As a professional in the carpet cleaning industry, I have seen many customers struggle with maintaining their carpets after a cleaning service. It's understandable - you want to keep your carpets looking fresh and clean for as long as possible. That's why I'm here to provide you with some tips and advice on what to do after a professional carpet cleaning. The first and most important tip is to stay away from the carpet until it is completely dry. While we use powerful fans to dry the fibers during the cleaning process, the carpet is likely to still be damp when we leave.
It's crucial to remove as much moisture as possible to prevent any damage or mold growth. One way to speed up the drying process is by using fans. Any type of fan, whether it's a ceiling fan or a box fan, will help circulate the air and carry away the moisture that evaporates from the carpet. The drying time for most professional cleaning services ranges from four to 24 hours, but with low humidity processes like our Citrus Fresh system, it can take as little as two hours. It's also important to note that moving furniture back onto the carpet before it is completely dry can cause damage to the fibers and transfer stains from furniture finishes. So be patient and wait until the carpet is fully dry before moving any furniture back. If you have any questions about what to do after a carpet cleaning, don't hesitate to ask your technician during the final tour.
They will be more than happy to provide you with any additional information or tips. At Citrus Fresh Carpet Cleaning, we use a safe and plant-based cleaning solution for both residential and commercial carpets. And our services don't end with just cleaning - we also provide tracking information and use appropriate cleaning agents to ensure your carpets are cleaned in accordance with regulations and specifications. One important step to maintaining your carpets after a professional cleaning is regular vacuuming. This helps to lift the carpet fibers and maintain their softness and fluffiness. It's best to start vacuuming soon after the cleaning is done to prevent any dirt or debris from settling back into the carpet. So, to sum it up, here are the steps you should follow after a professional carpet cleaning:
- Stay away from the carpet until it is completely dry
- Use fans to speed up the drying process
- Don't move furniture back until the carpet is fully dry
- Ask your technician for any additional tips or information
- Vacuum regularly to maintain the softness and fluffiness of your carpets
And if you haven't already, be sure to schedule your next carpet cleaning after your current one ends for maximum results.
