Are professional carpet cleaning services worth it?

We get asked this question a lot and the answer is unequivocally yes. When a professional gets finished with your carpets, you will be astounded by the results. It can bring even the dirtiest material with the most stubborn stains, back to life and make it look brand new again.

However not every company is able to deliver these kinds of results. It requires the very best commercial grade equipment and technicians, with both experience and training, to get perfect results.

Thankfully Emerald Carpet Cleaning are widely regarded as the market leaders.

What is the most effective stain removal method?

Many homeowners incorrectly believe that shampooing is the best method for removing dirt and stains. The cheap machines you can rent or buy in hardware stores are usually shampoo machines. However they are largely useless especially for dust mite elimination.

They use special detergents that are applied with plenty of water. The machine uses bristles that continuously rotate and scrub the carpet to remove dirt and stains. Unfortunately it’s not particularly effective and can take a very long time to dry. It also has the added side effect of often leaving behind a sticky residue which makes the carpet get dirtier even faster than before. A very bad result.

A second method that is not very popular is dry cleaning. Powdered detergents are applied with just a small amount of water. This requires a special machine to then suck the powder and debris from the fibres. The chemicals used are quite pungent and can be toxic. This is only ever really used in offices and other commercial buildings where the utmost priority is that the carpeting can be walked on immediately after.

The very best method is to use a steam cleaner machine also known as hot water extraction for your couch or sofa cleaning. This method will remove well over 99% of dirt, allergens, dander and dust mites from any material, drastically improving air quality in your home. We would highly recommend this solution for 100% satisfaction.

Using this method, high pressure heated water is applied to the carpet. It penetrates deep and works to effectively free up dirt, debris and other stubborn mud and dander. It’s excellent for anyone who might have allergies as this method quickly and easily removes pollen, dust mite eggs, mildew and mold. It’s also beneficial for people who may be sensitive to particular cleaning solutions. These characteristics make it excellent method for upholstery and mattress cleaning.

This method also has four other major benefits. Firstly it removes stubborn dirt that usually require deep cleaning from deep within the fibres instead of just masking the smell with shampoo. Secondly, it dries quickly which also prevents any new odours forming. Thirdly, it’s a very fast process meaning the disruption of your life is extremely minimal. Last but not least, hot water extraction will make the fibres of your rug become fluffier making it feel better to walk on and also look like new again. It can remove almost any stain in your house.

In extreme cases we will use a specially formulated foaming cleanser. This foam sits on the upholstery and as it bubbles and expands it causes even the very most tough dirt to be freed from the fibres. We use steam extraction to remove the foam so that everything dries very quickly.

How often should carpet be professionally cleaned?

This is largely a personal preference. We have many clients who hire us every 3-6 months as they have homes or offices prone to soiling. This can be for many reasons. Sometimes they value cleanliness or have allergies that they want to keep under control. Smokers also typically wish to hire a carpet cleaner more often. If you have children in the home then you can imagine that this will require more regular service. And the very same thing applies with pets. Cats and dog s are every bit a part of the family, but they also are prone to little accidents when they are young or very old. Pet hair and dander also easily gets trapped within the fibres and can contribute to allergic reactions.

However the standard advice is do it every 12 months. This works best for most homes and families at keeping dirt, stains, odours, mould and mildew at bay.

Do you vacuum first when doing carpet and upholstery cleaning services?

Some low class professionals do not vacuum first nor do they know how take care of new carpet. This is often due to laziness or poor training. They believe that the machines will do the work of sucking up the heaviest dust.

This is a huge mistake however and our technicians always take the time and put in the effort to thoroughly vacuum every square inch.

If you are in search of the greatest Dublin carpet cleaners then this is essential for the very best results. We use commercial grade vacuum cleaners for even better dirt removal. The reason vacuuming first is important, is because it fluffs the fibres which allows steam to more easily get deep. It also serves to loosen and dislodge dander and debris. Another important consideration is that it means less water tank refills saving time and cost for you the customer. Finally it allows our technician to remove small bits of debris from the ground like elastic bands, hair ties, small bits of plastic or small toys, which again would greatly slow down the process incurring more costs.

What do I need to do to prepare my home?

For best results you should de-clutter as much as possible before our techs arrive. This means taking items off the floor such as toys, clothes, shoes etc.

You should also move furniture out of the rooms that you are having cleaned. Our techs will clean around furniture that is left in place.

