Investing in professional carpet cleaning is important in extending the life of your carpeting. If you have a specific carpet fabric you have a question about, this article explains exactly what kind of fabrics J and R’s Carpet Cleaning can clean.
Types of Carpet Fabrics That J and R’s Cleans
There are many different types of fabrics that are used to create the carpets in your home. Each fabric is unique and cleans differently, which will ultimately impact the lifespan of the carpets in your household.
Wool
The first fabric to be mentioned is wool. As you may or may not know, wool happens to be a very resilient fabric. It cleans very well because it can take a lot of pressure and vacuum suction. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind about wool. For one, wool carpets tend to have a “wet dog” smell after they’ve been cleaned. This smell does go away once the carpet fiber dries, but while wet, the smell can give pets a reason to “mark their territory” in your hope.
Nylon
Another popular carpet fabric is nylon. If nylon is properly cleaned and maintained regularly, around every eight months to a year, it cleans very well because of the elasticity and ability to go back to normal length, even in high traffic areas. During our carpet cleaning process, nylon shows cleaning lines and gives your home that picture-perfect carpet look. A negative side-effect of nylon carpeting is how quickly its pigmentation will fade from stains, spills, pets, and things like that.
Polyester
Speaking of stains, spills, and pets, polyester is the perfect carpet for you to have if you happen to have a lot of activity on your carpet from children and pets. Polyester is much more resilient to these common accidents and its pigmentation holds up much better than nylon. That being said, polyester is less resilient when it comes to high traffic and walking patterns.
