Carpet Cleaning FAQs

The industry of carpet cleaning has developed mostly in the last decades as a result of people’s constant need for perfection. Nothing stands out better than a maintained carpet, so people around the world appealed to different methods in order to achieve a certain level of satisfaction in terms of cleaning. Therefore some of the best known carpet cleaning techniques has appeared.

What is the Most commonly used Carpet Cleaning Methods?

The oldest and the most popular carpet cleaning methods refer to household processes. They imply a low cost, a more and more important feature in times of economic crisis and allow more thoroughness in the cleaning process.

• The vacuum cleaner, every housekeeper’s help and a customary object in every house, is based on an air pump which sucks up the dirt and dust from any surfaces, depositing it in disposable bags. The price of a vacuum cleaner starts at AUS $60 and can reach AUS $800 for the more professional ones.

• Traditional stain removal substances like lemon or oxalic acid for removing ink, white vinegar for coffee and wine, isopropyl alcohol for grease stains are just some of the most common techniques used by people in their homes. If these don’t work there is the professional shampoo, although the risk of damaging the carpet fibers is increased because of the chemicals.

Another method, different from the ones mentioned earlier is the dry carpet-cleaning system which includes specialized machines, allowing busier people to hire a house-cleaning company and take care of the carpet-cleaning chores. Also known as the “very low moisture” system, this procedure is fast- around 15 minutes, but in case of a heavily soiled carpet, one should apply a pre-treatment consisting of strong detergents.

• Dry compounds are a dry cleaning method. The majority are biodegradable. Their usage implies a certain amount of quantity spread on the dirty areas and then brushed in.

• Encapsulation appeared in the 1990s and is the more modern option. The process is based on the reaction of compound crystals which dissolve and absorb the dirt, which is afterwards vacuumed.

Besides dry-cleaning there is the opposite alternative- wet-cleaning. This technique has its disadvantages, especially the required time for drying, longer than the 15 minutes of dry-cleaning, and also the risk of developing moulds, fungi or discoloration. Steam cleaning can be done only after the carpet is treated with an alkaline agent and after it has been through a special machine. The alkaline neutralizer is recommended to prevent deterioration.

How much does Carpet Cleaning Cost?

Carpet cleaning is not an entirely inexpensive process like many cleaning companies try to advertise, but if a carpet is professionally maintained on a regular basis you will save money over time. Some Geelong carpet cleaning companies set their prices depending on the house size, so it's recommended to trust an estimation until the company has seen the actual size of the room. Usually, the charge is calculated per square meter. Prices per square meter usually start from AUS $4.
