Carpets in Stockholm: Guide to professional care and cleaning

Carpeting has made a strong comeback in Stockholm. From the luxurious bedrooms in Bromma to the modern activity-based offices in Solna Business Park , more and more people are choosing to install full-coverage textile floors. They offer unbeatable acoustics, a soft feel and an exclusive atmosphere. But with a permanently installed carpet also comes a special responsibility for maintenance.

A carpet acts like a giant sponge that soaks up dust, spills and dirt. Unlike a loose carpet, you can't send it off to be cleaned. That's why specialist knowledge in carpet cleaning in Stockholm is required to clean the carpet on site without damaging the subfloor or creating moisture problems. At Flygande Mattvätt, we are experts at just that.

Why carpets require professional deep cleaning

Regular vacuuming only removes surface dirt. Below the surface, deep in the fiber network, skin deposits, food debris and microscopic particles from the Stockholm air collect. For offices, this often means that the carpet becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to a poorer work environment and increased sick leave.

By having your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year, you ensure:

• Better acoustics: A clean carpet absorbs sound better than one that is clogged with dirt.

• Longer durability: Sand grains embedded deep in the carpet cut through the fibers when walked on. Professional extraction removes these abrasives.

• Fresh scent: We neutralize odors instead of just covering them with perfume.

  
  

Flying Carpet Cleaning's method of on-site cleaning

When we perform carpet cleaning at home or in offices in Stockholm, we use advanced extraction machines. The process looks like this:

1. Pre-treatment: We apply an environmentally friendly cleaning agent that dissolves grease and stubborn dirt.

2. Mechanical processing: If necessary, we gently brush the carpet to lift the fibers and loosen deeply seated particles.

3. Hot water extraction: We inject hot water under pressure and immediately suck it up along with all the dirt. Our machines have extremely high suction power, which means that the carpet only gets slightly damp.

4. Stain treatment: Stubborn stains from coffee, ink or oil receive special treatment with customized preparations.

Save 50% on labor costs with the RUT deduction

For private individuals in Stockholm, professional carpet cleaning is very affordable thanks to the RUT deduction for carpet cleaning . Since the work is done in your home, you can deduct half of the labor cost directly from the invoice. This makes it cheaper to hire a professional than to rent a machine yourself and risk ruining the carpet through overwetting.

Technical insight: The risk of "doing it yourself"

It is common to rent a carpet cleaning machine at your local hardware store. However, there are major risks with carpets:

• Mold: If the machine does not have sufficient suction power, the carpet will become too wet. In Stockholm, where humidity can be high, you risk mold from underneath.

• Glue release: Too much water can dissolve the glue that holds the carpet in place, leading to bubbles and unevenness.

• Detergent residue: Cheap machines don't rinse out the detergent properly. Residual chemicals attract dirt like a magnet, making the carpet look dirty again after just a few weeks.

Summary: Three tips for your carpet

1. High-quality vacuuming: Invest in a vacuum cleaner with a brush roller that whips the dust out of the fibers.

2. Act quickly on spills: Always have a clean microfiber cloth on hand to blot up spills before they become absorbed into the fiber.

3. Plan maintenance: Don't wait until the carpet looks dirty. By the time dirt is visible to the naked eye, the wear and tear on the fibers has already begun.
