How Often Should Carpet and Rugs be Cleaned offered by 3B’s Carpet Cleaning and Floor Care Service’s
3B’s Carpet Cleaning and Floor Care Service has had many customers tell us they have not had their carpet cleaned in 3 years or more because they have relied on myths and misconceptions. The fact is that carpet cleaning extends the life of your carpet and saves you a lot of money required to replace prematurely worn carpet. Carpet cleaned on a regular basis provide a healthy and safe living environment for you and your family, and at the same time adding years of life to one of the biggest investments in your Home or Business. So the question is, how often should they be cleaned? The answer can depend on several factors.
Even though vacuuming can remove most of the dry soil, it is also necessary to have Deep Carpet Cleaning done on your carpet on a regular basis to remove deep embedded soil, pollutants and other debris that will wear your carpet’s fibers. When cleaned regularly, it is much easier to remove this material and saves you money on extra strength cleaners when you wait too long to clean. If you are noticing soil and dark areas on your carpet; it is very dirty and you should have it cleaned soon. Your cleaning interval will vary and how often you clean your carpet will depend on a number of different factors. You must consider how many people are in your Home or Business, if you have kids or pets, whether or not smokers are present, and for Businesses; the volume of Traffic. For example, if you have a house with two adults and kids, you should clean your carpet every 6 months for traffic areas and 12 months for all of the carpet. If there are smokers, you should clean it every 4 to 6 months. If you have pets in your home, you should clean it at least every 3 to 4 months. Businesses should be cleaned a minimum of 6 months in the Traffic areas and 12 months for all of the carpet. The above numbers are just a general guideline. They are based on average environmental and living conditions.
Your cleaning interval will also depend on your Household or Business conditions and the Environment where you are located. Also, if you have new carpet, you may want to follow the Warranty Guidelines for Cleaning, which are every 6 months in the Traffic Areas and every 12 months for the all of the carpet depending on the length of the Warranty which can be 5,10,15, and 20 years and the Grade of Carpet you purchased. This is important, because this is one of the items to meet in order for the Warranty to be honored by the Carpet Manufacturer.The longer you wait to clean, the more potential damage you do to your carpets and rugs, so make your appointment today by visiting 3bscarpetcare.com .

The Best Carpet Cleaning Process Rated Superior by Consumer Report offered by 3B’s Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care Service’s
Everyone seems to be in the Carpet Cleaning Business, with many different methods. With the help of Nationwide Consumer Testing, I have evaluated the Different Carpet Cleaning Methods so that you, as a consumer, can decide which method is best for your purposes.
The results of these comprehensive tests show that Circular Dry-Foam Carpet Cleaning Method did a superior job over all other processes.
Nationwide Consumer Testing found that the Steam methods, which are misnamed because they don’t use Steam, did only a surface cleaning. The hot water detergent solution that was shot into the carpet, forced more dirt deeper into the carpet than it removed. Soil removal was 15.6%. The high amount of detergent residue remaining in the carpet caused it to resoil in 2 to 3 months. Drying time was from 1 to 5 days with the average being 2 1/2 days.
The Chemical Dry, Rotary Brush, and Shampoo methods removed a higher percentage of soil (21% to 46.5%) but the remaining residue was high and it resoiled in 3 to 5 months. Drying time was from 1 to 4 days with the average being 2 days.
The combination of Shampoo and Steam had poor soil removal (25.1%) with a high level of detergent residue causing carpets to resoil rapidly in 1 to 2 months. Drying time was from 2 to 7 days with the average being 3 1/4 days.
The aerosol spray cans and the small Shampoo, Steam and Rinse machines-for-rent did such a poor cleaning job that Nationwide Consumer Testing discontinued testing these methods. They said, “They can advertise all they want, but these methods have very poor soil removal and very high detergent residue.”
The Best Carpet Cleaning found by Nationwide Consumer Testing is the Circular Dry-Foam Carpet Cleaning Method. They said, ”Our research shows that the Circular Dry-Foam Carpet Cleaning Method with separate initial and finish vacuuming, really removes the dirt and keeps the carpet looking better, longer.”
The Circular Dry-Foam Carpet Cleaning Method had a very high level of soil removal (92.3%) with little or no soap residue. It doesn’t use harsh detergents which are oily or sticky. Carpets resoiled in 12 to 16 months. Drying time was from 45 minutes to 2 1/2 hours with the average being 1 1/4 hours. Please visit www.3bscarpetcare.com for Pricing and Additional Savings.
