How Often Should I Professionally Clean My Carpets?

This is probably to most frequently asked question we get. To answer it properly you will need a little insight on this subject.

Carpets are like your clothes. If you scrub the hell out of it, it doesn’t look new any more. Example: If you have a stain on your shirt you can follow this usual sequence of applying spotter, scrub, and rinse. When it dries you have a permanent scrub mark. If you use the technique of a hard bristle brush to beat down on the stain when it dries there is no permanent scrub mark!

Residential ‘type’ plush (cut pile) carpet that has not been cleaned in some time requires a more thorough cleaning throughout the entire yarn. All of us ‘professional carpet cleaners’ should already know that carpet fibers are created to ‘hide’ dirt! When you actually see soiled carpeting it is beyond regular maintenance. Ask a home owner if he/she regularly maintains their carpeting. Most will say every 1 1/2 to 2 years, which technically speaking, is to late. Soil damages carpet plastic fibres in which cannot be corrected.

Steam cleaning is beneficial because it removes deep-seated dirt and bacteria that cannot be accessed by other methods. Steam cleaning can remove fungi and virus-causing bacteria, and it also makes the carpet look fresh and clean. For those who suffer from allergies, steam cleaning is an ideal method for cleaning your carpets. Steam cleaning does not require the use of dangerous chemicals, making it ideal for those with small children and pets.

After years of working with carpets, seeing the wear and tear different homes and offices get, we have found the most effective decision (and economical in the long run) is to book your local carpet cleaner 3-4 times a year. This alone will help you avoid the cost of replacing your carpets every few years or having to live with grimy, old-looking carpets.
