Carpet Steam Cleaning Service
At DanCare we use the chosen carpet cleaning method suggested by many carpet manufacturers, which is steam cleaning or hot water extraction. We strive to help you protect your investment by using this method.
A healthy home starts with clean carpets.
Shaw Industries, the worlds largest carpet manufacturer, recommends hot water extraction. Hot Water Extraction forces a hot water cleaning solution into the carpet under high pressure which is then extracted again with high pressure suction. No question, the most effective way to clean carpet is with hot water unit mounted in a truck. It is the only method that thoroughly cleans your carpet of dirt, harmful bacteria, fungus, chemicals and pollens.
A Guide to Maintain Your Carpet
Simple Steps to Help Keep Your Carpet Clean
Vacuum daily. 80 percent of household dirt can be removed by vacuuming.
Keep dirt outside by buying an outside entrance rug or removing your shoes at the entrance of your home. You will be surprised what a big difference this will make.
Avoid Spills. Keep drinks and meals on the kitchen table. Get spill-proof cups for your toddlers. It is always best to minimize the chance for accidents. CAUTION Food Dye can be permanent (Kool-Aid, fruit drinks, wine, etc.).
Clean up spills immediately. Clean your carpet on a regular basis - preferably by a professional carpet cleaning company.
Common Mistakes that can Ruin Your Carpet
Using Bleach, Windex, bathroom cleaners and other cleaning products to spot clean your carpet can discolor and/or leave permanent stains. Use only products specially made for carpet.
One of the top reasons carpets are replaced is because of pets. Pets ripping and tearing up carpet. An even bigger problem is pet urine. Even a simple accident can cause a severe problem. Trying to treat these areas is very expensive and many times untreatable.
Renting or having a small portable machine can help maintain your carpet. Some of the mistakes people are making is using more detergent than was asked for and not removing as much water as possible, ending in a long drying time. People also tend to use the wrong spotter in treating stains, which in some cases ends up making the stain worse.
Carpet Stain Removal Tips
Use spotting products that are made for carpets. Follow the instructions thoroughly.
When spotting, use as little spotter as possible. Spot two or three times if needed. If using a store bought spotter always blot with a white, damp towel to remove as much of the spotter as possible.
Surprisingly, using 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts warm water will remove many household spots and will help with pet spots. For tougher spots, like grease, use 1 teaspoon liquid detergent without color brightness to 1 quart warm water. Again, use as little as possible and afterwards blot with a white, damp towel.
Our Company sells a safe spotter, which works great on many tough spots.
Food dye spots, such as Kool-Aid, fruit juice and orange pop, can sometimes leave permanent spots. A professional carpet cleaning company can, the majority of the time, remove these spots.
