Why should you clean your carpet ?

By james • April 30th, 2010

When you first purchased your home , you made one of the most important investments  you can make . You decided it was important to provide your family with  a home that was comfortable ,  that would last for many years , and one that would increase in value  as the years went by .  You wanted a safe home that you could raise your children , and you would be proud of.

Just as painting the outside is important in protecting  your home from the elements , taking care of the inside ,in particularly the carpets , isn’t just about appearance sake .  Cleaning your carpet on a regular basis can also  remove  dirt and sand  that can prematurely wear your carpets.   It can also improve your indoor air quality .

Proper carpet cleaning always starts with thorough vacuuming .  Vacuuming removes the loose soil , dander and dust  that gets tracked in and can by carried throughout your home via your central  air systems .  This is a step of preventative care that will prevent buildup of dirt and grit  and keep your carpets in good  , maintained condition .

Carpet cleaning  should be scheduled  every 6 to 12 months , depending on  the amount of traffic.  Oily spots can be removed with proper spotters , and soiling can be removed with proper detergents.  Color loss associated with bleaches or harsh cleaning agents can most of the times be corrected and matched up to the correct shade and color.

One important thing to remember is , don’t wait until the carpets looks soiled ,it can be holding up to 3 pounds of dirt per square yard , which can put extreme wear on your carpet .  So schedule timely cleanings, and vacuum regularly .
