Cirencester Carpet Cleaning – Flat Flooded

A+ Cleaning Services – Cirencester Carpet Cleaning

This carpet in Cirencester had suffered from a water leak. As the carpet dried out, the water pulled soil up to the surface. This is called peripheral soil deposition, and is clearly visible in the first photo of Cirencester carpet cleaning below;

The tenant had tried to rectify the problem using a hire machine, but only worsened the situation. This is down to the fact that a hire machine is essentially budget-kit and not appropriate for this job. The story would have been very different had there been any natural fibres present in the carpet. The slow drying times could cause cellulosic yellowing, which, unless treated correctly, may become permanent. This yellowing (or in some cases a very strong orange/brown colour) won’t “clean” out, because there is no physical substance to remove. Soil deposition is as the name implies, and is usually easy enough to clean out. The photo of carpet cleaning Cirencester below shows the cleaning in action:

Another issue caused by flooding and water leaks is often a bad odour remaining even after the carpet has dried. This carpet in Cirencester was situated in a flat with poor air flow. This of course meant the order was far from acceptable. Therefore a large portion of work done to the carpet was deodorising with the windows thrown open.
