Are carpet cleaning chemicals dangerous?

* Most of the chemicals are environmentally friendly. It depends on how heavy the dirt is and how deep the stains are on the carpet sometimes we have to use a stronger product to get better results. For normal carpet maintenance, there is no need to use stronger products as we get excellent results from our eco-friendly product line.

* It is important to note that preparation is key and we pre-treat in a lot of cases before doing the carpet clean

Why does my carpet smell after cleaning?

It is sometimes difficult to determine why there is a bad smell after the cleaning process. Below are some reasons why this can happen.

There are lots of reasons why the carpet may still smell after the cleaning process:
* Stains from food, drinks, urine etc (growing up bacteria)
* Underlay (the stain gets so deep and catches the underlay and even if we do the cleaning process properly the smell will come back this one is hard to discover) we have had this problem before and have discovered that the carpet is absolutely perfect but the underlay got damaged.
* Carpets made from the natural pile can smell after the cleaning and this is normal if you do not use any deodoriser in the cleaning process.
* We use a deodoriser to ensure your carpet smells fresh after the job is completed. If by any chance the bad smell is “coming up” contact us to resolve the problem.
