There are a variety of reasons why an Omaha homeowner may decide to call a professional provider for carpet cleaning help. One reason is if the carpet in someone’s home looks dingy and worn out. Another possible reason is if a homeowner’s pet has an accident on the carpet. Sharp Carpet & Air Duct Cleaning also receives calls from plenty of homeowners who need help getting large stains out of their carpet.
If you call a carpet cleaning professional because you have one or more noticeable stains on your carpet, it’s important to understand that there is the potential for the stains to return after the cleaning is done. Although that may come as a surprise, Sharp Carpet & Air Duct Cleaning is going to explain exactly why it happens, as well as what you can do about it.
Everything You Need to Know About Wicking
When a homeowner has their carpet professionally cleaned, there’s a chance that one or more of the stains that were removed during the cleaning will return. If this occurs, it’s referred to as wicking. The reason that wicking can occur even when carpet is properly cleaned is because carpet consists of more than one layer.
Stepping on any of the carpet in your home actually means that you’re stepping on a top layer, carpet fibers, carpet backing, carpet pad and the flooring underneath. Since there are so many layers, a large spill that occurs on the carpet may soak all the way into one of the bottom layers.
Professional Carpet Cleaning Does Go Deep Into Carpet
If you’ve ever tried any type of DIY carpet cleaning, you may have been disappointed to discover that your carpet still looked dirty. The problem with most forms of DIY cleaning is they don’t actually get down into the carpet fibers (also referred to as the pile). But because dirt and other debris can get trapped in the pile, they can remain dirty even after DIY cleaning attempts are completed.
One of the many benefits of professional carpet cleaning is we’re able to get dirt and other debris out of the pile. While our hot water extraction method of cleaning provides a deep clean, it doesn’t go into the carpet backing, carpet pad or flooring. The simple reason why is doing so would damage the carpet.
