There is a reason why some people are professionals in a field and others are either novices or simply enthusiasts.  Professionals are privy to certain trainings, tips, tricks, and industry insights into a particular craft, since they surround themselves with it every day.  Novices and enthusiasts are self-taught or learned it on U-tube, and may or may not have the right information regarding how to handle a task.  When it comes to tackling a home improvement project, the homeowner, who wants to save money, attempts to take on the task alone, without the help of a professional. This is usually where the trouble starts.

When it comes to carpet cleaning, calling a professional is the wisest decision. Due to the wide variety of fabrics and materials used today, certain problems  could arise, which only a professional would know how to handle.  That mysterious stain - that nobody knows how it got there or what it is – may take a special product to remove.  Using generic or grocery store bought cleaning agents can set a stain or permanently discolor the carpet.  Taking on a carpet cleaning issue without knowing the proper method of removal or product to use may lead to a carpet that looks worse than before, and is now going to cost more money than before.  Below are some of the main reasons why it is best to contact a professional carpet cleaning company before trying to remove a carpet stain without proper knowledge and products.

The Interaction Between the Carpet & Certain Chemicals

Diverse carpet fibers react differently with various cleansers and chemicals. This is why simply picking up a carpet cleaning solution at the local home improvement store and taking the project on with nothing more than the instructions on the back of the container, can be dangerous to the carpet. Certain cleansers contain bleach, which will lighten or leave a yellowing affect to a carpet, turning a removable stain into a bleached spot that will not come out ever. Once the dye has been removed from your carpet, there is no going back.

Since a professional carpet cleaning company will be able to assess the type of carpet fiber you have and the best cleaning method for it, there is much less room for errors.

It Will Not Be Cheaper in the Long Run

Each time a person tries to take on a do-it-yourself,  project there are always some unfortunate hurdles that get in the way.  Typically, this will add time or money to the project unexpectedly.  Many people assume that if a carpet cleaning company charges $200 to professionally clean a whole house , but the cleanser is only $25 and a rental vacuum is only $75 a day at the local home improvement store, then they have already saved $100 by doing it themselves.  However, they have not factored in the time it will take to complete such a large project or electricity and water used.  Think about how much time is worth.  If the job takes 5 hours to do, then in essence, it pays about $20 per hour to get back to the original estimate of $200 for a carpet cleaning company to do it instead.  That's not a bad pay rate, but that's also 5 hours of lost time, 5 hours of inconveniencing others in the household and it also means the person completing the job is 5 hours more exhausted than they should be.

Aside from the time it takes - using a rental carpet-cleaning machine will only be a very temporary fix. The machine is a shampooer that uses detergents that stick to the carpet fibers causing dirt to be attracted even faster than before.  A carpet can hold six times its weight in dirt before one even notices that it is dirty, but it will become dirty quicker because of the cleaner used.  The dirt is pushed down into the base of the carpet, and will wick back up to the top, revealing the stains, shortly after the long drying time is over, (which also causes mold spores to grow).

In the end, a simple carpet cleaning job could cost $100 plus for supplies, 5 hours of time, and then hundreds more to fix any mistakes that happen as a result of a non-professional cleaning, and the carpet will just look dirty again shortly after.  So clearly, it is not always less expensive to do it yourself.

Not Missing the Little Things

Professional carpet cleaning companies pay attention to details.  A professional carpet cleaner is trained to take care of the customer’s property.  Furniture is moved carefully and small pads are put under wooden or metal legs so that discoloring of the carpet does not occur from rusting or transfer of wood stain. The carpet is raked or re-vacuumed to bring back up the pile and leave the carpet soft and fluffy.  Tough spots are re-treated ensuring satisfaction, and if the company is very wise, a bottle of cleaner (bearing the company’s name and phone number) is left for the customer in case of future spills.  A good carpet cleaning company will take care of the little things, that are so important.

A professional, often learns through a great deal of trial and error.  Every single problem, that one may happen upon, has been trouble-shooted by an industry professional.  The process and products used have been tried and tested repeatedly to insure total success.  Much research and inventive ingenuity have been put into the professional carpet cleaning company’s product.  A professional is a person who is paid to undertake a specialized set of tasks, who makes a living from one’s profession.  Anyone who relies on his/her profession to feed and clothe their family is going to perform their task to the utmost of their ability, or that one is not a professional.

Melbourne, Fl Carpet Cleaners Unveil New Masterpiece

A local Melbourne, FL artist called me last week to book a carpet cleaning job from Brevard Kwik Dry.  She called back to rebook, stating that she was not yet ready for Cocoa, Florida’s best alternative for carpet cleaning to clean her carpets.  I rebooked her for the following week, thinking she would call and cancel again.

My experience in talking to customers and booking jobs for Brevard Kwik Dry is that those who cancel jobs usually do not call back to rebook.

Five Reasons Why Carpet Cleaning Customers Cancel Are:

1. They have found what they think is a cheaper price and have booked with that company instead.

2. They have spent the money that they were going to use for the cleaning service.

3. Their plans have changed and they will not be home at the scheduled time.

4. They have read a negative review on the internet about that company and believe it.

5. They forget about the scheduled job and cancel when the cleaning company calls to confirm.

For Every Action There is a Reaction

No matter how valid the excuse, the cleaning company deals with the following problems:

1. They have just lost money that they counted on for their business.

2. The cleaning technician loses money as well. 

3. Now there is an open slot in the schedule that has to be filled.

4. If the cleaning technician shows up, and the customer cancels right then, the company has wasted time and gas money.

5. This disappoints the carpet cleaning company and they lose a little more trust in people.

All in all, canceling your scheduled job - especially at the last minute - has negative effects on the company concerned, so make sure that you either let the cleaning company know, as soon as possible of the change, or simply keep your word.

Fortunately, and to my pleasant surprise, the Melbourne Water Color Artist kept her second appointment, and Dalton from Brevard Kwik Dry showed up to clean her carpets.  She was also pleasantly surprised at how good-looking he was. (She told me later on the phone when she called to sing her praises of Brevard Kwik Dry’s best cleaner.)

Here are the before and after pictures of this nice customer’s Berber carpet:

Berber Carpet is made of Olefin or Nylon, a polyethylene or polypropylene - in layman’s terms - plastic. Believe it or not, Berber carpeting is a petroleum based plastic, like polyester. Therefore it is water resistant and stain resistant. Berber carpet has one great nemesis – oil. Since it is made from oil, of course, it attracts oils and soil.  Did you ever notice that dirt sticks to your skin? You have to use soap to remove all of it from your hands, correct? That is because we are made from dirt, so dirt is attracted to our skin and blends naturally with it. It is the same thing for Berber carpeting, but with oil.  This is bad for the carpet, but good for Melbourne Carpet Cleaners, especially Brevard Kwik Dry.

Berber is easy to clean for this Brevard County Carpet Cleaning Company, since we use a low-moisture, oxygenated, citrus cleaner that is naturally a degreaser, so oil – no problem.  Also, the low moisture factor inhibits any mold growth.  

The Melbourne Artist’s carpet became beautifully clean and she was ecstatic.  She said, “My experience with Brevard Kwik Dry and Dalton was overwhelmingly wonderful. I did not expect a great improvement on my carpets, but they came out amazing! Dalton was truly a pleasure to work with. Can I keep him? He was a real gentleman and the hardest worker that I have ever seen. My carpets are truly a masterpiece!”
