DIY vs. Minneapolis Professional Carpet Cleaning
Cleaning your home is a chore, but sometimes, it just has to be done. When it comes to your carpets, you have two options: do it yourself and professional cleaning. Both can help your carpets last longer and stay clean, so either one will make the most of your carpets. To make sure you are getting what you want, there are a few things you will have to consider.
Initial cost
The cost of professional carpet cleaning is understandably more than renting a carpet cleaner to do it yourself. There are ways to lower the costs of professional carpet cleaning by having specific rooms cleaned or just the high traffic areas. Call us to learn more about our low pricing to see where you can save.
Scheduling
Scheduling when to get your carpets cleaned can be tricky. Every professional carpet cleaner will have their own schedule between their open hours and other clients. That makes it difficult to work around your schedule. If you have a very specific time you are available, it might be difficult to find a carpet cleaner that can work around your schedule. However, you’ll also have to make sure you have the time to clean your carpets if you decide to do it yourself.
Level of cleanliness
The quality of the equipment will determine how clean your carpets will get. As you can guess, rental cleaning equipment does not have as good of quality as professional equipment. Most rentals have lower water pressure than professional cleaners. That means the cleaner and water will not get as far into your carpet fibers than if a professional comes in to clean. If you have deep stains in your carpet, it is likely that a rental carpet cleaner will not get those deeper stains.
Times to dry
Because of the quality of the equipment, rental carpet cleaners will leave your carpets damp for longer. Just like how the cleaner can’t get further into your carpets, the rentals don’t have the same amount of suction as professional cleaners. Most professional cleaners also have water heaters to steam clean the carpets, unlike rentals. That also helps your carpets dry faster.
Cost of mistakes
When you make a mistake while cleaning your own carpets, you will have to find a way to fix it yourself. Mistakes like adding too much cleaning solution, staying in one spot too long, or other little things. Professional carpet cleaners know what mistakes to avoid and can fix any that are made, if any.
Making the most of your carpets is to get a deep clean after a long winter indoors. If you would like to schedule professional carpet cleaning for your home, give us a call. We are happy to work with you to find the right budget for the right day.
