Carpet Cleaning Tips

If Dan Dan The Carpet Man knows one thing, it’s Altamonte Springs carpet cleaning. Dan knows his carpets as he and his technicians collectively have dozens of years of carpet cleaning experience behind them. One question that Dan and his crew continuously get is how to keep the home carpets impeccably clean. While DIY cleaning can never replace an annual professional cleaning, there are some things you can do on your own to keep your carpets looking clean. We at Dan Dan the Carpet Man will happily share some of our secrets with you.

Your Carpet Needs a Good Rinse

When people start to clean their carpet, they often focus too much on the washing end of things. However, you will also need to rinse your home carpet so that all of the detergent gets out. Many homeowners decide to rent carpet shampooers, use way too much soap, and don’t get all of the detergents out of their carpet. Getting the detergent out of the carpet is extremely important as the cleaner attracts dirt. When you don’t remove every bit of it from your carpet, that means you have a substance that attracts dirt on your floor. You don’t want that. We can come to your home and get all of that detergent out of your carpet.

You Need to Vacuum

Hot water extraction may seem cool, but the first step to taking care of your carpet is vacuuming. Don’t just vacuum with half a mind on your carpet and the other half on a million other things. The more dirt Dan and his crew can get out of your carpet before the hot water extraction; the better off everyone will be. We will take our massively strong vacuums and do several passes over your carpet in all different directions. While Dan and his band of technicians can do a bang up job on your carpet, you can also purchase the very best vacuum your budget will allow and use it as often as you can. Go over all of the carpets in your residence with a vacuum at least a couple of times a week. You should vacuum more often if people walk on your carpet with shoes on their feet. When vacuuming, move the vacuum slowly and in different directions.

Dry Your Carpet Thoroughly

Now you will need to concern yourself with drying your home carpet. If you have a wet carpet, it will get dirty once someone steps on it. This can give the carpet mold and musty smells. Dan and his crew will often get a lot of calls from people after they have used DIY carpet cleaners. What ended up happening was that the homeowner used too much cleaning solution and water, which meant that the machine could not suck out all of the water, which left the carpet a soggy mess. Your carpet should always become dry within four hours.

Preventing Carpet Stains

The worst stains, wear and tear, and overall messes that we see on carpets do not come from sudden accidents. Instead, they come from normal wear and tear over a period and ground-in grime and dirt. As a homeowner, you can do two things to prevent grime and dirt from building up on your carpet. The first step involves not allowing family members or house guests to wear outdoor shoes in your home. You should instate this rule because outdoor shoes track in mud, dirt, and grime. You can eliminate most of the crud on your carpet by not letting people wear outdoor shoes indoors. Oil and grime on your home carpet can also come from everyday cooking. When you cook, moisture and oil go up in the air in your house. Even if you purchase a good fan, oil will settle down on the floor in front of your home stove. Many people track this oil into other areas of the home. In many homes, the two dirtiest areas one can usually see are the two feet from the house’s doorway and the area where the carpet joins the kitchen. A rug over your kitchen threshold can keep the oils from your kitchen from staining your carpet.

Annual Cleanings

While DIY carpet cleaning can be great for spot treatments and keep your carpet looking good throughout the year, it is not a long term solution. Our unique cleaning products and tools are designed to get your carpet significantly cleaner than a store-bought carpet cleaner.

Our family has hired Dan three times now on very urgent notice. Each time Dan’s company has gone above and beyond to help! They have been more than fair on pricing. The work that they have done has been absolutely excellent! Our carpets and floors are in great shape because of them!! Everyone with whom we have worked at this company has been great. They are organized, honest, and do an excellent job. I am giving the highest recommendation I can give!
Maggie Gates - December 4, 2021

Highly recommend. The customer service was A+ but the work they did was even better. My sofa and carpet looked like they were brand new when they were done which was no easy feet after my two big dogs took a mud bath outside and came in to play on the sofa.
Maggie Gates - December 4, 2022

Everyone I spoke to was friendly and informative. They explained my options and left the decision up to me. No high pressure salesman stuff. I have used them for my office and now my home. I highly recommend them. My carpets looked brand new after cleaning. Very impressive.

Would Highly recommend Dan Dan to anyone. Gary showed up, prepped and got to work. In total, he spent over 6 hours getting my requested work done. I had a lot of stuff on my floors. Stuff I myself could not move due to suffering a Heart Attack a few weeks prior. I had 2 bathrooms done. Kitchen, bedroom and foyer and a very large Dining Room all with tile floors. I also had 2 larger area rugs done. What a difference. Gary did an amazing job. Even though the grout on the floor in the kitchen did not come as clean as I had hoped for. Gary tried, but we believe a darker grout (black) was originally used and a lighter placed on top. (or vice-versa), or possibly some type of coloring was applied over the original color. The next job will be my Florida Room tile floor. (My daughter just needs to buy her house and get her “Storage” stuff out of there.) I will not hesitate to call Dan Dan again to do that room!

Great service and very fast! They were able to adjust their pricing to my budget! I definitely recommend and will call them again!

Should have taken “before” pictures to show the difference before the cleaning and “after” – carpet looked like it did years ago and the tile and grout looked like it was just installed. Great job! Will absolutely use again!

Tom Scahill - June 1, 2020

Called Dan based upon references and quickly set up a date to have carpets and furniture cleaned as we had never had the carpets cleaned since installing them in the house five years ago. Just my wife and I, no kids or pets – just a sometimes messy five year old grandchild. Tech Jimmy came out and immediately assessed our needs and recommended the LOWEST price cleaning. No up selling, no pressure AT ALL. He then explained the process in detail and started work. It took him approximately 4.5 hours to finish the house and furniture – and it looked GREAT! My wife and I were completely satisfied and will never go to anyone else for carpet and furniture cleaning.

George Sellery - August 1, 2020

I am SO impressed with this company! I had them clean grout and carpet and they did a great job at both. My tile looks brand new, and I smile every time I walk into the kitchen. In all honesty, I was a die-hard Stanley Steamer girl, because it was so easy to book online and be done. I will NEVER use them again after I have seen what Dan Dan did! What a difference!! The employees were wonderful to deal with and scheduling was super easy. I called to schedule an appointment and they fit me in right away. If you have heard of the “2 second rule” if you drop a piece of food on the floor, it really no longer applies….because the floor is so clean, you could literally eat off of it!!!!!!

Barbara Parham - January 16, 2020

Amazing experience! Everyone in this company is so nice. When we needed some flexibility on their part, they were accommodating, which was such a relief (thank you!) They did a fantastic job with our office space. It looks and smells so fresh in here. Ahhhh Will absolutely use again in the future.

Laura Conant - June 13, 2021

Best carpet cleaning ever! Called them on recommendation from a friend/customer of mine who has impeccable taste and was thrilled with the result. Booked an appointment for exactly when I wanted it, came out and measured and quoted and cleaned all in the same day. The results were amazing. Highly recommend them.
