Carpet Cleaning Omaha

Steve Sleeper recently had the Specialists Carpet Cleaning Omaha clean the rugs in his house. He followed them with a camera and interviewed Scot Morris, the owner of the company. What follows is a transcript of the interview and it provides a lot of good information on how to hire a good carpet cleaning company.

[Steve] OK. Scott, you’re in the dining room cleaning. I don't mean to be gross, but what's coming out of the carpet?
_
[Scot] Your carpet is a large, flat, absorbent material. It acts like a filter. It pulls in everything that's in the air, all of the pollution, all of the contaminants, all the dust and dirt, anything that comes in on your shoes, anything that comes in with the dogs or anything that comes out of the dogs - not to be gross.
_
So what's coming out of the carpet is a combination of natural dirt and soil, bodily fluids from the dogs and a host of air pollution and contaminants.
_
[Steve] One reason Carpet Cleaning Omaha is needed is because contaminants can destroy rug fibers, correct?
_
[Scott] Absolutely. Imagine your furnace filter. If you look at this carpet as a filter, how long does it take for that filter to be full? All of those contaminants damage the carpet fiber
_
Those contaminants are stirred up into the house and you and your family are breathing in all that stuff. It's particularly hard on people who have respiratory issues, which we're seeing more and more.
_
[Steve] Scott, what's the advantage of using a truck mount for cleaning carpets?
_
[Scott] Well the advantage of using truck mount equipment is power. Carpet cleaning is a three legged stool of chemistry, technique and equipment. Chemistry is what it is and advances everyday. Technique comes from training and years of experience with the technician. Equipment is really a matter of what you can afford and what’s going to work best.
_
We like truck mount because of power. We're cleaning with pressure and suction power. When cleaning carpets, you want to get them as wet as it needs to be and use lots of heat. But you also want to pull back as much of that cleaning solution as possible. The vacuum power we get from a truck mount can’t be matched with portable equipment.

Best Way to Clean Carpets in Omaha

Hi. My name is Tucker. Tucker the dog. My friend Scot at the Specialists told me there are some questions out there about the best way to clean carpets in Omaha. So I’m going to do my best to answer those questions.

The first question is – do portable machines get carpets clean? Answer – not really. You see - portable machines, including Rug Doctors, are carpet wetters…like me only a it’s a different wet. Anyhow, they have a nozzle and spray solution and have a very light duty vacuum.

But in order to really clean your carpet it needs to be down to the backing. With a portable machine, all you clean is the top of the carpet yarn. The rest just gets wet and gets pushed deeper. So it’s just a superficial clean and everything else actually gets worse. Because you don't have the vacuum power, you run the risk of developing mold and other issues down deep in your carpets. Yuk – I don’t want to roll around in that!

OK. Second question from a viewer. What’s the best equipment to use? Answer - truck mount. The advantage of using truck mount equipment is power and it’s the best way to clean carpets in Omaha. Carpet cleaning is chemistry, technique and equipment. Chemistry advances all the time. Technique is training and the technician’s ability. Equipment is what works best.

The Specialists like truck mount because of power. They're using pressure and suction to clean. Cleaning carpets means get them as wet possible and use lots of heat. Then you need to pull back as much of the cleaning solution as possible. The vacuum power from a truck mount can’t be matched with portable equipment. I also like to pee on the trucks tires.

Carpet Cleaners Omaha

Hi I’m Steve Sleeper. I recently had the Specialists carpet cleaners clean the carpets in my house and I’m here to tell you – they did a great job. Most important, my wife loves the job they did.

When the Specialists where here, I followed them around with my video camera and asked Scot, the owner, a bunch of questions about carpet cleaning and learned a lot.

Scot – how does your Carpet Cleaners Omaha equipment compare to home cleaning machines?

[Scot] You know, I joke with people about little home cleaning machines, and, it may surprise you to hear: I own one. They have a place. I use one in my house for those quick spills. If the dog makes a mess or somebody spills something on the carpet, by all means, fire up the little Bissell unit or run to the grocery store and grab a Rug doctor and clean up the mess.

But, they're not great carpet cleaners. Portable machines, including Rug Doctors, are basically, carpet wetters. They have a nozzle, they spray solution. They have a very light duty vacuum, and they're great for cleaning up a mess.

But in order to get deep down clean you need professional truck mount equipment. That gets carpet clean right down to the backing. With a portable machine, what you basically do is clean the top of that yarn. Everything else just gets wet and gets pushed deeper. So instead of cleaning it, what you get is a superficial clean. You get the top of the carpet clean. Everything else actually gets worse. And because you don't have the vacuum power, you actually run the risk of developing mold and other issues down deep in your carpets. So it could be a real problem.

[Steve] We were talking earlier off camera and you said some of the stain cleaners actually lock that stain in as opposed to getting rid of it.

[Scot] Yeah, the worst advice we give to people is to try all those home remedies. There are a lot of rumors out there on the web about over-the-counter products that say, "oh grab this and spray it on your carpet". The problem is, many of those products don't get that spot out but are pretty effective at locking stains in. So, if you don't get it out, you may have made it impossible even for us to get it out.

[Steve] Oh wow, so that's something to remember.

[Scot] It is. We always leave our customers a little bottle of spotter. It's a pH neutral spotting agent that allows us to get to those spots without risk. If you use our spotter and it doesn't get the spot out, you haven't done any damage.
