We walk on our carpets 24/7 and most of the time it’s the last thing we think about cleaning.  All the debris that builds up from daily walking, dragging gunk in from the bottom of your shoes can cause a lot of damage and bacteria in your carpets.  It is very important to keep maintaining your carpets on a daily basis.  Vacuuming is a huge help keeping the carpets clean and debris free but at times you will need to get a professional carpet cleaner out on a regular basis.  Remember if you have a very active household with kids and pets you need to clean your carpets more than once a year.

Some helpful tips:

  • Regular carpet cleaning using the extraction method can increase the life of carpets significantly, protecting your floor-covering investment.
  • It does protect the air quality in your home.  Carpets trap airborne pollutants; however, eventually those pollutants must be removed in order to protect the carpet and maintain indoor air quality.
  • Carpets will be easier to maintain with regular cleaning.  Soiling will be easier to pick up with regular vacuuming.
  • Also prevents allergens in your home along with getting rid of bacteria build up on your carpets.  Making it safer for your family and pets.
  • Removes the dust mites, pet dander and bedbugs for a healthier living.
  • Maintaining your carpet warranties.  Most companies suggest 12-18 months but if you have an active household with kids and pets you need to have it cleaned more frequently.
  • Placing a welcome mat at the front door as a receptacle for the dirt will be helpful.
