The carpets in your home need cleaning from time to time. Even though you vacuum them regularly, there are pieces of dirt and other things in the carpet that you can't see that can cause allergies and health problems. Having a company come and clean the carpets is an excellent way to reduce health concerns and keep your home clean and fresh.
Dirt and Debris
Carpets are a great way to add some warmth and comfort to the floors in your home, but when you walk into the house after walking around outside, you bring dirt in that is left in the carpet. Even if you are careful to wipe your feet thoroughly, the dirt that comes in, no matter how little it is, can build up in the carpets over time.
Vacuuming the carpets with a high-quality vacuum cleaner is an excellent place to start, and it does help keep the carpets clean, but vacuum cleaners will not remove all the dirt from the carpet. The dirt can build up in the carpeting, and the carpet may start to look dingy or dirty and can even start to smell bad.
Pets and Pests
Adding pets to the home increases the potential for dirt on the carpets, but it also means things like fleas and other small pests can find their way into your home and then into the rug. Sometimes you will not even know they are there, but pests can become a problem because they bring with them dirt and leave behind feces and other material that can create a health risk for your family.
Often, kids play on the floor, and that puts them closer to the dirt and other things in the carpet, so keeping the carpet clean is the best way to protect them.
Carpet Cleaners
Renting a carpet cleaner is an option, and many people will go this route. The machines are perfectly capable of cleaning the carpet, but they are not always easy to use and the job is extremely time-consuming. To do the job right means moving furniture and other items around, so you may need a helper, as well.
Hiring a carpet cleaning service eliminates the labor and time of cleaning the carpets, but it can add some cost to the project. Keep in kind that these cleaning services often use highly specialized equipment that includes heated water, steam, and very specific cleaners to clean the carpeting in your home.
It might cost a little more, but having a carpet cleaner come twice a year to clean the carpets in your home can remove all the things you don't want in the carpet and keep your family healthy — plus, your carpets will look great.
