Guide to carpet cleaning in Tampa

First my credentials so you feel more confident with my suggestions on how, who and when to have your carpet cleaned Tampa.  I am an industry professional and have been in the businees for 15 years now. I have seen and heard to many horror stories with people having there carpet cleaned by discount companies or just simply uneducated or unethical carpet cleaning companies. So I decided to put this list together for the public on how to find the very best and ethical carpet cleaner in there area. I happen to be in the Tampa area and service all around Tampa as well. Ok, so here it goes with your check list.

Q.  What method is best and why? 

A. Truckmounted steam cleaning is by far and away the most powerful and thorough method. This is also the method preferred by the largest carpet manufacturers.

Q. How do I find a great carpet cleaner in my area?

A. Well now you simply can do a search online for the service your looking for and add your city and you can find many companies this way. But dig a little deeper and check reviews of this company online by simply doing a google search for the name of the company and then add reviews. You also can check on Yelp or Angie's list as well.

Q. Why does it take so long for my carpets to dry and will they re-soil quickly like the last time?

A. Carpet should never take anymore then a full day to dry. In most cases they only should take 2-4hrs. If they take a long time either the company did not do proper dry passes or had inferior equipment that is underpowered. Usually this happens with the discount companies. Also, rapid re-soiling is caused by leaving residue in the carpet which is easily addressed by simply pre treating the carpet and doing a thorough rinse and extraction properly. Most of these problems happen when hiring a discount company with uneducated technicians, underpowered equipment or simply just a poor work ethic.

I hope this helps you in your carpet cleaning decision making and please check back for more helpful tips in the future.

What carpet cleaning method is best?

This is a common question we get all the time and I will try and explain the different techniques and the benefits and disadvantages of each. First you have the rental or store bought type of equipment which would fall into the portable carpet steam cleaning category. Now these for obvious reasons may be one of the worst choices for carpet cleaning do to be so underpowered they are not able to properly rinse or recover any of your cleaning solution which will cause rapid resoling. Believe me if those little machines worked well us professional would not spend twenty thousand dollars on just our machine alone.
Ok, then you have dry cleaning or bonnet cleaning which uses a dry cotton pad typically to buff if you will the carpet in hopes of transferring the loosened dirt to the pad itself. Not very effective and since there is no rinse of the carpet pile lots of cleaning residue is left to rapidly re-soil just like the do it your self machines.
Then you have truck mounted steam cleaning equipment which are powerful gasoline engines mounted inside the vans or box trucks. These are state of the art equipment that create unrivaled vacuum and heated water like nothing else in our industry. Not to mention this process is the preferred method of the world largest carpet manufacturer. When proper steps are taking this is by far and away the most thorough longest lasting clean in the industry. Simply put a pre vacuuming is done, then a pre treatment cleaner is applied and lightly agitated into the carpet pile, then a very thorough and hot rinse is done, and finally a very strong vacuum extracts all the contaminants and cleaning residue as well as the water from the carpet. This will leave you with a fresh and soft feeling carpet free of everything you wanted out of it as well as free of cleaning residue so many others leave. This is the process my company carpet cleaning Tampa uses exclusively and our clients love it!
