Carpet cleaning, as easy as it sounds, can actually be quite complex in nature...
An excellent cleaner needs to know, and make application of, things like: Proper Ph for the appropriate fiber type. Cellulosic browning and how to prevent or correct it. Butyl Hydro Toluene yellowing why it happens and how to make it go away. They also need to know about: emulsifiers, rinsing agents, solvents, tannic acids, reducing agents, ammonias, and hydrochloric acids, just to mention a few things. Improper use of any of the chemistry mentioned can easily turn a simple carpet cleaning job into a nightmare experience for you.
The best carpet cleaning companies are those who have been certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning,
and Restoration Certification, known as the IICRC. The carpet cleaner must earn the certification through study, experience, and the successful completion of formal written examinations. Cleaners who are certified by the IICRC have, in effect, earned a "degree" in carpet cleaning.
The IICRC provides written credentials to the companies it certifies. So before you choose a carpet cleaner, ask to see written proof of the company’s IICRC certification.
