Cleaning Effectively At Home

Posted on: 30 December 2017

If it's time to clean your home's carpeting, you may be tempted to do it yourself. While it may save you a bit of money, you not be able to get your flooring as clean as a professional can. At least once a year, or bi-annually, such as during spring and fall, consider treating your carpeting to a deep cleaning by a professional company. 

It's important to clean your carpeting on a regular basis, because it may begin to harbor mildew, bacteria and germs over time. Not only can these unsavory things make your flooring look and smell bad, they may cause health problems, such as allergies, as well.

The more foot traffic your home has, the more often you may need to deep-clean your carpeting. Other factors, such as children and pets, may cause you to hire a carpet-cleaning company more frequently as well. If you have have you have kids who are crawling or spend a lot of time playing on the floor, keeping your carpeting fresh and bacteria-free is extra-important.

Here are some top reasons for hiring a professional carpet cleaning service:

1. Avoid Renting Renting or Buying Products

To thoroughly remove all debris from your carpeting, you'll need to use a machine designed to lift dirt out from deep within its fibers. If you don't already own a carpet cleaner, you'll have to either buy or rent one, as well as purchase the detergent.

Hiring a professional  will save you the hassle of storing the carpet cleaner in a home with limited closet space, as well as moving the machine around from room-to-room and/or from the store to the car and back.

2. More Sanitary

When you rent a carpet cleaner from a retailer, you don't know how clean the machine or when it was last sanitized. Professional carpet cleaners maintain their equipment on a regular basis, and many use sanitizing systems that kill and remove bacteria, germs and mold from carpet fibers.

3. Safer for Carpeting

Carpet-cleaning companies have extensive knowledge of different types of carpeting fibers, such as nylon, polyester and wool blends, and know what specific products and techniques to use on them. If you use a general carpet cleaner or machine, you may risk damaging delicate materials. 

The professionals will also have access to a variety of special treatments, such as stain lifters, to work out even the more stubborn spots and odors.  Contact a service, like Steam  Local Carpet & Air Duct Cleaning, for more help.
