Carpet Care in Anchorage Alaska

The people of Anchorage, Alaska are a hearty bunch. From fishermen to oil industry workers, and all vocations between, the people of Anchorage are always on the move in the interest of progression; this all in a relatively inhospitable land where many dare not even venture.

In such a rough land, and with all of the progressive spirit of Alaskans getting it done in Anchorage, building wear, dirt on floors, and all other signs of hard work are all too familiar intruders in the typical Alaskan home or business. Specifically, carpets in Anchorage can take on some serious dirt and wear. As with any other soiling or wear in rough-and-tumble Anchorage, Alaskans always find a way to fix up and clean up. Subsequently, carpet cleaning is no foreign process to the people of Anchorage.

There are many different methods of carpet cleaning employed here. Some choose to try tackling carpet soiling and stains by themselves. Others are more inclined to immediately contact a local carpet cleaning professional, of which the area has plenty. Either way, methods vary.

In one instance, John, of the Rogers Park section, pours a glass of wine after a long day. As he sets the bottle down, the family dog comes barreling through and knocks into him, jarring the bottle from his hold and spilling it all over the white living room carpet, and we all know dogs are popular in Alaska. The do-it-yourselfer in John employs him to immediately get to work treating the stain himself.

In this example, there are a few methods of approach. Immediately, the wine should be blotted and absorbed from the carpet as much as possible, as “setting in” makes the stain more difficult to remove. After blotting up all possible fluid, there are treatments that can be added to the stain. Often, do-it-yourselfers use hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, dish soap, club soda, or even white wine. Once added, there is typically a soaking-in process that allows the additive to soak into and hopefully release the stain from the carpet fibers. Usually this must be scrubbed into the carpet, followed by rinsing, drying, and repeating.

Sometimes these home methods work. Unfortunately, often times they do not. This is where hiring a professional is a good choice. Many home owners and renters insurances participate in cost coverage for professional services, and the industry’s typical prices are not at all unaffordable for most Alaskans.

In addition, the very best in specialized carpet cleaning equipment and knowledge will be applied to the carpet in question. This is as opposed to buckets, sponges, brushes, time expenditure, and the very possible eventual frustration at the fact that all of this effort still did not completely remove the stain. Although the people of Anchorage are savvy do-it-yourselfers, they too know when it’s smarter and more efficient to call in professional service.
