There was a time that people only cleaned their
carpets or thought they needed to clean them when they saw that they were
dirty. That is a myth that needs education.
Clean carpet is not just about the appearance, by
the time you visibly see the dirt, there is so much more you don’t see down in
your fibers. Especially if you do not practice taking your shoes off at the
door or if you have pets and children.
It is recommended that you vacuum your carpet once
a week for every person in your house. SO if you are a married couple with 3
children, you logically should vacuum 5 times a week, more if you have pets. If
you are lacking in the area, then you would be amazed at what is down in your
fibers that you are not seeing.
Carpet acts as a filter for your home, and if you
don’t clean that filter, it becomes clogged and in time stops working. In most
cases that filter will start to leak pollutants back into your home. You will
notice an increase in colds, allergies, in the a/c system.
Also by not professionally cleaning your carpets
and regularly vacuuming it, you are leaving dirts in that become abrasives to
your carpet. Causing the fibers to rub against the dirt in which it acts like
sand paper, slowly eating away at your fibers. This results in a shorter life
span for your carpet. If you have not priced replacing your carpet, you should,
it is an expensive lesson to learn.
So besides vacuuming what else can you do to keep
your carpet looking new? Spot cleaning in between professional carpet cleaning
is a must.
Why can’t I just rent a machine at my local super
market and do it myself? There is no way a small rental machine can do the job
of a professional cleaner. The time it takes you to actually clean the carpet
is 5x as much as a professional service. The chemicals will never be fully out
of your carpet. Which when that happens, the chemicals are dirt magnets and you
will notice that your carpets will get much dirtier faster. Do it yourself also
leaves a tremendous amount of water in the carpet. Which can take days to dry
and may cause mold and mildew in the carpet.
How often should I get my carpets professionally
cleaned? Only you can truly be the judge of that. But a good guide is 2-3 times
a year depending upon the amount of traffic you have on your carpet (human and
your animal friends). You may be able to get away with less often, with fewer
people in your household.
And don’t forget about the upholstery on your sofas
loveseats and even bed mattresses. Scientists believe that each person sheds
almost a million skin cells in a 24 hour period. That adds up to over 8lbs of
skin shed in an year. Where do you think that all goes? Usually on your
furniture and beds. YUCK!! So don’t forget your upholstery when schedualing
your cleaning. And certainly don’t forget about your car upholstery!!
Try the recommendations for a year and see if your
home, car and your bodies feel better.
