Liu's Cleaning

Most soil trapped in the carpet can be removed by vacuuming. However it is also necessary to clean your carpet professionally on a regular basis to remove the oily, sticky soil that vacuuming alone can not remove. This soil can result from cooking vapors, air pollution, and tracked-in dirt from outside. The particles of oily soil deposited on carpet fibres can cause gradual but significant dulling of colors. The color isn't lost, but is hidden under the film. If this type of soil is allowed to accumulate, it begins to attract and hold the dry soil.

The cleaning chore will be easier and more successful if the carpet is cleaned before it comes too unpleasant. A typical household should be cleaned every six to twelve months, depending on the amount of activity, indoor and outdoor, and the residents.

The cleaning product used also affects the results of the carpet. For example, if the cleaner chooses to use a product that leaves residue, this defeats the whole purpose of carpet cleaning as residue accelerates re-soiling. A cleaner or cleaning company should have the best current knowledge of the proper cleaning products and should help extend the time between cleanings.
