When Did You Last Have Your Carpet Commercially Cleaned?

The carpeting in a house acts just like a filter does. It traps all types of:

• Toxins
• Pathogens
• Bio pollutants
• Volatile organic compounds

All these then get recirculated in the air that the people in the house are breathing, Tobacco smoke is one of the toxins that can be found in dirty carpet and tobacco smoke contains 4,000 various chemical compounds with 43 of them proven to cause cancer. Even if you don’t smoke, the people that lived there before you might have. And these chemicals are picked up by shoes and feet, tracked all over the home and deposited in other areas of your carpet. Now if this doesn’t make you want to hire a commercial carpet cleaner, I don’t know what possibly could.

Clean environment 

Maintaining a clean home environment means that the air your family breathes will be healthier, leading to less illness in the family. Keeping a clean environment also means that the carpet will have a longer life, which means less money spent on having to repair or replace your carpet.

Misconception 

There is a misconception that you need to always wait as long as possible before having your carpets cleaned by professionals. Carpet is constructed to hide any dirt. Many types of weaves can hide over a pound or more of dirt in just one square foot of carpeting before it becomes noticeable. All soil or dirt is also extremely abrasive. Dry soil is like sandpaper. When carpets are left this dirty for long time periods, the fiber can become damaged. This damaged carpet fibers make your entire carpet look dull, worn and dingy.

It is advised by many carpet makers to get your carpets commercially cleaned at least once every 6 months. When did you last have your carpets cleaned?
