Get your carpets professionally cleaned
It’s amazing how much of a difference clean carpets can make to the overall appearance of your home. Often, we don’t even realise how dirty our carpets are getting, and it is only when they are thoroughly cleaned that we appreciate the beautiful results. While giving your carpets a quick vacuum every so often (or, indeed, having a professional cleaner do this as part of a regular cleaning service) is generally enough to keep your home looking neat and presentable, investing in a professional carpet-cleaning service every few months is the best option for ensuring your lovely upholstery looks as good as new for as long as possible.
Whether you’ve spilled red wine on a plush white carpet, have kids who keep dragging dirt in from outside, or simply want your carpets to have a freshen-up, professional carpet cleaning is ideal. The most common method for this is hot water extraction (steam cleaning), but other methods include bonnet cleaning (where an absorbent pad is attached to a rotary floor machine), dry cleaning (using a chemical powder) and dry foam cleaning (where a cleaning agent is worked into a foam and then extracted with a vacuum). Whichever method is used, there are many benefits to professional carpet cleaning.
Your floors stay soft and comfortable
Don’t you just love the feeling of a soft, springy, newly-laid carpet under your feet? So do we. Professional cleaning helps to maintain this feeling, as it stops the fibres from clinging together and making the carpet rough and uncomfortable.
Your carpet looks newer for longer
Over time, we tread all sorts of dirt and dust into our carpets, causing the fibres to discolour slightly. This is completely normal, and has nothing to do with overall standards of cleanliness. You might notice this more at the entranceways to your rooms, as these are areas that are regularly walked on. Professional carpet cleaning helps to ensure that stains, tread marks and ingrained grime are removed, keeping the carpet looking newer for longer.
Your home smells fresh
Just as the fibres in your carpets cling onto dust and grime, they also hold onto odours. If someone in your family smokes, for example, this smell can easily get trapped in the upholstery. Regular cleaning means that your carpets are free from odours, so that your home smells lovely and fresh at all times.
You won’t have to replace your carpet as frequently
Having your carpets cleaned professionally means that they will stay neat, soft and intact, so you will not need to replace them as soon. Most warranties for new carpets actually require you to have them professionally cleaned at least every 18–24 months. Doing so is a big advantage, as carpets can be expensive, so you want to extend their lifetime!
