Deodorizing Carpet With Steam Cleaning

Have you ever walked into a room and smelled an odor you couldn’t identify that left your nose tingling? This is not uncommon for most homeowners. Many people react the same way to these odors, too, by going to the closest grocery store or supermarket and buying a chemical spray that will mask the odor and your embarrassment.

Simply masking the odor will not help the root of the problem, though. The only thing it will do is cover up the smell temporarily, making your nose feel better. All the time, your actual problem may be getting worse as you attempt to hide it with your chosen masking agent. The odors are often rooted deeply into your carpeting or upholstery and can be very hard to pinpoint by simply looking for those spots. When you don’t know the cause of the odor and simply keep masking it with fragrances, you are not only wasting money, but you are giving mold and mildew a chance to grow while the bacteria spreads. When you have a bad odor you cannot identify, it is time to call us: the professionals at Carpet Cleaning Nurse's Touch in Mobile to help.

Many carpet cleaning companies will only spray a solution on top of the carpet in the area they think may be the source of your problems. This is not an effective solution for two reasons. First, the odors typically work their way down deep into the fibers of carpet into the backing, padding, and eventually to the actual floor. The topical sprays will only help the face fibers, not those deep down where the mold and bacteria are growing. Second, there’s no guarantee they are spraying the area where the actual odor is coming from or that they are covering the entire odor area. Besides, using topical sprays as a cheap solution is estimated to be only around twenty to thirty percent effective.

If you want to get rid of your odors at the source, your best bet is to call a professional steam carpet cleaning service in Mobile, Alabama for your carpets. This will kill the source of the odor and leave your carpets smelling fresh.
