Upholstery Cleaner

There are as many types of carpet cleaning equipment as there are types of carpet. Most people don’t have the wide variety of specialty equipment and supplies necessary to thoroughly clean every type of carpet. Generally, most people own a vacuum cleaner or duster, and that is all. Anything more complicated is rented, or professional cleaners are hired to do the job. In fact, many people with extensive wall-to-wall carpeting hire cleaners one to four times a year to come and give their carpets a thorough scrubbing to remove all the accumulated dirt.

There are several main types of carpeting and rugs, each one requiring a specific type of carpet cleaning equipment to clean properly. These types of carpeting are:

• Shag
• Berber
• Oriental rugs
• Antique rugs
• Area rugs

Carpet Cleaning Equipment and Supplies Maintained by Professionals

Some professional cleaning companies sell supplies or rent equipment to customers, such as stain removers and steam cleaners. Others simply come into the customer’s home to do the job from start to finish. Most companies make an initial visit to give an estimate of how much a particular job will cost. A handful of companies offer satisfaction guarantees on their work. An even fewer number put sealant on the carpet to keep dirt off of it between cleanings.
