Why it is so important to clean your carpets.

Think of everything that happens to your carpets on a daily basis: Constant foot traffic. Dirt that gets dragged in from outside. Pet accidents. Spills and stains… Even when your rugs and carpets LOOK clean, they are constantly accumulating dust and allergens. 

We don’t want to scare you, but a study showed that the average indoor carpet to be about 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat.  So the simple fact is that vacuuming is not enough. Routine vacuuming will help remove loose dirt and other debris but a deeper clean is essential to eliminate other allergens and help prevent bacteria, mold and more. It may feel like a hassle to dish out the dollars and pay for a professional carpet cleaning, but there are many reasons why the benefit of doing so far outweighs the cost. 

Here are some major reasons why getting your carpet routinely cleaned is so important:

CREATES A HEALTHY INDOOR ENVIRONMENT

Over time, bacteria and allergens get stuck in the fibers of rugs and carpets  which can contaminate your indoor air quality. This has been known to cause respiratory and other health issues. A deep cleaning will remove these harmful allergens, keeping your home environment and family healthier. 

EXTENDS THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR CARPET

Dust, dirt and grime start to get ingrained into your carpet fibers over time and cause them to look dull and lackluster. Vacuuming will help remove the surface dirt, but a professional clean gets deeper into the fibers and extracts the debris buildup, helping your carpets look great year after year. So while you may feel you don’t want to spend money on routine professional cleans, these sessions will actually protect your rugs…and ultimately save you money in the long run. 

REMOVES UNSIGHTLY STAINS 

No matter how careful you are, stains are sure to happen…Mud gets tracked inside or coffee spills or your pet leaves you a surprise…. The safest way to treat stains is to leave it to the professionals. Household cleaners often cause discoloration or can even ruin a rug. All stains need to be treated differently, and all rug materials call for a different cleaning method. So next time, instead of DIYing it, call in the experts to do it right the first time. 

GETS RID OF ODORS 

Odors get trapped into carpet fibers over time. This happens when spills aren’t treated properly or fully, when pet hair and dander accumulates over time, and simply from day to day life. The only way to completely rid the rug of odor is to do a deep clean of the carpet. You should see what comes out of a rug that looks clean and stain free after a cleaning!
