My fiance and I are moving into our brand new house this week. The home is brand new but has been sitting empty for nearly a year. My question is with the brand new carpeting, I know I should at least vacuum to remove the loose/excess fibers in the carpet, but I'm also debating renting a basic carpet cleaner from Home Depot. Would that be overkill or should it be done?
Regular cleaning of your carpet in that way not only gets it clean, but helps to prevent dry rot. You should clean it with an extractor at least once a year.
in case you do commit to attempt this please make useful that each and each one among the powder is dissolved beforehand you upload it to the purifier. I have seen that crap ruin completely solid carpet cleaners
Depends if it's a good quality carpet. If it's a cheap thin carpet I wouldn't advise you deep clean it as the water will saturate it and also make the underlay and floor boards damp which makes it smell. Unfortunately we have that problem now from washing our carpet. I would suggest maybe using shake n vac if you have that in the states just to freshen it up.
bran new carpet comes with a preventer on it, it shoul not be deep cleaned for at least 2 years of use, doing so will remove the stain preventer, if its a decent carpet, check with the builder or the carpet installer before doing anything, there might also be a warranty on it that could be voided if you do that.
