San Diego Carpet Cleaning

More often than not, carpet is preferred by many homeowners for their living rooms and bedrooms. However, when compared with other flooring options, carpets are more challenging to clean and maintain. Apart from regular vacuuming, it is also important for you to get a professional San Diego carpet cleaning according to the manufacturers’ recommendations.

The American Lung Association says that dust accumulated in carpet can make family members suffer from breathing problems such as asthma or snoring. This explains why it is important to keep your carpet dust-free. Aside from that, below are more benefits that you can get from carpet cleaning.

• Trapped pollutants are eliminated. Indoor air pollutants and their sources can be retained in a dirty carpet. Toxic airborne gases can also become trapped in the carpet. By vacuuming your carpet and by walking through it, the toxic gases are released into the air. With thorough cleaning, bacteria and trapped pollutants can be removed.
• Dust mite infestations can be cleared. Dust mites infest many homes, but not all homeowners are aware of this because the mites are not visible. Mites are not allergens, but they leave body fragments and feces which are allergens. Because these particles are very small, they can be inhaled especially once the area is disturbed.  Inhaling dust mite debris can worsen allergies. With professional carpet cleaning, dust mites can be killed and removed with a high-temperature wash.
• Mold growth can be prevented. Mold can easily grow in a dirty carpet, especially when it is exposed to moisture or high humidity. We prevent this from happening by using high-powered drying tools to minimize moisture.

Star Flooring & Remodeling uses different cleaning methods to get your flooring beautiful.

• Steam cleaning. This is also known as “hot water extraction” and it is a common carpet cleaning method. Under high pressure, the carpet is injected with water not to exceed 140 degrees. The dirt is loosened by the hot water and our machine immediately draws out the dirt and moisture. Odors, dust mites, and bacteria are removed as well.
• Carpet shampooing. This process involves the use of a foamy chemical. The chemical is applied on the carpet. We then agitate the carpet using a motorized circular brush. The shampooed carpet is then vacuumed thoroughly.
• Carpet dry cleaning. In this method, virtually no water is used. An absorbent compound is applied into the carpet and it is spread thoroughly with the use of a mechanized brush. A commercial vacuum cleaner is then used to remove soil and residue. This method allows the carpet to dry faster than other methods.
• Bonnet cleaning. In this method, a cleaning product which is mixed with carbonated water is spread over the carpet. A “bonnet” or a circular rotating buffer having absorbent cover is then run over the carpet.

The answer to this depends mainly on the type of use the carpet endures.

• The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration or IIRC recommends cleaning carpets at least once a year. Low-traffic area carpet should be cleaned once every 12-18 months, but high-traffic areas should be cleaned quarterly. Regardless of when you need San Diego carpet cleaning, do not hesitate to call Star Flooring & Remodeling at (619) 282-4000.
• If you have children, pets, smokers, or visitors from time to time, your carpet should be cleaned 2-4 times yearly.
