What is the difference between a carpet cleaner and a carpet shampooer?

• <div><p>A carpet cleaner uses steam to penetrate the fibers of your carpet and remove dirt, while a carpet shampooer uses a detergent to clean the carpet’s surface. These are both efficient methods of cleaning your carpet, but steam cleaners do a better job of sanitizing the surface of the carpet.</p></div>

Q: Can you hose down an oriental rug?

• <div><p>Because you likely don&rsquo;t have the equipment to dry your oriental rug adequately, cleaning it with a hose or any deluge of water is a bad idea. The fibers of an oriental rug are especially dense, so water can cause damage like marking, fading, mold, and odor. Since sunlight can also fade an oriental rug, that&rsquo;s not a good option for drying it to prevent damage. </p></div>

Q: Should cleaning services be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>No, house cleaners or house cleaning services do not need to be certified or licensed. Each state has its own requirements for licensing and certifications for companies, but most states don't require any special training to clean a home. Be sure to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/angi-license-check.htm">check our state licensing tool</a> to review the local cleaning service guidelines.</p></div>

Q: What not to mix bleach with?

• <div><p>Do not mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia, acidic liquids, or other cleaners or detergents as toxic fumes result from the chemical reaction. Mix bleach only with water to avoid dangerous chemical reactions. Even mixed with water to dilute it, bleach can still be harmful to your skin, eyes, and lungs.</p></div>

Q: How long does dyed carpet last?

• <div><p>How long carpet dye lasts depends on the quality of the dye and the application process. At a minimum, dyed carpets keep their color for a year, but some can last longer. Many factors affect how long carpet dye lasts, including the amount of UV rays that hit the carpet, causing it to fade. However, the good news is you can have your carpet dyed annually to keep up the color.</p></div>

Barry was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. His work was thorough and he was able to respond in one day (though during the warm weather he said that was not so easily done). He was very clean and careful of our house. I recommend him highly.
