Carpet Cleaning Services in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix Carpet Cleaning

As great as the soft, lush feel of carpet is under your feet, it also comes at a price. Without periodic maintenance, your carpet will quickly lose its integrity, and with it goes your luxurious flooring. Other flooring such as hardwood or laminate floors requires substantially less care, but if you're a fan of carpet, the cost of annual Phoenix carpet cleaning is still, overall, a cheaper flooring solution. Vacuuming may be one thing, but few homeowners relish the time and energy of steam cleaning. Here's a look at what professional Phoenix carpet cleaners can offer your home and your carpeting.

Carpet Cleaning
Dirt and grime can be just as big of a problem in Phoenix as anywhere else, but a slow discoloration of your carpet is just as likely to be a sign of carpet fading as anything else. Carpet cleaning won't take care of this problem, commonly caused by prolonged exposure to the sun. In this case, you might consider looking into carpet dyeing contractors.

Near constant sunlight isn't the only idiosyncratic factor to consider for your Phoenix carpet cleaning. The dry climate also allows homeowners to install low moisture-resistant carpet fibers. Do-it-yourself carpet cleaning is already a dicey proposition because steam cleaning rental equipment from your local hardware store doesn't have the same high-pressure capability as commercial-grade equipment. Longer drying times associated with rented equipment increase the likelihood that your carpet will suffer from mold, foul odors, and other moisture-related damage. Indeed, even professional Phoenix carpet cleaners will need to know what type of carpet fiber you have to modify specific steam cleaning protocols.

Cost of Carpet Cleaning
Though the average cost of carpet cleaning in Phoenix is about $200, we see a bunch of projects that cost only $100 or $150. Since even the smallest jobs require at least an hour of labor and transportation of carpet cleaning to your home, it's rare to find anything less than $100. In fact, you should be somewhat suspicious of any quote beneath this price. To put this average cost into perspective for your carpeted floors, the average carpet cleaning project takes about for hours to complete. So, if you're getting charged $400 for two hours of work, something fishy may be at work.

With bunches of projects that cost only $100, naturally some projects go in the other direction. The most expensive carpet cleaning project we saw was $700. Looking at this Phoenix homeowner's feedback, however, it's easy to understand why the price was so high: "Think not only of your carpets, but your tile and what they can do to clean and seal them. It's more expensive, but the look is amazing." If you have any other odd jobs, especially cleaning-oriented jobs, you might ask a prospective contractor about other services they offer. Bundling jobs in this manner is a great way to produce a more cost-effective hire.

Cleaning Professionals
Given the possible pitfalls of DIY carpet cleaning, hiring a professional Phoenix carpet cleaner makes a bunch of sense. Hopefully, these pitfalls also underscore the idea that hiring professional cleaners has nothing to do with laziness or wasteful spending. That said, cost-effective carpet cleaning requires that you find an honest and reliable Phoenix carpet cleaning professional.
