet was sticky for weeks, and guests’ shoes made a squeaking sound. He had to say sorry almost every day. Store-bought devices just can’t match the power or accuracy of professional equipment.
There is a health aspect to it, in addition to the funny mistakes. Bacteria, allergies, and, dare I say, pet smells may live in carpets. Professionals have steamers that are safe for kids and pets, and they don’t make you sneeze as much. Your pets will also receive something soft and new to lie on.
If you care about your weekends, your sanity, and the money you’ve worked hard for, think carefully before cleaning those carpets like you’re getting ready for boot camp. Sometimes “Do It Yourself” really does mean “Don’t Get Involved.”
