Basement Carpet Cleaning Service
Regardless of how diligent you are, a carpet can never be kept spotless, especially in a room that you plan to use regularly. Converted basements serve many purposes like entertaining guests and relaxing, so they are extensively used. Basement carpet will undoubtedly get dirty over time.
Listed below are some reasons why you should have our carpet cleaning service clean the carpet in your basement.
Increased Moisture Levels
Even a modern built basement has less airflow than other parts of the house. The basement in some houses doesn't have any access to the outside, or ventilation which would help the air flow to circulate better. These are the ones you need to be aware of. As a result, humidity levels can rise. A restriction in airflow is mainly responsible for this. The presence of excessive humidity can cause a variety of problems.
Like the other carpets, basement carpets are a magnet for all kinds of grime, allergens and germs. However, due to the restricted airflow, you will discover issues much faster, such as strange smells from stale air that do not seem to be too bad. It can, however, result in more serious issues, such as the growth of mold in your basement. A problem such as allergies can result. Thus, you need to regularly clean your basement's carpet.
Tip
Keep the air flowing in your basement with windows, vents, or doors if there are any. It will resolve these issues. You can also place a dehumidifier in the basement if you don't have any of the above.
Tracked-in Dirt
Like most carpets, basement carpets are susceptible to dirt being tracked in on the bottom of people's shoes, especially if there's a direct entrance from the outside. The most common things tracked into carpets are oil and dirt. These substances are among the most difficult to remove.
Spills and Stains
Most often, basements are used as recreation rooms for watching television, playing games, or simply for mingling. There is a greater possibility of spilled drinks or food stains. Apparently, spills and stains can soak deep into the carpet fibers. This is especially true if they are not handled ASAP.
Pets
Pets love carpets. It's warmer than tiles or other places for them to relax. It's inevitable, pets are going to dirty your carpet no matter what so you have to accept that. Several times a year, actually!
If you have a pet, then you'll probably need to clean your carpet more often than those who don't have one. You may have trouble maintaining a plain, light-colored carpet if you have a pet. The better option is to have a carpet that is darker in color in your basement.

Our Basement Carpet Cleaning Process
It is undesirable to have a dirty basement, particularly the carpets. Therefore, you should regularly have your carpets deep cleaned. We recommend that a steam cleaning should be done every six months. In any case, if this isn't possible, you shouldn't let the cleaning go beyond a year due to the humidity problem that was mentioned above.
For basement carpets, we primarily use steam cleaning at Ellis Carpet Cleaning.
Step #1 - Pre-Inspection & Fibre Test
Our carpet cleaners inspect your basement carpet so that we know exactly what we're dealing with. We then do a quick test on the carpet fibres to determine which fibre we are dealing with.
Step #2 - Power Vacuuming
Vacuuming the basement requires the use of a powerful industrial vacuum. Prior to steam cleaning, this is a critical thing to do.
Step #3 - Steam Cleaning
Then we begin working. Our carpet cleaner begins to clean. Hot water is converted into steam by the machine. It cleans your carpets and removes all the dirt, grime, stains, allergens, and anything else that should not be in there. Your basement carpets will look amazing once we're done.
Step #4 - Air Movers (Optional)
As basements and restricted airflow conditions make drying more difficult, we may use industrial air movers to assist in the process.
This is a summary of our carpet steam cleaning process.
Benefits of Cleaning Basement Carpets
For the well-being and safety of your family, it is essential to clean the basement carpets. Does anyone really want to live in a damp, musty environment? There is no one, is there? Keeping your basement carpets clean is crucial to keeping your house in tip-top shape. A clean carpet in your basement is not only good for the air quality in your basement, but it also helps the carpet to do its job. Carpets act as magnets which trap airborne pollutants, but dirty carpets can't do this.
Your carpet should be vacuumed regularly to remove dirt, dust, and stains. Two times per week is sufficient to keep things smelling fresh and looking clean. Additionally, vacuuming carpets in your basement will help them last even longer.
You should also try to remove any carpet stains in your basement as soon as they happen. To remove the stain, use a paper towel to dry it. In fact, you can even put a paper towel in a bowl of water and then dip it into it and then blot the stain. Remove as much of the stain as you can. Avoid rubbing the stain as this will push it deeper into the carpet. After that, call us to do the actual stain removal. Basement carpet stains should be addressed as soon as possible. Before the stain sets in and starts producing an odour in an area with restricted airflow.
