What is deep cleaning and why is it worthwhile?
Deep cleaning is a carpet-cleaning process that loosens and removes most of harmful dirt and ground-in grit, which may be deep down in your rugs and carpets. Not only does it protect the investment you have in your home, but parents of young children, pet owners and allergy sufferers may find deep cleaning especially beneficial.
Complementing regular vacuuming, deep cleaning appliances quickly and efficiently clean carpets, leaving them invigorated by getting rid of the ‘hidden’ dirt (vacuum cleaners remove only a surprisingly small proportion of a carpet’s deep down dirt and encrusted spills).
Deep cleaners shoot a high pressure spray of hot tap water and a special cleaning formula deep into the base of a carpet’s fibres to effectively loosen most ground-in grime – then immediately extract the ‘solution’, ensuring rapid drying. The process promotes a far healthier environment in the home.

Are all deep cleaners properly equipped to clean an entire home?
No. Some deep cleaners are better suited to cleaning lightweight, everyday messes such as spills, spots and small areas. When purchasing a deep cleaner to clean your entire home, it is important to consider such features as the size of the clean and dirty water tanks, cleaning path width, machine durability and overall cleaning performance.

Does deep cleaning the carpet take long to dry?
Like washing your laundry, your carpet will take some time to dry. It depends how warm/ventilated the room is, plus how much cleaning formula is used. When deep cleaning, your carpet rapidly dries - in just one to two hours.
How often should I deep clean?
Two to three times a year is ideal or as necessary.
Is it less costly to hire a machine or a cleaning firm to wash my carpets?
No. Buying a deep cleaner is a sound investment. Just using a deep cleaner twice soon recoups your outlay. You can share your deep cleaner with the family, friends, neighbours.
