Carpet Cleaning

Why clean your carpets?

Your carpet is a very large investment, and the number one reason we all have our carpets cleaned is because we “see” the dirt. We want our carpet to last as many years as possible, but there is only one way to accomplish that, and that is to have your carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis. We have listed a few facts for you to consider.

What you don’t see is what may be hurting you and your carpet!

• When you actually “see” the dirt on your carpet you have already started to do damage to your carpet's fibers.
• Carpets act as a magnet for contaminates including dust mites, feces, pet dander, salt, road grime, dirt, and much more!
• Contaminants can be abrasive and wear down your carpet and permanently damage the fibers.
• Regularly cleaning carpets not only makes your carpet look better but also prolongs the life of your carpet.
• Clean carpet creates a sanitary environment in which to live.

How often should I clean my carpets?

The minimum amount of times your carpet should be professionally cleaned is twice a year, however no one can say for sure what carpet cleaning schedule would work for your situation. A few things to consider would be your life style, how many people live in your home or are working in your business, number of pets, children, traffic flow, allergen concerns, and environmental changes. Call us today and we would be happy to set up an arrangement that would work for you and your schedule!

Can I just rent a machine at my local store and do it myself?

The short answer is yes. However, did you know???

What can I do to make sure my carpet stays clean between professional cleanings?

This may sound simple but you can remove a lot of dirt and contaminates yourself between cleanings if you vacuum regularly and have carpet protection applied on your carpets.

• The #1 thing you can do would be to get on a regular carpet vacuuming schedule.
• Have carpet protection applied every time you have a professional cleaning.

How often should I vacuum my carpet?

• Non-Traffic Areas
  Weekly

• Light Traffic Areas
  2 Times per week (3 Passes with the vacuum being sufficient)

• Moderate - High Traffic Areas
  3 to 5 Times per Week (5 passes with vacuum thoroughly)

Heavy vacuuming more slowly will allow the beating or suction action of your cleaner to thoroughly remove embedded particles.
