Is DIY Carpet Cleaning a Good Idea?



DIY, we believe, is cheap and very economical. These are of course, benefits. But, there are some activities that you just can’t successfully complete by doing them yourself. Cleaning your carpet is one of those. This is why we recommend hiring a professional carpet cleaner

Day to day vacuuming reduces dust and probably allergens but according to the Huff Post, vacuuming isn’t cleaning. Same applies to the use of homemade cleaning solutions that are believed to be natural, chemical-free, and safe.

But then, do these supplies really keep your carpet clean? Do they allow you enjoy its quality of durability? Or do they wear and tear much quicker than they should because you are using the wrong solution and cleaning tools?

There are many dangers to cleaning your carpet yourself. Some are discussed below.

Excessive Moisture

If you are to be true to yourself, you’ll admit that there is always too much moisture left after you clean your carpet yourself. 

This is because you’re not a professional carpet cleaner. You have no idea how much water should be used or what cleaning agent should be avoided or allowed. You end up with wet carpets for days. 

Your home develops an unpleasant odor that makes your home noncondusive, even for you. This wetness makes it easy for dusts and pollen to accumulate and your carpet is back to been dirty.

This is closely followed by discoloration and mould growth which is a threat to the appearance of your home and your health. Mildew renders your carpet worse for wear in no time.

Professional carpet cleaners specialize in what they do. They have the right tools and can have your carpet dry within a day or two.

Warranty Loss

Carpet manufacturers recommend that your carpet get professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Going against this recommendation will invalidate your warranty rights. Should your carpet get damaged while you are experimenting with your DIY methods, you’ll be at loss, forfeiting the warranty that covers that.

Stress

Doing it yourself might seem cheap but it is stressful. Your arms and back will end up hurting for days. Cleaning carpets is hard work. Professional carpet cleaners are trained for it. Let them give your carpet the treat it deserves while saving you stress and the time you would have spent on it. All tough stains will be gone with lesser effort than you’d have put in doing it yourself. What’s worse is that with all your stress, it will never be as clean as a one handled by a professional.

Extra Expenses

Cleaning your carpet yourself will most likely add more to your carpet’s issues. Getting your carpet cleaned is different from making homemade perfumes or facial cleansers. If you use the wrong cleaning agents, you’ll destroy your carpets. They will become dull, losing their vibrant look, all thanks to the DIY approach.

Get your carpet cleaned once and for all while saving yourself the cost of spending more than you would have if you had just gotten professional carpet cleaners in the first place.
