If you carpets could talk to you, what would they say? Would they ask for a scrub and a good clean? We understand how hectic life can get, and how easy it can be to just “sweep things under the rug.” For most people, getting their carpets professionally cleaned is not a number one priority. There might even come a time where you look at your carpet and think, will they ever look the same as they once did? The answer: yes! Any carpet, no matter how old or how dirty, can benefit tremendously from a professional carpet cleaning. All homes benefit from clean carpets, but not a lot of people are aware just how important it is to keep your carpets clean and in good shape. Below we’ve outlined some key benefits of having clean carpets in your home.
For Your Health
Carpet fibers are very good at trapping microscopic particles, such as dirt, dust, pollen, and dander. All of these things can be triggers for allergies and other respiratory afflictions. While it is common to think that vacuuming on occasion can help reduce these particles, they can actually be dispersed into the air, increasing allergen levels in the home immediately after vacuuming. Now, we’re definitely not telling you to not vacuum your home. Regular vacuuming is one of the best and easiest ways to keep your carpets clean and healthy. However, if vacuuming is the only form of cleaning used on your carpets, it is still easy for dust and allergens to penetrate and live in your carpets. Professional cleaning removes allergens from your carpets, make vacuuming healthy and beneficial.
Dirty Carpets Aren’t Attractive
In either a home of business, dirty carpets can diminish the way your home or place of business looks. Beyond aesthetics, they can cause stale or unpleasant odors throughout the area. If you are around these carpets frequently, you may grow accustomed to these odors, making it more difficult to detect. To outsiders and guests, however, it may be more apparent. Dirty carpets contain and trap tiny particles that can emit odors. Smells can have a direct correlation to how people feel in their surroundings, and can affect how people act and react in the environment. Dirty carpets can also be a sign of uncleanliness and neglect, which can have a profound affect in any business.
Is Vacuuming Enough
As mentioned above, vacuuming alone is not always enough. Vacuuming is an extremely effective way to remove dirt, dust, and other larger particles from carpet fibers, and can help prolong the life of your carpets. However, there are tiny particles, such as oils, stains, grease, dander, skin particles, and more that cannot be easily removed through just vacuuming. These smaller particles embed themselves deep into the carpet, getting trapped near the base of the fibers. By letting these particles sit, they can damage the structure of the fibers, ultimately shortening the life of your carpets.
