Carpet Cleaning-Professional vs Doing It Yourself

Spotless Clean and Carpet Care • Jun 16, 2021

Having a clean carpet normally makes huge difference to your home’s appearance. Even when you do not think that your carpet is dirty since you do not see stains, you should not be fooled. Dirt normally gets stuck at the carpet’s bottom and will destroy your carpet slowly.


There are usually two ways of cleaning the carpet. You can do it by yourself or rent the services of a commercial carpet cleaning company. When considering hiring an affordable carpet cleaning service, it’s wise to consider different factors, such as labor, price and buying of additional supplies.

The following are pros and cons of renting a commercial carpet cleaning service and DIY

Rent a Service

Pros:

Professionals who are trained for that kind of work know the kind of solution to use on various fibers and carpets. They also know how to remove difficult stains.


Their equipment is more powerful than small machines you may hire for a DIY job.


They also have enough training on how to get rid of pet stain and deodorize it.


You do not have to do some tedious manual work by yourself.

Cons:

Some unscrupulous companies might con you. There are those that might “Bait and Switch” you, charging a low price up front, and asking for more money after the work is done. You should thus hire a credible service.


You will have to spend more money since they normally charge you by the square foot.


Scheduling hassles may arise, particularly when you are working long hours away from home.

DIY - Do It Yourself

Pros:

It’s is cost effective.


A number of supermarkets normally rent carpet cleaning equipment. You may rent them without necessarily having to reserve one in advance.


There is availability of free customer service from the store which rented you the machine. There is also demonstration before you take it home.


You have the benefit of cleaning your own carpet at home, anytime of the day without having the problem of scheduling a service when you are busy working.

Cons:

It means you have to roll up your sleeves and work.


You might not have a clue whether to use stain removers or pre-treatments for difficult works.


It’s your duty to inspect the equipment before you rent it to ensure that there are no animal hairs, dirty bristles or broken parts that’s going to make your work harder.


Today, many people are going for the commercial carpet cleaning companies because they do not have time for DIY, and the companies also provide a more professional service because they have the right personnel who are well trained to do the work.
