Sometimes it is unclear as to whether a carpet cleaning service can really help with your problem. Perhaps you think you might be able to clean up the mess yourself. We are here to recommend the intervention of a professional cleaning company in the following situations:

1. Spills

As soon as you spill anything other than water on your carpet, it is a good idea to call a carpet cleaning service. Even clear sugary drinks that are unlikely to leave stains can still harm the carpet and leave lingering odors. But dark liquids are most likely to require professional cleaning.

The general rule is that if it stains your teeth over time, it will stain your carpet immediately. These liquids include dark sodas, red wine, and coffee. Some of these stains can be removed, but the effectiveness of the cleaning will depend on how quickly they are addressed. The longer you wait, the more the stain is likely to set.

2. Visits

Sometimes we want to impress people or make a positive impression. These visits can range from family get-togethers, parties, or even dates. And in the area of virtual interviews, you might want to do some cleaning before you turn on your computer’s camera.

Stains on your carpet can send very negative signals to the people around you. They signal a chaotic life and a general lack of care about aesthetics and appearance. As sad as it is for people to judge others on something as trivial as carpet stains, there are many people who neglect cleaning as a result of laziness or lack of organization.

3. Pet Stains

If your pet urinates or defecates on a carpet, you have problems with both stains and odors. It is pressing to get the cleaning started as soon as the incident is detected. You should jump into action as immediately as possible. But be wary of doing the cleaning yourself.

You might be able to make the stain imperceptible to human eyes and noses, but without proper cleaning, animals can still smell the substances. These lingering (yet imperceptible) smells will lead your pet and others to restrain the area. Get the cleaning done professionally for the best results.

4. Moving

Whether you are moving in or moving out, with the carpet cleared of all furniture, this is the best time to get a professional cleaning. You can make sure every area of the carpet is cleaned without having to go through the hassle of moving furniture out of the way and then back into place.

Carpet cleaning might be the landlord’s job, so check your lease to see if you will have to foot the bill. And if you are moving out, you may need a carpet cleaning service in order to get your security deposit back.

5. Allergies

There are many unexpected places that can hold allergens, but an especially unexpected location is your carpet. Whether you are tracking in dirt and pollen on your shoes, clothing, or even in your hair, everything falls to the floor eventually.

Allergens may even end up on your bed or furniture. Each time these surfaces are disturbed or used, you come in contact with the irritant. So consider spring cleaning that includes upholstery cleaning and even mattress cleaning.