For added safety its recommended to temporarily remove items like picture, frames, antiques, vases or any other items that might be knocked over easily and that are valuable or breakable.

Before we begin your service we carry out a thorough inspection to identify any potential trouble areas especially with stains on wool carpets. This is a great time for you to point out any specific issues such as stains or odours and to explain what caused them. This will help our technician to use the correct detergent and will maximise the results you get.

How long does it take to dry?

Hot water extraction uses extremely powerful suction to suck the water from your carpet or rug. This means that afterwards it will only be slightly damp to the touch. But it can take anywhere from 5-10 hours for it to dry completely. The exact length of time will depend on a number of factors. These include the level of humidity, the temperature of the room and the level of air circulation you have.

In colder weather you should turn up the heat to reduce drying times. Any types of fan or dehumidifier will also help. Another smart idea is to open some windows and doors to keep fresh air circulating through your home.

How soon can I walk on my carpet?

We never leave your home until everything is 100% dry enough to walk or sit on.

Can pet odours be eliminated?

We are one of the services that are extremely adept at removing light to medium pet odours and stains from pet accidents. However in some circumstances the damage can be too severe even for a specialist service like us.

This happens in cases where the urine or soiling has been left to sit and has soaked deep into the sub-flooring or padding. Or where your pet has urinated in the same area continuously.

In this case there is nothing anyone can really do to remove the odour. You will need to either replace your carpet or avail of a restoration service.

How Do I Find Great ‘Carpet Cleaning Near Me’?

There are a number of key things to look for when judging whether to hire. We have listed the most important things to look out for below:

Full Insurance Cover

It’s vitally important that they have the proper insurance. They need public liability insurance and employer’s liability insurance. This will give you the peace of mind you need. If something gets damaged in your home, you will be reimbursed fully. And if the worst happens and someone gets injured in your home or office, you won’t be on the hook for any medical bills!

Highly Experienced

There is a lot to learn and you need knowledgeable staff. You need to use the right equipment and detergents in the right amounts on the right fabrics. If you get it wrong your carpeting, rugs or upholstery could be destroyed. This can happen for example, if you use too much water or steam that is to hot. Both common problems with inexperienced staff.

Transparent Pricing

Some rogue operators like to use hidden charges and spring them on your right at the end. Or worse they’ll quote you a low price on the phone and then invent excuses why they need to increase the cost. This is disgusting and we at Emerald Carpet Cleaning will never do this. We always give our quote upfront and never change it no matter what!

Trusted and Vetted

We can offer references and phone numbers of previous clients who you can call and find out for yourself how good our service is. Also be sure to check out our large number of reviews on Google, Facebook and of course on our website. We also only use the very best machines.

Guaranteed Satisfaction

Make sure that whomever you hire offers a strong money back guarantee on their services. If they aren’t willing to stand by their work and make their clients happy, this is a red flag. Our guarantee is iron-clad, we will return and fix any areas you are unhappy with, at no charge. But if you are still unsatisfied we will give you 100% of your money back, no questions asked. Beat that!

Easy Booking and Scheduling

With our website you can get a quote, pick a day and time that suits you and pay securely all from the comfort of your phone, laptop or desktop computer using our secure online platform. Simple.

The Difference Between Dublin Carpet Cleaning Amateurs And Professionals

If you don’t feel a sense of professionalism with the company you have contacted, then walk away. They should also be helping you care for your carpet after your carpet cleaning. Here is quick list of the biggest red flags of an unprofessional service:

Slow Communication

If a company doesn’t answer its phones, live chats or takes ages to reply to emails, this is a red flag. They obviously don’t care about your business! Avoiding these types is something we would highly recommend.

Poor Phone Manner

Are the operators abrupt and impolite on the phone? Do they seem annoyed that you called? This is another sign to get out and call a proper carpet cleaner.

Fixed Address

Does the service advertise their office address prominently on their website or is it hidden? Is the address an office or someone’s home? If its a residential address that could be a bad sign of an amateur company with little experience.

Hidden Costs

Are there small little hidden fees that they aren’t upfront about? Or do you feel like you are being nickel and dimed? Then put down the phone and call a trusted and reliable professional carpet cleaning company like us!

Ask to See Proof of Insurance

Every company will tell you they have insurance but many don’t actually bother getting it. Ask to see proof of their policy and what it covers. We will email our full insurance details including policy number so you can verify its authenticate independently.
