Carpet Cleaning and understanding the types of fibers

When it comes to cleaning carpet, knowing what the fiber is becomes an important factor.  Different fibers require different cleaning solutions based on the PH scale.  Such as, a wool rug would not be cleaned with the same PH solution as one for a nylon rug.  Wool is a natural fiber, from sheep, and nylon is a man-made synthetic fiber.  Wool requires a PH solution of 7; if it was cleaned with an acidic or high alkaline solution, this would damage the wool fibers.

At carpet cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet, our technicians are trained to identify carpet fibers and steam clean the carpet with the proper cleaning solution.

Upholstery Cleaning

At Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet Inc. we not only clean carpet but we also specialize in upholstery cleaning.  http://magiccarpetinc.com/upholstery-cleaning/

As certified upholstery cleaners we know the right product to use on your fabric based on the care instructions of the fabric.  Certain fabrics cannot be wet cleaned and have to be dry cleaned.  We know how to classify these fabrics and clean appropriately.  Using the wrong cleaning product could damage your piece.

Protector is a great application to apply after the upholstery has been cleaned.  This product protects the fabric from soils and spills that can saturate into the fabric fibers.  It allows you time to grab a towel and BLOT (not rub) the liquid up before it sets into the fibers.

Why do I need to have my carpet's professional cleaned when they look clean?

The common mistake most homeowners make is not having their carpets cleaned on a regular basis because visually they appear clean.  Once your carpet looks dirty, it is past the point of needing to be cleaned.  It then becomes a restoration type cleaning and the soil particles can scratch the carpet fibers causing them to look dirty even though they were just cleaned.

The importance of having your carpets cleaned by a professional& certified company every 6 to 12 months is this:  it improves air quality and sanitizes the carpet.

Carpet acts as a filter in your home, just as your HVAC unit has filters, your water filter in your refrigerator, etc.  You change these filters on a regular maintenance basis.  So why does the "carpet filter" get left behind?  Carpet filters out gases, soils and human & pet dander.  Not to mention allergens that you breathe in. Vacuuming only removes between 79 and 81% of the dry particulate matter in the carpet.  So the rest is left behind and you breathe it in.  

Now, if pets are in the house and they are scratching and rubbing around on the carpet, the carpet would need to be cleaned every 6 to 8 months.  Especially if you have small children playing on the carpet.

In Conclusion to maintain a "Healthy Home Environment" for your loved ones, have your carpets cleaned on regular basis by a Professional Certified Company that uses Truck Mounted Equipment.

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.

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.
