| Different situations call for different type of
cleaning. Heavily soiled carpet usually cleans up best with
steam. "Fiber Retention" generally requires professional
steam cleaning (some warranties such as DuPont Stainmaster require this
type cleaning at least every two years to maintain the fiber retention
portion of your warranty). Dry cleaning is most effective as
maintenance or "surface" cleaning. Properly done, neither
method damages your carpet. The most important thing to remember
is to make sure you are using a reputable service. It is a good
idea to get a few references and check them out. |
