Frequently Asked Questions:
How often should my carpet be cleaned?
The majority of carpet manufacturers recommend carpet
cleaning by a professional carpet cleaning firm such as
Omega carpet Cleaning Atlanta every 12
months.
The time frame may vary with individual needs such as
children or pets, which usually require that carpet be
cleaned more frequently.
Carpet manufacturers also recommend cleaning firms
such as Carpet Therapy because of the
knowledge and training required to provide
effective cleaning.
What method does Omega carpet
Cleaning Atlanta use?
We use the Hot Water Extraction
method in conjunction with a type of equipment known as
a truck mount.
The water in our equipment reaches temperatures of
230 degrees Farenheit, helping to loosen the majority of
soils. These soils can then be removed with the high
vacuum generated by this same machine.
Why does Omega carpet Cleaning
Atlanta use this method?
Hot Water Extraction is the method of choice by most
carpet manufacturers because of its greater
effectiveness for removing soils and leaving your carpet
looking its best.
How long will it take for my carpet to
dry?
It normally takes 6 - 8 hours for the carpet to feel
dry enough to walk on, but is typically not completely
dry for 24 hours.
You can walk on the carpet right after cleaning,
provided you wear socks or some kind of foot covering to
keep oils on your feet from getting into the damp
carpet.
How can I keep my carpet looking good?
Vacuuming your carpet thoroughly every week will make
a major difference in maintaining your carpet.
Fact is that 80% of the soil in your carpet is of the
loose, insoluble type. This is the reason why
Omega carpet Cleaning Atlanta begins every
cleaning job by thoroughly vacuuming your carpet or
upholstery.
How should I treat the spots if my pet
has an accident?
The key is to blot up as much of the foreign
matter as you can. Then flush the spot with a
professional spot neutralizer like the one Omega
carpet Cleaning Atlanta provides free of charge
to all our customers. Now take a clean towel and
blot, don't scrub, the spot.
Call a professional carpet cleaner as soon as
convenient to prevent changes in the appearance of your
carpet.
What happens with other stains on my
carpet?
Kool-Aid, wine, candle wax and most other stains
should not be treated with one of the
consumer products found in supermarkets. You are more
likely to set the stain or cause further discoloration.
These products are generally intended for emergency
use only and can cause problems even when instructions
are followed closely.
A better solution would be to call a professional
carpet cleaning company like Omega carpet
Cleaning Atlanta at your earliest convenience:
we have the products and the knowledge to neutralize a
wide variety of carpet staining problems.
