While hardwood and vinyl flooring is gaining popularity in recent years, the fact remains that carpet is still a staple in many homes. Particularly in areas that experience proper winter, carpet is used to add insulation and warmth to a home. It can help to keep heating bills down during the cold seasons, and it provides a comfortable experience for your feet. However, carpet also comes with a lot of problems that require them to be professionally cleaned regularly in order to keep them clean and looking like new.
Stains
Carpet is notorious for being susceptible to stains. Whether it’s pets, children, or just clumsy adults—there are a lot of ways a carpet can become permanently damaged through staining. Every stain is different, too. A red wine stain is very different from a pet urine stain, and they require different cleaning methods. Use the wrong method, and you run the risk of setting the stain so even professional cleaners can’t remove it.
Odors
Getting odors out of carpet is one of the hardest things to do. It’s a common myth that baking soda or carpet deodorizer is all you need to handle carpet odors. These products will absorb the odor for a short period of time, but they don’t eliminate the source of the odor, which will eventually start to smell again and require another coat. If the source of the odor is never cleared out, you are always walking on a dirty carpet.
Allergens
Carpets are a trap for allergens, making them especially troublesome for those with respiratory issues. Carpets hold on to dust, dirt, pet dander, and they can even develop mold if not cared for properly. Having the carpet professionally cleaned is important to keep these allergens at bay and protect the health of everyone in the home.
Cleaning
Carpet is difficult to clean correctly. Knowing how to handle various stains or clean different types of carpet requires a lot of knowledge on the subject. Without this knowledge, attempting to clean your carpet can actually do more harm than good. Steam cleaning could set certain stains, and if it isn’t done properly, it can promote mold growth which is a serious health hazard. Knowing how to identify and eliminate odor sources is hard to do, and many people don’t have the know-how to do it correctly.
A reputable cleaning company is the best option for having your carpets professionally cleaned thoroughly and correctly.
