Why should you not wash the carpets yourself?
Despite all the cleaning devices available in stores and the detergents you can buy from supermarkets to clean your carpets, you might think, “Great! Now I can clean all those stains, dirt, and debris from my carpet myself without needing a professional carpet cleaning service!”
Or perhaps you’re asking yourself, “Why should I even bother taking my carpet to a professional cleaner?” Well, let me give you a few reasons why you shouldn’t wash your carpet at home!
Reasons to Trust Professional Carpet Cleaning Companies
First of all, attempting to clean your carpet yourself can lead to wasting your valuable time and hard-earned money!
When you use a store-bought carpet cleaning machine, your carpet often ends up overly wet and damp. This excess moisture gets trapped in the carpet fibers, and if your home is warm, it can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, causing an unpleasant musty odor.
Additionally, too much moisture can cause unsightly brown stains to appear on your carpet. The machines you buy from stores simply don’t have the power needed for deep cleaning. Only the equipment used by professional carpet cleaning companies can achieve that level of cleanliness.

Carpets that you wash yourself often become stiff after drying.
They may also need to be cleaned again to remove lingering odors and residues. The carpet padding can absorb the excess water left by store-bought machines, leading to a permanent odor in your carpet.
In the long run, this can end up costing you a lot of money.
After washing your carpet yourself, it might look dull and dirty. If there are large stains caused by pet urine, don’t try to clean them on your own. Household machines aren’t powerful enough to effectively remove the odor and stains from pet urine. These machines lack the strength to fully eliminate the bacteria and urine residue, and they can’t generate the high temperatures needed to kill the bacteria living in the carpet fibers (a capability only found in professional carpet cleaning equipment). If pet urine has deeply penetrated the carpet padding, you may need to replace it; otherwise, bacteria will continue to grow, leaving you with a dirty, foul-smelling home.
With all this in mind, it’s best to entrust your carpet cleaning to reputable professional carpet cleaning companies. These companies have specialized equipment that is perfectly suited for cleaning carpets, ensuring they are cleaned thoroughly, without any damage, and in the shortest possible time, all at a reasonable cost.
