bay-area-cleaning.com trains its professional carpet cleaning experts to select only the most suitable cleaning method for your carpets and upholstery from the aforementioned list and to use the appropriate machinery to supply the mechanical action appropriate for freeing and floating away all ingrained dirt and stubborn stains.

Because carpets, rugs and upholstered furniture are expensive items to purchase we are happy to provide you with a few routine handling and cleaning tips so that you will enjoy them for many more years.

Despite the claim that many carpets are treated with stain, dirt and odor repellants, over time these are still a problem and if they are not removed they could result in irreversible damage to your expensive investment. Therefore, we recommend most strongly that you use professionals to remove the most stubborn ingrained dirt and stains at least once a year.
In this way you make sure to:

• Give your rooms a clean fresh look with a fresh fragrance
• Extend the life of the carpet
• Rid your home of all allergy sensitive dust particles

bay-area-cleaning.com has the professional expertise for removing ink, food, animal urine and many other stains and odors harmlessly using all the correct chemical compounds.
If you have the slightest difficulty in removing a stain, stop before it's too late. Rather let the professionals handle the problem and avoid unnecessary damage.

What can you do to maintain your carpet between cleanings?

Vacuuming
Carpets should be vacuumed at least once a week with a properly engineered vacuum cleaner.
We recommend using a vacuum cleaner with separate motors for sucking up the dirt and rotating the brushes that free the particles trapped in the carpet's pile.
Rotating brushes have proved to be the most suitable.

The suction should be strong enough to remove even the most tenacious particles and the brushes should be firm enough to free even the most stubborn dirt.
