Carpet Cleaning & Restoration

Each has its advantages, depending on your needs. Nylon is durable, resilient, and resistant to wear and is a great choice for areas with heavy foot or pet traffic. It is also better at resisting stains and fading than polyester, although generally, it’s more expensive. Polyester is softer underfoot and generally less expensive. It does resist water-based stains well, but the material is less durable than nylon and should be restricted to lower-traffic areas. In the end, which will serve you best depends on your specific needs.

Carpet moths are typically attracted to natural fibers such as wool, silk, and fur, where they lay their eggs. The larvae, not the adult moths, cause the most damage as they feed on these fibers. Contributing factors to infestations include infrequent cleaning, the presence of pet hair, and moisture, which provide an ideal environment for larvae. Regular cleaning and monitoring are essential to prevent and manage carpet moth infestations.

A carpet remnant is the piece of carpet left over from the main roll after greater parts have been installed. These remnants usually go for cheap and can be used for purposes of low budget to make rugs, runners, or carpet small rooms. Though they are leftovers, their quality is just as good as those from a full roll.

Generally, carpet cleaners cannot be used on tile floors. Mechanisms that work to clean the fibers of the carpet can damage tile surfaces or the grout between tiles. Besides that, too, the solution used for cleaning carpets may not be too effective or safe on tile flooring. It’s best to use a tile cleaner or any steam cleaner that’s safe for hard surfaces.

Yes, you can use a handheld steam cleaner on carpets, but it best fits just for spot cleaning rather than the full cleaning of the carpet. Handheld steam cleaners are quite good for small stain treatments or high-traffic areas. Deep cleaning would need either the services of a full-sized steam cleaner or a professional service.
