The perfect carpet is the heart of your home creating a cosy warmth that you and your family can enjoy all year round.

Of all your furnishings, however, carpets are also the ones that are used most frequently, especially in high traffic areas such as landings, halls, and entranceways.

This means that dirt and debris can rapidly accumulate in these areas and if you do not conduct regular maintenance your carpet will deteriorate rapidly, and dust and mould build up that can result in a range of negative health implications.

To maximise the longevity of your carpet and maintain a healthy environment professional carpet cleaning is a must for any homeowner.

What are the Benefits of Carpet Cleaning?

Extended Carpet Life

Carpets can be extremely expensive, and the last thing you want to be doing is having to shell out for a replacement just a few years after finding the perfect style for your home.

With the proper maintenance, a good quality carpet can last up to 20 years, but without regular carpet cleaning from a professional company, the fibres can deteriorate irreparably in under half that time.

Dust and allergens build up in the fibres of the carpet and become so embedded that standard vacuuming alone will be unable to remove them.

This can cause the carpet fibres to split and fray and, over time cause the carpet to wear away.

Professional carpet cleaning companies will use a hot water extraction method to penetrate deep into your carpet fibres eliminating debris and preserving the life of your carpet for years to come.

Creating a Healthy Living Space

When allergens and bacteria become trapped in your carpet, they can cause a number of health problems to those nearby.

When disturbed, whether through vacuuming or simply due to someone walking over the carpet, dust and toxic particles can become airborne, leading to a higher chance of respiratory problems such as asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and cold symptoms.

Carpeted areas that are not cleaned regularly can, therefore, be very unsanitary places to live and can significantly damage your quality of life.

If an area of carpet has become damp due to a spillage or during DIY cleaning, that spot is also susceptible to mould growth which can potentially lead to some much more serious health complications if left untreated.

This means that eliminating dust and bacteria using the skills of a carpet cleaning professional is not only a means of preserving your carpet and your money but also the health and wellbeing of you and your loved ones.

Removal of stains and residue

Professional carpet cleaning is not just effective in ongoing maintenance but can also be extremely effective at targeting specific stains or removing residue left by home cleaning machines.

Discoloration and obvious stains can be a source of huge frustration and can make you less keen to invite guests into your home.

Luckily, professionals are usually able to completely eradicate any signs of even the toughest stains.

Just some of the liquids that professional cleaning can help remove from your carpets include:

• Red Wine/Fruit Juice
• Mud
• Pet urine
• Coffee
• Blood
• Ink

Professional cleaning companies will always use the latest equipment and commercial cleaning products that leave no residue behind after use.

Improving your home’s aesthetic

A carpet can bring life into your home, and as the biggest furnishing in any room plays a major part in setting the mood and atmosphere in your home.

When your carpet begins to look dirty, faded, or outdated, your home may begin to feel the same.

Regular carpet cleaning can help to keep your home feeling and looking fresh and new, improving the aesthetics of your home, and helping you to feel more relaxed and comfortable when at home.

One of the best times to have your carpets cleaned is as part of a spring clean, removing all the dirt that has built up during the winter months and breathing life into your home for the new year.
