Carpet Cleaning

Carpet cleaning is not always possible, because not every owner of such a floor covering has such a device in his arsenal of household appliances. In this case, people often go to the car wash, where they offer such services. Is such cleaning effective?

Advantages and disadvantages, as well as important nuances of contacting a car wash:

• Handling such a problem in a car wash, you save your strength and nerves. You just have to take care of transporting the flooring. This is quite a significant plus of this choice of cleaning.
• Make sure that your carpet after drying will not dry in a suspended state, because such a location can lead to deformation of the material.
• One of the basic rules for choosing a car wash to clean the carpet is its remoteness from a major highway. Otherwise, during drying, the flooring absorbs particles of asphalt and toxic dust.
• Specialists working in a car wash do not always have the necessary qualifications, and chemicals for cleaning the inside of a car can cause irreparable damage to the carpet pile and the base of the decorative coating. Therefore, you should make sure that the car wash workers have sufficient knowledge and guarantee their work.

Important! If the carpet is excessively affected by moisture, its base is deformed, the glue will become sour, and the pile may fade. Threads under high water pressure can unwind and form heterogeneous patches on the coating. All this can lead not only to the loss of the appearance of the carpet, but also can cause an allergic reaction in humans.
