Why exactly should you clean your carpets? Meaning a real, professional, deep clean. You could always rent a “carpet cleaner” from a local store, or you may even have purchased one for your home. But what’s the difference between that and a professional clean? And why bother if the carpets don’t look that bad?
- A REAL CLEAN. A professional carpet cleaning is not the same as your run-of-the-mill carpet cleaner. A real deep clean of your carpets should involve preparation, vacuuming, pre-treating, cleaning through extraction, and inspection to ensure there aren’t certain areas that need additional attention. Having the carpets regularly cleaned will make day-to-day maintenance even easier with regular vacuuming.
- IMPROVES THE APPEARANCE. This one seems like it would be obvious, but sometimes you don’t know how dirty something really is until you clean it. A professional carpet cleaning will improve the look of your carpets and the entire room, whether that’s in your home or business space. Spots and stains can be removed and high-traffic areas won’t look so worn and bleak any longer.
- SAFETY. Carpets can harbor so many different items, including harmful ones, that may get embedded over time if they are not removed. Everything from dust, dirt, food, pet dander, any anything else that may get tracked in from outside. It’s best to keep your carpet clean to remove any potential dangerous items to avoid any unwanted surprises.
- AIR QUALITY, HEALTH, & ALLERGENS. So many different particles get trapped in carpets over time that can be harmful to your health. Bacteria, dust, dust mites, bed bugs, food particles, pet dander, and so many other allergens continue to build up over time. Having your carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis with help remove all of these items to create a healthier space for you, your family, your pets, or even employees.
- INCREASE THE LIFE OF YOUR CARPETS. Having them regularly cleaned will help reduce the wear and tear that occurs over time. All of the dirt and crud that gets embedded in carpets will continue to tear up the fibers and structure over time. Every step on an unclean carpet will grind away at its foundation like sandpaper. Having your carpets professionally cleaned will help your carpets last as long as possible and save you money in the long run!
- MAINTAIN WARRANTIES. Most people forget this one, but some major companies require record of professional cleanings at least once every 24 months to maintain their warranty. If you try to clean the carpets yourself with a steam cleaner you may actually void the warranty as well. Professional cleanings are important for old and new carpets alike!
- HAPPINESS, PRODUCTIVITY, & MORALE. A clean space is a happy space! Studies have shown that keeping a clean home and/or work environment really does increase happiness and reduce stress. If you’re at home it may just improve your overall well being. If you keep the carpets clean in your workspace it will make you and any employees feel better as well, increasing morale and productivity!
Regular, professional carpet cleaning will do wonders for your carpets, whether it’s at your home or your office. It will benefit you personally, and has a positive effect on everyone that spends time on or around those carpets! Whether that’s friends, family, pets, or employees, there’s always a reason to do it. And if you rent or lease make sure your landlord or building owner is having the carpets cleaned too!
Carpets should be professionally cleaned once every 24 months at least, but ideally would be cleaned once every 6-12 months (depending on the type of carpet and how often it’s used).
