Why does my carpet get dirty so fast after cleaning?

Every now and again Spotless Flooring receives a call and someone asks “Why does my carpet get dirty so fast after cleaning?”

It’s quite a common question and happens to many people who receive multiple cleanings every year. Spotless Flooring has three simple answers:

Your Attention to Stay Clean

You have invested your time, money, and let a stranger into your home to do the work of cleaning your carpet. Now that you’ve invested so much into it, you want to see your carpet stay clean. Simply put, you pay more attention to your carpet after a cleaning. More than likely after a cleaning you are going to notice all the stains that you didn’t see much of before and every new spot as it appears. This especially happens when you do your weekly vacuuming and spend some time inspecting as you go.

Cleaning the Carpet Up After…

Have you possibly had any changes in your home environment? Your carpet may be getting dirty faster after cleaning because you recently had a change at home causing it. Consider this; Do you have a new pet who’s going outside and in? Have your children had their friends over more often or started playing outside more often? Did your spouse get a new job or start doing some yard work that might be bringing in more contaminates?

Poor Previous Service

The most common issue we see as cleaners is that the last company you invited into your home just didn’t rinse the carpet well enough. Thus they have left some residue on your carpet which causes the dirt to stay trapped on the fibers and preventing your vacuum from sucking them up.

- The great thing is that there is a resolution to this issue and what’s even better is that here at Spotless Flooring we make sure no residue gets left behind. In fact we often rinse out residues from previous cleaners and household spotters that may have been used.
- Utilizing our industry leading carpet cleaning wand we can actually see how soapy the recovered water is as it’s sucked out of the carpet. This keeps us informed on what areas need more rinsing and also lets us know when we hit a real soapy spot (common with household spotters)
- Spotless Flooring will only use the necessary amount of cleaning agents on your carpet. The result is that we don’t apply loads of cleaner to your carpet to begin with and rinsing it out (the steam cleaning process) is easier and more efficient.
- We are also using the HWE (hot water extraction AKA steam cleaning) method to rinse your carpet of contaminates. This means we have ultra heated high flowing water sprayed straight onto your carpet and immediately sucked up by our powerful vacuum. This provides an incredible rinse while removing all water and contaminates.
- To top the cake we are also using a rinse agent. This is very similar to what you might be using in your dishwasher. This does exactly what the name implies, it makes our rinsing process more effective by removing soap residues. But that’s not all, it also better prepares the fibers for protector. That means the protector will be better accepted by each fiber making it an even more effective product.

Carpet Cleaning Seabrook TX : Changing Your Environment

Carpet Cleaning Seabrook TX

Did you know? Your carpet serves as an air filter for your home more than the filter in your air conditioning unit. Carpet cleaning Seabrook is very important because of the high amount of allergens in the area. As these particulates settle onto your floors, carpet grabs a hold of them. Over time the buildup stops filtering the air so well. That’s a big part of why cleaning with a HEPA certified vacuum is important.

This link contains an article that supports how carpet cleaning Seabrook TX is necessary to clean your home’s largest air filter.

Carpet Cleaning Seabrook TX home Before and After during cleaning

We prefer our Dyson vacuum over others because of its amazing recovery and convenience. While we use a HEPA filtered vacuum, we still understand that a vacuum alone will not capture all those nasty things in carpet. There are plenty of dirty little bugs, hairs, and dirt that grab hold of the carpet fibers and won’t let go. That’s what our carpet service specializes in, removing that which is difficult to remove.

Over time oils and gunk get stuck to our carpet. With time these things build up and create what we call traffic areas. Look at carpet like your hair in this matter. If you just blow-dry your hair every couple of weeks, it is not going to stay clean. Every day or two you have to put a product, a soap, into your hair and massage it around to release all the oil. It’s the same way with carpet. As a professional carpet cleaning Seabrook TX I always apply a detergent cleaner to all the areas being cleaned. Like when we massage the shampoo into our scalp, I also always use some form of agitation to work the cleaner into the carpet fibers.

By this point you may be wondering how we are going to get soap out of the carpet, it’s not like we can come in with a water hose and just spray it off. No, it’s not quite that easy. I like to use what is referred to as steam cleaning or hot water extraction (HWE). This system uses a triggered spraying system to apply controlled amounts of hot water onto the carpet just before it’s sucked up. But like your hair, if you just ran water over your head once and called it a day, you would still have very soapy hair. I like to go over the areas at least twice but usually three to four times. This is tough and takes a lot of physical labor but is the best way to ensure no sticky soapy residue is left over when the job is finished.

NOW oils, sticky residue, dust, pollens, and allergens have been removed from your carpet. Allergy problems are abundant. That’s what makes carpet cleaning Seabrook TX an important service. I have an allergy problem myself and know how important clean air can be. That’s why every time I’m out cleaning your homes, I treat it like my own and provide the same quality of work I would for myself or my family.

People need professional carpet care to be much better than a do it yourself product. You have some dirty carpets on your floor and you live near the water in a very humid area. Cleaning the floor with rental machines such as Rug Doctors just doesn’t cut it for most. The vacuum recovery on the machine just isn’t enough to prevent a musky smell from forming.

That’s actually what got me to writing this. I got a call a few days ago from a lady in Friendswood TX. She was telling me how she used her rental carpet cleaning machine. She told me how it sort of cleaned the carpet but after a day the carpet was still wet and now a musky smell remained in the home. She wanted us to come out and get the smell gone, carpets dry, and actually clean them. Of course that was no problem for us but unfortunate for the lady.

Friendswood Texas, Founded in 1895

Not only has our caller put in a lot of time and effort into half cleaning a floor but now it remains wet for too long and the house stinks. It’s unfortunate she didn’t read a story like this before deciding to take matters into her own hands. Now she has to spend more money and time calling out a professional carpet cleaning Friendswood TX. If only she started with the right call, less time and money would of went down the drain.

Living in a high humidity area makes it really hard to get things air dried. Because of this I have implemented the use of high velocity air movers in my company and WOW it makes a difference. As we finish cleaning an area a floor fan goes down in the area to help expedite the drying. All ceiling fans come on and the air conditioner gets turned down to 74 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now, a lot of people believe it’s best to open the windows and let the fresh air in. That’s a great idea for anyone in a dry environment. In our case, after carpet cleaning Friendswood TX, its best to use the air conditioners dehumidifying ability to remove the moisture from the air. Keeping the windows closed and AC on with as many fans moving as possible is the best way to get your wet carpet dry. And if you want a real cleaning, call a professional the first time.
