This is truly outstanding. You just committed yourself to hosting out of town relatives next week. "No problem! We'd love for you to bring the baby for a visit!" This will be their first visit to your home, and you soon realize that their first impression may not be good.

The house seems a little dreary, and you certainly don’t have time to paint. You do, however, have enough time to get your carpet cleaned. Cleaning your carpet is the quickest way to get your house smelling fresh and looking clean.

Many different methods are available. The cheapest and fastest method is to buy spray-on foam shampoo that comes in a can. The foam is sprayed and then spread around with a damp mop. The foam then loosens up the dirt and can be vacuumed away after it is dry. This method is okay for spot treating, but it is not very effective to get an entire house clean and fresh.

The residential electric carpet cleaner is another option. A cleaning solution is sprayed directly onto the carpet and then you suck it up. It is better than spray-on foam products by only a small margin. The limited ability of the machine to extract water from the carpet is its downfall. However, you should be careful and do your best to avoid over wetting your carpet, as this is a common problem. Plenty of time is needed for the carpet to dry.

You will get a bit more extraction power from the carpet cleaning machines that can be rented at the grocery store. One of the most common problems with a rented machine is that the previous user failed to clean it well before returning it. The high powered machine can be cumbersome because, by the time you finish the job and load the machine back into your car, you will probably be asking yourself why you didn't just call someone to do it for you.

Using a professional carpet cleaner is the wise thing to do. Professional carpet cleaners force hot water and cleaning solutions through the carpet fibers. Then, with applied pressure, it is all extracted or sucked back into the cleaner's machine with powerful motors. Due to the high pressure with which the solutions are applied, water is typically forced into the carpet pad where it remains. This in turn can leave a soapy residue behind that can be a breeding ground for mold.

Chem-Dry uses a powerful method of carpet cleaning. Using a low-pressure applicator with a patented carbonation cleaner, Chem-Dry technicians allow the millions of bubbles to lift all the dirt and grime to the surface, where it can be removed forever. Along with the dirt and water, this carbonating system can also remove allergens, chemicals, pet dander, bacteria, and whatever else is lurking in the carpet. Since their system requires less water, the carpet rapidly dries out.

A big step in preparing for the arrival of company is to clean your carpet, and a clean carpet will insure a great first impression.
