Carpet isn’t clean until it is Dry!

One of the most critical steps of properly cleaning carpet is the drying principle. In other words, a
carpet isn’t clean until it’s dry. A bold statement such as this was the basis of an entire article in
Contracting Profits magazine (March/April 2004).
The very first sentence of the article states, “The relationship between carpet and moisture is a
tenuous one at best. Most carpets do not react well to trapped moisture, so cleaning them becomes a
complicated balancing act between adding moisture to the fibers of the carpet to clean them without
damaging the fibers or padding underneath”. The article goes on to add that carpet cleaners must be
concerned with moisture levels and do what they can to accelerate drying time. While no carpet
cleaning system is 100% moisture-free, the key element to remember here is the amount of moisture
that is used, and also left in the carpet: “…. one of the biggest problems that excessive moisture can
cause is damage to the structural integrity of the carpet itself”. Quoted in the article is Barbra Wilson,
manager of technical information for the Carpet and Rug Institute. She states that “moisture
extraction is important because moisture that is left in the carpet can make the carpet de-laminate,
which means the backing comes apart”. Phil Auserehl, president of Castle Cleaning & Rug Company
in Berthoud, Colorado adds “If you saturate carpet, it will start penetrating all of the way into the
carpet, and that is the ‘no-no’ – you don’t want the inner workings of the carpet’s construction to get
wet”. Contamination and traffic on wet carpet need to be considered as well, and are commented on
by Greg Chancey, president of Denver-based All-Dry Cleaning: “If the carpet stays wet, it can mold
and mildew, damaging the carpet fibers and backing, as well as creating a health hazard”, and “if the
carpet is still moist and it has traffic before it is dry, then the carpet is more apt to get dirty at a faster
rate”. At 12-24 hours as a standard range for carpet to dry after it has been cleaned, that is an awfully
long time to keep all traffic out of highly used rooms and walkways. NaturalDry Carpet Cleaning Services in Las Vegas offers all low moisture cleaning solutions.
Most carpet cleaners will utilize or advise additional equipment such as extractors, dehumidifiers, and
fans in order to accelerate drying after the cleaning process has taken place. All of this adds expense
and lengthens the amount of time it takes to actually clean your carpets completely. Because “the dry
guys” use the HOST Dry Extraction System, “dry” means that your carpets are left clean AND DRY as
we pull out of your driveway. No kidding. The HOST Dry Extraction System allows deep, yet gentle
cleaning of your carpet fibers with less than 1 teaspoon of water per square foot – no saturation, and
the backing stays dry. We don’t need to mess with fans and dehumidifiers, because there is never a
moisture problem in the first place.

Why businesses need commercial carpet cleaning

As a business, you’ve got a lot to deal with every day in order to make sure that things are running smoothly —scheduling meetings, checking emails, and making sure customers are completely satisfied with the product or service you have to offer. With all these obligations, having a mess occur on your carpeting or flooring is the last thing you have time to think about. And let’s be honest: accident and messes are simply a fact of life! There will be times when coffee gets spilled, rainy days print footprints into your office, and other general soils. For all of these situations, you might scramble to have an intern or secretary do their best to clean things up. However, more time becomes lost as a result of diverting their work! What’s a business to do?

Choose the professionals at NaturalDry Carpet Cleaning Las Vegas

1. To keep an clean, healthy inviting environment.

Every business needs to present a clean, safe environment for customers and prospective clients. If the floors are sticky or full of stains, those people are going to have a less desirable first impression. A commercial cleaning service can take care of that by making sure your carpet, drapes, upholstery, and tile is kept in amazing condition.

2. To rely upon years of experience.

When an employee tries to take care of a stain or mess, they usually only tackle the surface problem. That is, they may have seemingly taken care of things, but have failed to clean the dirt, dust, and grime that lies beneath! Even sometimes bleaching out carpet with different products they try to use to clean the stain. When you work with our team of professional Las Vegas Carpet Cleaners, we hit every crevice and corner to eliminate the problem entirely, and not just the top layer where the stain is present.

3. Consistency.

You know that feeling you get after you’ve just finished doing a bunch of cleaning around your house? That moment of bliss where you stand back, take a deep sigh, and feel like everything is taken care of? That same feeling is just as important for your office or place of work! Setting up a cleaning schedule gives you the peace of mind in knowing that you can focus on business while we handle the carpet cleaning. After our initial deep cleaning, maintenance will be so easy! There won’t be any uncertainty about how the job is done either—you’ll have experts that you can rely on!

3 Reasons to Keep Your Carpet Clean!

Carpets are exposed to constant wear and tear from people, pets and more.  Here are the top 3 reasons why you should hire a professional carpet cleaner the next time you need to combat dirt in your carpets and rugs.
<strong>
Saves Time</strong>

When you clean your carpets yourself, you have to move the furniture, vacuum all of the carpets, spot treat your carpet to remove stains, apply pre-treatment solution to your carpet, fill and empty the tanks, and carry and cleaning the equipment when you are done. That is to much! Using a professional service like NaturalDry Carpet Cleaning Las Vegas means an experienced technician takes care of all of this, saving you time and a trip to the chiropractor.

<strong>Expertise</strong>

These services are usually equipped with machines that make the entire floor cleaning process go much more quickly.  They tend to have wheels that are designed not to leave marks, and a rubber bumper for the protection of furniture and walls. Brushes and pads can be attached, as well.  Depending on the kind of dirt and the type of hard surface, these machines can switch tasks and go from washing to polishing based on the attachments and setting.  Technicians  undergo a training program for the operation of the machines and stay on top of industry advancements.  Some businesses also specialize in repair and may be able to remove small scratches or chips, or at least make them less noticeable. Services and Pricing listed upfront. No bait and switch type cleaning!
<strong>
Protects Your Investments</strong>
The flooring in your home is a big investment in the health and comfort of your family. Over time the same contaminants that reside in the fibers can begin to break them down, particularly in higher traffic areas as each footstep causes friction.

An improperly maintained carpet will show wear and tear and will require replacing much sooner than one cleaned regularly, helping to protect and prolong your investment.
