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.
