Carpet Cleaning in Târgu Jiu

About this service

Professional carpet cleaning removes deep soiling, dust mites, and odours that a vacuum cannot lift, however often it's used. An ordinary household carpet accumulates dust, pet hair, food debris and, over time, a layer of particles that dulls the colours and aggravates allergies. The service includes deep vacuuming, pre-treating stains with solutions chosen for their type — grease, wine, ink, pet urine — the wash itself by hot water extraction or dry foam, repeated rinsing until the extracted water runs clear, odour neutralisation, and controlled drying. Persian and wool rugs, fitted carpet, stair runners, sofa and armchair upholstery, mattresses, and office chairs can all be cleaned. The service is performed either at your home or by collection and cleaning at the depot. On SmallJobs you'll find firms with professional equipment, real reviews, and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a carpet cleaning

Vacuum the carpet before the team arrives — it shortens the job and improves the result
Point out the age and nature of each stain; treatment differs greatly between grease, wine, and urine
Ask for colourfastness testing in a hidden area, especially on old or wool rugs
Don't put furniture back until it's completely dry — you risk marks and mildew
Ventilate the room well after on-site cleaning so drying is quick
Ask whether the rate includes stain pre-treatment or whether it's charged separately

Frequently Asked Questions

Can pet odour be removed?

Yes, in most cases. Urine penetrates right through to the backing, however, and surface cleaning alone isn't enough. An enzymatic treatment is needed that breaks down the compounds responsible for the odour, applied deeply and left to act. Old, repeated incidents may require two treatments.

Does cleaning damage a wool rug?

No, if done correctly. Wool requires pH-neutral solutions, low temperature, and rapid drying to avoid fibre shrinkage and dye migration. The risk arises when alkaline detergents or overly hot water are used. Ask the firm to confirm it has experience with wool before handing over the rug.

Is colourfastness tested before cleaning?

Yes, it's a mandatory step at any serious firm. The solution is applied in a hidden area, usually on the reverse of the edge, and a white cloth is used to check whether pigment transfers. On old, vegetable-dyed rugs the test is essential, because some colours can bleed irreversibly.

How often should a carpet be cleaned?

For an ordinary home, once a year is sufficient. If you have pets, small children, or allergies, twice a year is recommended. High-traffic areas — hallways, entrances — may need more frequent attention. Weekly vacuuming significantly extends the interval between deep cleans.

What should I prepare before the team arrives in Târgu Jiu?

Clear furniture off the carpet or tell the team if you need help moving it, vacuum roughly beforehand, and point out problem stains and how old they are. Mention if you have pets or allergies in the home, so the firm in Târgu Jiu can select suitable products.

Which method is better, hot water extraction or dry foam?

Hot water extraction cleans more deeply and is the reference method for most carpets. Dry foam uses very little water and suits moisture-sensitive rugs or spaces that must be used immediately, but the result on deep soiling is inferior.
