Keeping our homes and carpets clean is vital for a comfortable living environment. While vacuuming removes dry soil, professional carpet cleaning is necessary to eliminate oily residues, preventing odors and soiling. Neglecting cleaning leads to irreversible damage, resembling traffic lane appearance.

Myth Busted: Cleaning carpets professionally does not make them soil faster. However, soap residue from inexperienced cleaners can. For assured protection, VITAL CLEAN uses the right cleaning and naturalization rinse to eliminate surfactant residues, tackling staining and soiling problems effectively.

Carpets, upholstery, tile & grout should be cleaned every 12-18 months, depending on factors like household activity, pets, and traffic. Regular cleaning every 6-12 months is recommended.

Choosing the right vacuum is crucial. Avoid vacuum-style household carpet cleaners lacking proper suction, as they promote re-soiling, defeating the purpose of cleaning.

Professional carpet cleaning:

Opt for professionals like VITAL CLEAN for superior results. Their experience and equipment ensure a better job than DIY attempts. Their high-extraction equipment dries carpets faster, leaving them softer. Proper cleaning methods neutralize, freshen, and clean carpets, upholstery, and tile & grout.

Educate yourself against predatory service practices. Not all companies prioritize quality; some focus solely on profits. Be cautious and make informed decisions.

Hot water extraction:

Highly recommended by carpet manufacturers, hot water extraction or steam cleaning involves spraying a water and detergent mixture into the pile and recovering it with a powerful vacuum. Truck-mounted units, like those used by VITAL CLEAN, extract all water, leaving no residue behind. Their process is simply the best, effective, and delivers the WOW factor every time.
