What factors should be considered when drying a carpet?
• Age and condition of carpet – If a carpet is so old that it is a better value to replace than attempt restoration • Length of time carpet was exposed to water. • Type of water • The temperature of the water is important as well. A hot water heater with very warm water will affect the glue which is used to hold the carpet fibers together. Will my upholstery be cleaned after I experience a loss? Most upholstery can be cleaned using an upholstery pre-spray followed by cleaning with a specially designed wand. Some fabrics are more delicate such as cottons and silks, which may require cleaning compounds made specifically for those types of materials to prevent browning or yellowing of the material. We can test your fabric to determine its composition if you are unsure what it is made of.
