All too often it’s only after carpet cleaning that people experience allergic reactions. This could either be because of improper cleaning methods or due to the chemicals used in cleaning carpets. In fact some of the chemicals used by these companies are extremely toxic and can cause harm to children and pets. Common problems associated with these chemicals include dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. There are several companies that use clean and much less toxic methods for carpet cleaning in Adelaide. They use natural products and safe techniques to clean your carpet.

Natural ingredients used for cleaning carpets include corn cobs (powdered), vinegar, borax, baking soda etc. Some of the natural materials are very effective in cleaning and are even used for commercial cleaning. Baking soda, for example, is a natural cleaner, deodorizer, and softener. Vinegar can clean grease, mildew, odor, stains and wax build up very easily. Lemon (also popularly used for cleaning) is the strongest among food acids and can remove household bacteria. Corn starch too is very effective in cleaning and polishing rugs and windows. These materials are biodegradable and hence cause no harm to people, even as the carpets are cleaned effectively. Chances of mold growth are also kept to minimal as most use dry cleaning methods. It’s a popular myth that these methods aren’t effective. While they may not be ideal for all professional cleaning, these techniques are quite useful and can be as effective as chemical cleaning in many situations.

These ingredients are powerful enough to remove tea, and coffee stains and also remove pet dander, and smoke odor. Delicate carpet fibers too are protected with these techniques. You don’t have to worry about the chemicals discoloring the carpet. Offices and homes where traffic is high are ideal for these systems. And if you’re looking for fragrance, lavender oil is used. The oil is effective to remove the smell of pet mess.

Before you choose carpet cleaners in Adelaide, make sure you ask them that they use safe products for their carpet cleaning methods. Also ask the company about how they would handle the water that’s used for cleaning. If the professional does not have a system to dispose of the water where harsh chemical must be used for treatment it’s best to avoid the company.
