Out of all of the furnishings in your home your carpet sees the most traffic, meaning it takes the most damage. With each person that walks into your home, your carpet traps more dirt and debris particles. Vacuuming alone is not enough. In order to extend the life and beauty of your carpet, it needs to be professionally cleaned once or twice per year. Here are the top benefits of having your carpet professionally cleaned:
1) Extends the life of your carpet
Perhaps the more important benefit of having your carpet professionally cleaned is that your carpet will last longer. Over time, carpet fibers trap dirt, debris, allergens, and dust that can dull the appearance of your carpet and degrade its quality.
With proper care and maintenance, your carpet can last upwards of 10 years! No matter how well you care for your carpet, it won't last a lifetime but it can easily last a decade. Vacuuming 1-2 times per week in between professional cleanings will also extend the life of your carpet.
2) Health benefits
Again, carpets trap all of the particles at the bottom of your shoes like dirt, dust, and a variety of other allergens. Excess dust and allergens can affect the nose, sinus, and lungs which can cause breathing problems like asthma. Vacuuming can help, but the only way to truly clean and sanitize your carpets is by a professional cleaner. Professional grade products deep clean below the surface to help clean the air you and your family breath!
3) Dust and mold prevention
Professional carpet cleaning can help prevent many problems and one is dust mite infestations. Dust mites are so tiny, they can't be seen with a naked eye, but that doesn't make them harmless. These tiny creatures wreak havoc on allergies and can make day to day living a little uncomfortable.
Along with dust mites, dirty carpets are at a higher risk for developing mold. If your house is also typically humid, it can be a breeding ground for mold.
