Frequently asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers

What is the best carpet cleaning method?

1^st ? what is the best carpet cleaning method! Lets look at this 1^st

Dry cleaning consist of apply a dry chemical on the carpet and working it in then vacuuming it out with a vacuum cleaner.

Some will scrub it in others will rake it in., Another dryclean technique is to use white round pads get theme real hoot in a water bach then use them to clean the carpet. The most important part of dry cleaning is vacuuming the carpet really well before doing anything to it. Hen when there done they will vacuum it again.

The problem I see with this is extracting out the Dirt from the fiber! You be the judge.

2^nd technique is shampooing the carpet. This is the original way but once again no extracting the fiber dirt.

3 the different techniques of Steam Cleaning

Steam cleaning without prespraying the carpet just steam cleaning it. This technique just doesn’t work because your not breaking up the stain or dirt that is in the fiber and rest assured the stain or dick will wick through
Steam cleaning with detergent will get it clean but there leaving a lot residue behind in the carpet which will cause the carpet to stsin much faster.

Lets look at how washing your cloths compares to cleaning your carpet

The steps in cleaning your cloths is you 1^st put the chemical in the wash machine 2^nd you put the clothes in there to be washhhed

3^rd you put the water in too m,ix with the water Hot Water

4^th phase the wash machine will then agitate the clothes for about 20 minutes breaking up the soils and stains in the clothing

5 then it will start to rinse out all the dirty water in the tub *

Now imagine if your clothes didn’t riiinse out all that soli and stains and even the chemical! Your clothes would still smell and the dirt would still be in them.

Cleaning Carpet is a lot like cleaning clothes but you can see each stage of the cleaning being done.

Here is how All Colors Carpet Cleaning Indianapolis stretching-Repaiiirs does it!

1^st we make sure the customer has a chance to vacuum the carpet thoroughly before we arrive. Then w determine what it is the customer needs as far as chemicals in the pre-spray to get the job done. The one thing we always prove is odor treatment in the solution. Then a degreaser then a protein stain remover and then a brightner to brighten things up in the carpet. If the customer has urine in the carpet THEN everything changes. Then everything is about acid cleaners and treatments. We also will then put the urine treatment in the water tank as well and stronger odor treatment to.

Once I am done pre spray then we agitate the carpet with ta floor machine. The idea is to gently agitate the fiver depending on what I am up agains’t determines what kind of brush I will use.

After the agitation then we start to bring in the solution vacuum to the furthest point where we start from.

3 the industry IICRC teaches you spray and vacuum as you bringing it back towards you then start anther roll. I add to that I belive you should go back over the section you just cleaned and vacuum it up. ( assuring better dry time )

How do you remove pet urine odor from carpets?

Answer: Urine turns into salt particles when in the carpet or floor and must be treated accordingly to remove from whatever source it comes into contact with. Sometimes white vinegar will remove the salts but it takes more then that to make a difference.

What All Colors Carpet Cleaning does is 1st pre-spray it heavily with a Urine treatment. 2nd we agitate it with a deep scrub working the chemical into the fiber and breaking up the urine salts, 3rd next step is we Rinse out everything with a Deep steam clean which has an odor counteractant to it. Sometimes its necessary to disinfect the fiber again even though we put the odor counteractant in the water solution. (Note) going over the carpet with regular carpet cleaning chemicals is just going to make the odor worse so i recommend you don’t do that.

How bad is bad to when you have to replace the carpet? When it has a dark yellow stain to it and there are several of them then you will know the carpet can’t be saved and the flooring has to be treated with kilz stain blocker before installing any flooring at all whether carpet or tiles or planks. If your in doupt pull up a corner of the carpet and see if there is yellow spots on the back of the carpet

Urine odor and salts will settle mostly in the pad and floor so we recommend as well you consider replacing the pad if you plan on keeping the carpet for a while. We do pad replacement as well

How often should I have my carpets cleaned?

Answer: There are elements that make a carpet dirty then it looks and those come from the a/c and Heater so make sure you keep your filters clean

2.Dry soil will settle in the carpet and eventually stain the fibers.

3. Walking bare foot is most likely the worse thing you can do for carpet because of the oils in our skin and if you have dogs they have a lot of oils and dirt on there paws and skin that build up. Just pay attention to where they lay and your traffic patterns you walk all the time. You will notice the carpet lays down a lot there so make sure you vacuum at least 2 times if not every other day

4. Clothing especially when you come home from work have them change there clothes. Furniture is known for oils and carpet dry soils

Carpet or Upholstery protection should be applied after the carpet cleaning but only if its Nylon. BERBER or polyester – polypropylene ” Don’t need Gard ” it will vacuum all off
