DIY Vs. Professional Carpet Cleaning
Ideally, carpets should be thoroughly deep cleaned at least once every six months to remove the debris, dust, and soil that have settled deep in the fibers. Deep cleaning your carpets also removes the foul smell and helps improve the performance of your carpets.
When you want to clean your carpets, you may get stuck between doing it yourself or getting a professional carpet cleaning service to do it for you. Each option has its pros and cons, as we discuss in detail here.
DIY Carpet Cleaning Pros
You save money!
While professional carpet cleaning service companies charge you by the carpet’s square foot, you are the expert here. While a professional service costs between $80 and $130 for a 200-400 square foot carpet, you stand a chance to save this money by doing it yourself.
You estimate your cost and what you need.
With just a few cleaning products that you can find their prices online, you can easily estimate the whole cleaning process’s total cost. Besides, you do not worry about the additional charges being imposed on you in professional cleaning.
You respond quickly to emergencies
After heavy rains, some homes and business premises get flooded with water, which damages the floor and carpeting.

When you rely on professional services to respond to such emergency issues, your items can get destroyed as you wait for their services. They could be busy somewhere else.
