Even though you may vacuum your carpets often and maybe even rent a carpet cleaner occasionally, your carpets won't be as clean as when you have them professionally cleaned. Professionals, such as Blue Ribbon Carpet Cleaning, deep clean your carpets to get out dirt that's worked down into the fibers. This makes your carpets cleaner and it gets rid of bad odors much better too. Here are some reasons why you should have your carpets professionally cleaned periodically.
Prolong The Life Of Your Carpeting
If you look at the care instructions that came with your carpet, you'll probably see that the manufacturer recommends professional cleaning on a regular basis. That's because deep cleaning removes dirt and grit that is missed otherwise. Dirt is hard on the carpet fibers.
It not only makes the carpet look dirty, the tiny bits of dirt and sand actually cut the fibers when you walk on the carpet and grind the dirt into the fabric. This ruins the appearance of the carpeting over time and wears it out much quicker. By keeping dirt and grit cleaned out of the deep layers of the carpet, it will look like new for much longer.
Keep The Carpet's Appearance Uniform
Certain areas of your carpet are worn more than others. For instance, areas near the door and in hallways get more foot traffic; so they get dirty faster, and the fibers are mashed down more. If you don't clean the carpet regularly, the changes in color and texture of the carpet become permanent. You'll be able to tell a big difference between carpeting behind your couch and the carpeting in front of it.
One way to eliminate this problem is to use rugs in high traffic areas. You can also try rotating your furniture regularly. However, one of the most important things to do is vacuum and clean the high traffic areas frequently to keep dirt out of the fibers. By deep cleaning your carpet, you'll keep the wear on the fibers more uniform and keep dirt and stains from darkening one area of your carpet while a different area stays looking like new.
Remove Bad Odors
Protecting your carpet and prolonging its life are two good reasons to have your carpets professionally cleaned regularly, but removing bad odors is an important consideration too. Carpet fibers do an excellent job of holding onto foul odors from pets and feet. It is difficult to get rid of odors using rented equipment. Part of the reason is because rented equipment gets your carpet too wet, and it can actually make the odors worse because it takes your carpet so long to dry.
Professional equipment is much more powerful. It injects water and then extracts it so bad odors are actually removed. Plus, a carpet cleaning company has the cleaners required to remove pet odors and other offensive smells. Just let them know beforehand of problem areas on your carpet so they can be treated. When the odors are neutralized, your home smells fresher than it does when you just try to cover the odors with carpet cleaning products you buy from the store.
You'll love how your carpets smell after they've been cleaned. For that reason, you may want to have your carpets cleaned before a house party or the holidays so your carpet will be clean and fresh for your guests. Any time of year is a good time for carpet cleaning because professional equipment helps your carpet dry out fast, whether it is hot and sunny outside or cold and snowy.
