When it comes to cleaning carpet, especially in cases of when a deep clean is required, it’s best to use professional help as opposed to doing it yourself. The reason behind this is that attempting to remove stains and disinfect your carpet yourself can do more harm than good. Over-the-counter carpet cleaners contain perfumes or deodorizers that add residue and work only temporarily to cover odors, not permanently. They ultimately do not remove the stain itself, which could damage not only your carpet, but damage the flooring as well, potentially costing you more money to fix.
