How often do you have your Carpets Cleaned?

For residential customers, the leading carpet manufacturers recommend that you have your carpets cleaned by a professional company using hot water extraction every 6 to 8 months. This increases the life of the carpet and keeps your home environment healthier for your family. Dirt and other foreign matter in your carpet can scratch and distort your carpet fibers. They will lay differently and reflect light in a different way. This reflection of light will cause the carpet to appear dirty when its actually clean. (This is the case if it was just cleaned by the professionals at Magic Carpet) At Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet, Inc. we can put you on a Maintenance Program that will keep you on the right track to a healthier home environment and keep your cleanings as a maintenance clean vs. a restoration cleaning. Once your carpets are in the restorative type cleaning, making them look newer longer is harder to achieve. For more information, visit our website.

How To Remove Red Clay from Carpet

As Georgia Residents we are all familiar with Georgia's Red Clay. Since Red Clay is a mineral it is very possible that it will wash right out of your carpet with the basic steps of carpet cleaning using hot water extraction. However, sometimes this mineral can be stubborn and actually cause some staining. At Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet Inc. we will precondition those areas to maximize the best stain lifting abilities and use a rinse to assure that all the clay is flushed out of the carpet. If a certain area does show some staining we are always able to repair the carpet in those areas. Please see our website for additional information.

Hot Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning Dry Time

A recent customer of ours decided to try out our service and the "hot water extraction carpet cleaning" method. For years, the family had used a "dry cleaning" method instead. To much of their surprise, the carpet looks 10 times better and 7 years newer. They were thrilled with the end result and now have become believers of our method. But a question and a concern of the customer was that it took all day to dry. This unfortunately is the nature of the beast. During hot water extraction the carpet is injected with water under pressure and the excess is removed out of the carpet. However, the carpet remains wet. On average it takes between 6-8 hours to dry completely. Better air flow in the home will help the carpet dry faster. Turn on the HVAC unit and ceiling fans. The carpet will only feel "cold" to the touch, or damp feeling to your feet. You are able to walk on the carpet when cleaning is complete. However at Carpet Cleaning Atlanta at Magic Carpet Inc. we recommend that you stay off the carpet as long as possible to avoid soiling the fibers when wet. To avoid dirt and fluids from penetrating the fibers, you might want to consider the Teflon Carpet Protector application. This creates an invisible barrier that repels soils, oils, and fluids from penetrating the fibers and causing spots and stains. For more information please visit our website.

Removing Carpet Allergens with Carpet Cleaning

Do you or a family member suffer from allergies or asthma? Carpet cleaning using hot water extraction (steam cleaning) can eliminate allergens from the carpet and help make a healthier home environment for your family. At Carpet Cleaning Atlanta at Magic Carpet Inc. we use a high efficient truck mounted equipment that will remove those dust allergens and sanitize the carpet that vacuuming is unable to remove. Vacuuming will only remove 79% of dry particulate matter. For more information please visit our website:

Wool Area Rug Carpet Cleaning

Wool is a natural fiber and is able to be wet cleaned. However, since it is a natural fiber once it is cleaned wet it will start to smell like a wet dog. At Magic Carpet, we are certified in cleaning textiles such as wool area rugs. Once these rugs are cleaned, they undergo a deodorization process and are speed dried. End result, a clean wool rug with no odor. A lot of Area/Oriental Rugs come into our shop with pet urine damage. This urine just like in the carpet in your house can be removed with additional steps. If a pet or vacuum cleaner has damaged the fringe on the rug, Magic Carpet can remove and replace the fringe or rebind the rug.

Hot Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning

Hot water extraction carpet cleaning is the recommended preferred method of carpet cleaning by the leading carpet manufacturers. A "preconditioning" treatment is used to breakdown soils in the carpet prior to carpet cleaning. At Magic Carpet we use a rinsing agent as well through the truck mount that helps remove excess soils and waste from the carpet to eliminate re soiling issues. This extra step and product is not used by all truck mounted carpet cleaning companies. The carpet is slightly wet and should be feel "cold" or damp to the touch when cleaning is complete. Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet recommends you stay off the carpet if possible after cleaning, however, you are able to walk on it if needed. The carpet will dry faster with good air flow in the home. Turn on ceiling fans and HVAC units. Never open windows in the Atlanta area especially as its humid and this damp air will not help carpets dry faster, it will take longer for complete dry time.
