Have you ever used a carpet scrubber or steam cleaner on your rugs and loved the way they looked after cleaning, but then you noticed just a few weeks later how dirty they look again?
While it may seem convenient to clean your rugs using a carpet scrubber or carpet steam cleaner, you might be doing more damage than good. The shampoo these machines require may not be appropriate for all rug types–they may be too strong or too weak. They can leave behind soaps and other residue, which ultimately just attracts more dirt to your rug making it appear dirtier than before cleaning.
DIY cleaning machines might be good in a pinch, but in the long run, professional rug cleaners have the equipment and experience to really get the dirt out. It takes time and patience to vacuum, shampoo, and rinse rugs properly. Sometimes we have to rinse a rug three or four times to make sure no soap or shampoos have been left behind.
So while your at-home machines may save you a little money, you are spending more time and effort to clean your rugs. Let the professionals at Shaheen Rug Cleaning and Repair take care of your rugs.
