A carpet cleaning company does an excellent job of cleaning your carpets, and they can provide you other excellent services as well. These services are often just as important and having a professional do them increases the likelihood that they are done well. Here are three additional services provided by a carpet cleaning company. 

Upholstery Cleaning

A carpet cleaning company has the equipment and cleaners needed to clean your upholstery for you. They generally use dry cleaning steamers that suck all of the dirt, debris, stains, and more out of your upholstery first. They then use the power of steam to clean them. The great thing about steam is that it dries very quickly, making it so that the interior cushions and other aspects of your furniture don't get damaged from being too wet. Some types of upholstered furniture that they can clean consist of couches, chairs, ottomans, headboards, etc. 

Area Rug Cleaning 

If you have a large area rug in your home, such as your living room, dining room, etc., it likely gets a great deal of traffic. This can cause it to become worn down and dirty. If this is the case with your area rug, then you may want to have a carpet cleaning company clean it for you. To clean it, they will likely take it off site and have it specially cleaned for you. They will make sure that your area rug is properly clean and dried completely before it is rolled back up and returned to you. 

Carpet Stretching 

If your carpet has started to get lumps in it, or is otherwise bunching up in places, this may be a sign that your carpet needs to be stretched. This is another service that is provided by a carpet cleaning company. They stretch out your carpet by using a power stretcher that essentially grabs onto your carpet and stretches it out. This gets rid of the wrinkles and lumps in your carpet and it gives it a nice, flat surface once again. This is a much cheaper option than having to replace your carpet and still gives you the desired results. 

Carpet cleaning companies offer some great services that some people don't think of. They can clean your upholstered furniture for you, they can clean your large area rugs, and they can even stretch your carpets out if they have lumps and bunched up areas in them.
