Should I clean my living room carpet myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning your living room carpet after a scorching summer heatwave can be a task that requires careful consideration. Given the dust and pet hair accumulation, it might seem like a daunting chore but you do have options.

Firstly, let's talk about what you could do yourself. A thorough vacuuming with a powerful vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter is a good start. This will help to suck up as much of the surface dirt and dust as possible. For deep cleaning, consider using a carpet shampooer or steam cleaner if you have one. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Additionally, pet hair can be effectively removed with a lint roller or by running your hands firmly over the carpet in an upward direction.

However, depending on the extent of the dirt and grime, hiring professionals might just make more sense. In Dubai, companies that specialize in indoor environmental quality often offer thorough cleaning services for carpets. They have access to advanced equipment like powerful vacuums and steam cleaners which can penetrate deeper into the carpet fibres and extract stubborn dirt. Professional teams are also adept at handling pet hair and other allergens effectively.

The cost of hiring professionals could range from AED 500 - 1,500 for a medium-sized living room carpet cleaning depending on several factors including the company's services offered, the size of your carpet, and the frequency of service. Ensure you get quotes from multiple companies to compare prices and services.

It is also important to note that regular maintenance can help in reducing the need for deep cleanings. For instance, using doormats at all entry points can prevent dirt and dust from entering your home, thus making it easier to keep your carpet clean.

Should you experience any unusual odours or notice an increase in allergens despite regular cleaning, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done. This is particularly important if there are health concerns for you or your family members.
