Trusted Carpet Cleaners in Port Coquitlam, BC

Carpet manufacturers recommend having carpets cleaned by the hot water extractions method (steam cleaning) every 12-24 months to maintain the life and performance of the carpet.

Dust, dirt, and spills live under your carpet in the underlay and subflooring as well as in the carpet fiber. When the surface of the carpet is wet while cleaning, odours from this dirt, dust and old spills can be drawn to the surface. This odour typically dissipates when the carpet is fully dry. It is best not to walk on damp carpet following the cleaning as this can draw odours upward.

Dark lines often seen around the edges of carpet, tucked in closely to the baseboards or in the tight corners and crevices, are known as dust filtration or filtration soiling. Dust filtration is also found under doors, along the edges of stairs, near HVAC vents and in areas where plywood subflooring is joined. Dust filtration occurs because your carpet acts as a filter to dust and other airborne pollutants. It collects on carpet fibers where there is concentrated air flow over the carpet and from tiny cracks or other open areas in the subfloor under the carpet. It is also caused when these tight areas are not vacuumed as often as the large easy to reach space of our carpets. Dust filtration can become a permanent discolouration and often cannot be corrected.

The backing on carpets and area rugs are made up of several layers and held together by latex adhesive. Latex adhesive absorbs moisture. This can cause rippling or wrinkling from the absorption and expansion. The good news is that the rippling is not permanent and typically dissipates once the area rug is fully dry. To help encourage the flattening process, try rolling up your area rug after it has fully dried, let it sit for a few days and voila! Your rug will lay flat once again.
