Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them just come equipped with the proper supplies to protect your carpet. Hiring professional carpet cleaners to clean your carpet every 6-12 months is the best way to avoid damaging it while maintaining its fresh look. Read 4 important reasons why it’s worth the extra care.
You’re the most thorough, consistent vacuumer on the planet, and you take pride in how good your carpet looks. Guess what? Your carpet and the air in your home are a lot dirtier than the surface lets on. While vacuuming twice a week is an essential part of keeping your carpet clean, it is not enough to protect your investment long term. Aside from visible stains and crumbs, carpet fibers can hold dirt, dust, bacteria, and other allergens, which can affect not only the air quality of rooms with carpet, but your entire household as well. Hot water extraction, or steaming, is a surefire way to have a clean carpet.
Just because you see a carpet steamer on a commercial with hundreds of testimonials doesn’t mean that product is appropriate for your carpet type, color, or home. Before you say “I already have a steamer,” industrial grade steam cleaners that truly deep clean your carpet can cost a fortune to rent. It’s also highly unlikely that you can safely operate an industrial steamer without causing more damage. That’s where a professional carpet cleaner can save you. Equipped with the proper equipment to give your carpet the deep clean it deserves, professional carpet cleaners make your carpet look new, improve indoor air quality, and extend your carpet’s overall lifespan.
While you may know the basics, such as the different types and how soft they are, a professional understands the science required for a truly deep clean. It’s their job to understand how your carpet is constructed and which chemical solution is best for your particular carpet. We may try to tackle stains on our own, but the wrong cleaning solution or appliance can make the damage even worse. Different kinds of carpet react differently to spills and stains. Professionals understand this and know the best approach. It should be common sense, but don’t assume all carpet cleaners are equally skilled. Be sure to carefully research reviews and ask trusted friends for a recommendation before hiring. And if someone doesn’t know what hot water extraction is, keep looking.
Hiring a professional carpet cleaner isn’t only about refreshing your carpet. Pros will re-apply soil and stain protectants to your carpet. This can guard your carpet from future stains, making maintenance easier and providing you additional peace of mind about your carpet’s longevity. For every 6-12 months you consistently hire a pro, you’re adding comfort, fresh air, and warmth to your home.
