Why a Carpet Steam Cleaner?
If you find it hard to get excited about the humble carpet steam cleaner then I ask you to read on and think again. About three years ago I bought my first house and it came with cream carpet throughout that was probably already about five years old; certainly it had seen better days. I did consider right there and then taking it all up and re-carpeting through out. However, as a first time buyer, I wasn’t flush with money and my wife had already set a new kitchen as the top priority for our savings. Moreover the property was set over three floors and there was a lot of carpet to replace.
Within a couple of months the cream carpet wasn’t really cream anymore and I wasn’t feeling very house proud. I called up a professional carpet cleaning service who used commercial carpet steam cleaners and to be honest I wasn’t that confident that the end result would be worth the money. Long story short it was almost like getting a brand new carpet! When they had finished there wasn’t a mark to be seen and the place smelt considerably better; carpets can really hold in odors. So that was the good news and if you need an emergency clean I would recommend you get some professional cleaners round.
On the downside four months later and the carpets were starting to look a little shabby again. Lets be clear here – light colored carpets are going to get dirty there’s no avoiding it, and I couldn’t afford a steam cleaning service every four months. By this point though I was convinced that steam cleaning was the way to go and decided on a carpet steam cleaner rental. That really was the turning point, the results were just as impressive with the only downside being that I had to do the work, but for the money I was saving that extra effort a few times a year was well worth it.
From there it didn’t take much for me to realise that I should buy my own steam cleaner. This took me on a journey of research looking for the best carpet steam cleaner at the best price and ultimately to me creating this website. I’m a bit cautious when it comes to an important purchase and tend to procrastinate, I can’t bear the idea of making the wrong choice, so my search was long and intensive. Needless to say my wife almost despaired of me finding one in time for the next cleaning!
During my research I realised that there was a real wealth of information out there that went beyond a simple site about carpet steam cleaners. That’s certainly my focus but I hope that this site will grow into the ultimate resource for floor cleaning generally and that you will find helpful guidance no matter how big or small your house cleaning jobs are and no matter what kind of flooring you have.
By the time I’m finished I intend to have a wealth of carpet steam cleaner reviews, from commercial models all the way down to the smaller portable carpet steam cleaner. I guess the site will continue to grow and get updated as new models come on to the market, and of course there’s plenty more to say about accessories and carpet shampoos.
My aim, at the end of the day, is to help guide you through the many different options available that will suit your budget and your needs. I will be delighted if you want to leave a comment of your own experiences and please contact me if you find some helpful tip that I might have missed. Together we can keep our floors and carpets looking new and smelling fresh. Now that’s not a bad aspiration!
