Carpet Cleaning Professionals Northland: Dealing with Carpet Stains and Smells
Carpeting provides great value for the home compared to hardwood floors. As carpets absorb sounds well, it can mask the sound of footsteps up the stairs or in any room where people sleep.
Carpets provide great insulation and keep the heat in. It’s also cushy and warm on the feet.
Carpets create a buffer for falls, so expect a soft landing when you slip – which is especially helpful when you live with children or the elderly.
Having carpets in the home means you have to be responsible for their long term care, and it’s easy to be forgiven that merely vacuuming alone will be enough.
Besides regular cleaning, there are many reasons one would call in a professional carpet cleaner to handle carpet problems.
Here are two common reasons:
Most stains can set in rather quickly and leave a mark. Hopefully, not permanent.
Cleaning up stains on your own is not easy.
Stains are often dealt with based on their chemical composition. There are stains that are food grade or dye-base. These are the result of accidental spills from liquids such as wines, beverages or sauces.
Some food stains are easy to remove, but there are stubborn stains, because they just happen to be natural dyes (turmeric, tea, coffee, onions, beets, etc).
Red wine contains tannins, a natural colorant from grape skin that gives red wine its rich colour. Sodas and juices may contain artificial dyes.
All these stains react differently to various cleaning agents, so you have to find the one that would work well on your carpet fibres and not damage it.
The ones that are nasty and stubborn are often the ink stains. Blood stains as well can be especially challenging when left on the carpet for too long.
Pet stains are unfortunate because they don’t just leave a stain that affects the carpet’s colour, it also leaves a pungent and strong ammonia odour as well.
Some carpets odours can be overpowering from an old musty smell to that familiar wet dog smell. If you’re a pet owner, you would be familiar with these smells by now, so much so you may not smell them day to day.
Many factors can cause a variety of carpet odours, such as:
- Mould and mildew
- Liquids soaked into the carpet.
- Weather, condensation and dampness in the home.
- Adhesive coating from the manufacturing process.
- Dye transfer chemicals
- Microbial degradation
- Pet Urine
Odours are an unpleasant reality with carpets, but are treatable with regular care. Here’s a quick tip you can mix in baking soda in your vacuum bag to fight off odours. If the smell won’t fade away no matter how much you clean it, then you should call in the carpet cleaning professionals.
