Carpet Cleaners Chicago
Question. Chicago IL - My little boy Billy finally spoke his first words! It wasn’t momma or dada, it sounded to us like stinky feet. Naturally we were distressed to think this child’s first impression of life on Earth is that people’s feet stink. However, we were also encouraged to think that perhaps we had a child of exceptional taste and refinement. Later we realized he was saying “sticky feet.” We noticed he was saying it when he walked on the family room carpet we just had cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner. So my husband and I took off our shoes and as we walked on the carpet it surely did feel sticky. Why should the carpet feel sticky when it was just cleaned?
Answer. Just be thankful that Billy didn’t step in dog poop. Imagine what his first words might have been!
It’s amazing how often I stumble across the word vinegar as I do my research. But here is the story. Often commercial carpet cleaners won’t get all the soap out of carpeting. That soap builds up over time resulting in a sticky film on your carpet. Some pros recommend renting a carpet cleaning machine and instead of using soap, use a combination of vinegar and hot water – one half cup of vinegar (white vinegar) to each gallon of boiling hot water. The water loosens up the soap and the vinegar kind of softens it up and melts it away.The next time you might ask your carpet cleaning to use the vinegar-water solution instead of plain water to rinse the soap out of your carpet.

It’s a sad thing to be clueless. Even while The Clueless Cleaner believes that cleaning can be fun and hopes to provide a bit of entertainment, Professor Q hopes that his research might point some folks in the right direction in terms of solving perplexing cleaning issues.
Here’s what you need to know. Other than being fictitious, Professor Q is just like you and me: Fallible! He knows nothing about cleaning! Out of the goodness of his heart he’ll look it up when someone has a truly clueless inquiry. He has dozens of reference books and of course the Internet. But he has not checked out these solutions personally and as far as he knows the experts he researches might be just as clueless as the rest of us. Probably not, but who knows?
So do your own due diligence before proceeding with any cleaning solution. Just one more slight word of caution. The Professor has noticed that a lot of these cleaning experts say the same thing over and over again, doubtlessly to cover their own tails. They say, “any one trying a cleaning solution should test it in an inconspicuous place–whether you are cleaning your silk blouse, your carpet or your driveway. Find an out of the way spot to make sure the cleaning solution doesn’t cause more problems than it cures.”
