Do Rugs Deserve Professional Cleaning or Should You DIY?

It doesn’t matter how diligent you are about maintaining the cleanliness in your home. At least every year, your carpets and rugs require deep cleaning to eliminate dirt and debris that have settled deeper into the fibres and keep it looking good for years.

 

When you have to clean your rugs, you primarily have two options to go to: hire a professional or do it yourself. There are great arguments between the two methods. So, in this article, we go into more detail about how effective each can be so as to help you determine whether professional cleaning is necessary.

 

Rug Cleaning: DIY vs Professional

 

DIY Rug Cleaning

If you decide to deep clean your rugs yourself, it’s likely that the method you’ll use would be to spot clean stains using either homemade solutions or store-bought chemicals. Following this, you can rent a rug cleaning machine for use around your home. When done correctly, it can result in your rug looking clean and pristine again.

 

Rental equipment can set you back for about $35-$50 per day. So, if you’re looking to cut on costs, going the DIY route can potentially save you money in exchange for your time and effort. But, as mentioned, it’s critical to do it right as you run the risk of damaging the rug. If it happens, you may end up spending more money to have the rug repaired or replaced.

 

What’s more, because rugs are made of different types of materials, they tend to have different requirements in terms of the products and methods to employ – and unawareness to them may result in failure to provide the individualised care they need.

 

Other Risks of DIY Rug Cleaning

Here are some other risks involved with cleaning the rug by yourself:

  • Colour fading
  • Colour bleeding
  • Fringing and fraying
  • Shrinking
  • Oversaturating the rug, resulting in mould and mildew growth

 

Professional Rug Cleaning

Professional cleaners, on the other hand, deliver effective rug cleaning services and products so the result is a beautifully restored rug without the risks of shrinkage, frays or other damage that may arise from doing the cleaning yourself.

 

This rug cleaning method is often assumed to be costly, inconvenient and unnecessary. But, what you should know is that professional rug cleaning companies invest in research to provide excellent and safe rug cleaning services to your home.

 

Because rug cleaning technicians have years of practice in handling different types of rug and challenging conditions, you can rest easy knowing that your rug is handled by professionals who understand exactly which products and methods to use in order to keep your rugs protected.

 

The Benefits of Professional Rug Cleaning

Although significantly more expensive than DIY cleaning, using professional rug cleaning can make the most out of your investment by helping in:

  • Reviving your area rug
  • Preserving its colour
  • Eliminating stains and odours
  • Reducing the effects of wear
  • Extending the life of your rug
  • Improving air quality in your home
