household vacuum cleaner vs professional clean?

Question

I want to get a vacuum cleaner for my house, and I am considering getting a bagless one. I will use it for carpet and other surfaces.

The guys who professionally clean ur carpet use chemicals in their vacuum.
Is it worth getting one of those vacuum cleaners?

Answer 1

The wet cleaning machines are good for cleaning up things that won't come out another way, such as vomit, stains, etc. I have a friend who has one of these machines, but she runs a day-care in her home, so she has a lot of these kinds of stains. If you have just normal dirt on your carpet, a vacuum is fine, and you can get your carpet professionally cleaned after some years.

Answer 2

Many carpet warranties state that carpets need to be professionally cleaned once a year to keep the warranty valid. If you do it yourself, it may void the warranty. As for day to day use make sure you get a vacuum that has a HEPA filter, makes no sense to let the dust back into the carpet you just cleaned up. As for the professionals that use the chemicals, I do recommend looking into Chem-dry Cleaning, they use a carbonation process that cleans the carpets, using less harsh chemicals and no soap residue.

Answer 3

I would NOT use a bagless cleaner, instead I recommend a Sears cannister. I cleaned houses for a living for over 20 years and found this is the best on the market.

Answer 4

I would think the professional models are very expensive and you have to mess with the chemicals. Why not just get a good quality bagless and with the money saved, get the professionals to come in once a year or whenever needed??
